Needing help in week 4 of flowering

I'm currently in week 6 of flowering and my tent looks like a failure. I'm using 5 gallon Phat Sack grow bags, Fox Farms Ocean Organic Soil with General Organics Go Box for feed. I have a 8' inline carbon scrubber and exhaust running most of the time. I used a 400watt metal halide bulb for the veg cycle. When I switched over to flowering I replaced my bulb with a 400watt hps. I added c02 to the tent when I switched to 12/12. The first week after introducing c02 I noticed a big difference. Now for week 6, I expected the buds to be much larger and denser but that's not the case. Any suggestions on what I can do to help produce bud growth in my last 3 weeks of flowering? Thanks for any help in advance.

The bud looks good. I have been told by many people the last couple weeks of flowering the bud swells and put on weight. It was true for my first grow and I hope the same for you.

Your plant.looks great. Don't get too caught up in your calendar. I would guess that you started counting flowering days when you switched the photoperiod. That would explain why they look more like they're in week 4 than 6. You did not fail. As long as those plants are green and happy you're succeeding!

Thank you amigo for your input. I'll be posting updates and would appreciate any and all advice.

It looks like you have more than three weeks left. What strain? Flowers really put on weight the last few weeks. I wouldn't be so concerned with the size of the yield put the focus on quality. Yield comes with experience, usually...

Thank you. It's been kinda nerve racking because I see these growers online with amazing plants that look like they are on steroids Lol.

They look good, don't up the anything lol. Patience as stated is a hard thing to keep a handle on at your stage lol.

They are very green but it's hard to get a good pic in the tent with that orange light. You're right I started counting from the day I switched over.

I have 11 Chemdog hybrids and 1 Girl Scout Cookie. I'm going to keep them going another 2 weeks longer than I planned on

Patience has no place in the tent lol. Thanks man. I should be working on the house in my free time but I find myself at the hydroponic store a lot looking at things I can't afford lol.

Your leaf tips are yellowing, could be a sign of slight over fert ?

So you have 12 plants in the tent then ? How big is the tent ?
As others have said, it looks fine. Stay the course.
But I'm still thinking 12 plants, in 5 gallon sacks that has to take up a lot of room. I have a 400 along with a 600 and theres no way I could get a proper footprint for 12 plants in 5 gal containers.
What am I missing here?

Cobnobuler has nailed it.
I would say your severely lacking in light...i`ve got 4000watts over the same amount of plants
I believe intense light will give the biggest, rockhard nugs

Hahaha, lol, I am glad I am not the only one that does it.... My local store has become a bit of a social club in the time I have been using it.... Patience is a virtue & good bud is golden... Well done so far...

I see no problems ,the buds look a tad behind for week 6,be better with a full picture of the whole room though to see what the bigger picture looks like.

If you are not doing a organic grow hit them with overdrive for a week,or pk 13/14,crowning should have started now,but don't panic,the buds are not stressed or they would be colouring be patient and I'm sure it will work out fine,leave them till they have finished crowning though ,what are the stats for the strain week wise .

I was wondering what that is from. I've been following the directions but on the heavy side. I'm going to cut back
