Hi @Zoladarling and welcome to the forum 
I use something called shooting powder in the last few weeks of flower. It has high potassium and phosphorus and helps made buds huge. The packet I use is from House & Garden. Besides the added amendments, genetics will play a big role. If you already have plants in flower, try the shooting powder. If not, it is always worth researching which strains have consistently big buds. Good luck!
How long are the plants in flower at this time? Autos or Photos? Are you able to see if the trichomes are cloudy or clear?
They look a little underdeveloped but that might be the strain. I start looking a trichomes around weeks 7-8 depending on strain and when the pistils start changing. For when to harvest, It does depend on the effects desired, but many places in this forum mention more clear=more speedy, heady effects and cloudy more chill factor, with amber being more couch lock. If the plant is an auto you can look up the average harvest week, and if a photo, make sure most of the pistils have changed colors and start monitoring trichomes based your desired effects.Take a peek in the loupe again and see about how much clear vs cloudy you’re seeing. You can always take a sample bud, dry it for a couple days, and give it a taste test too. I do this sometimes with unfamiliar strains (or bag seeds) when I don’t know what to expect. Good luck!

Maybe, how deep did you plant it? They usually come up within a few days. If seed was placed deep could take longer. Otherwise it may have been drowned by water or potentially contaminated from handling.

Welcome to ILGM forum.
If you asking about the plant in the photo and whether she looks OK, the answer is she looks healthy. She looks a little stretched out, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Node spacing is a little more than I would want. But otherwise she looks fine.

Have anyone had experience with 'California Dream" and ‘Bruce Banner’. I’m looking to pick up one of those seeds and hope to find out which is the easiest with high yields to grow before I buy seeds
Than you they are looking healthy as to not really any burns or anything I was worried about how long the hairs where getting and not really filling in I’m coming up day 60 from sprout and it’s my first time with a auto

I have a funny but serious question. I’m wanting to grow in the ground in my greenhouse but I see gopher holes all over. What can I do to prevent or protect my plants from the gophers?

She will start filling in, main thing at this point is keeping her healthy. You mentioned day 60, if you referenced that in relationship to what the seed company has advertised harvest times, those are generic times that companies use as a selling point. Autos do what autos want to do, don’t worry about how long she is taking. You may want to consider topping for future grows. Some people will say not to top a auto. As long as you top it in early veg, generally speaking it’s not a problem. I’d also recommend investing into a quality lighting, not sure what you are currently using, but the way she stretched out is a indication that she wants more light.

Ok, so you have been growing for a while. Wasn’t sure when you had asked about the one plant. I mostly grow photos, I’ve grown a few autos. Here’s a couple of people that are experienced with autos, just tag them in the future if you have questions about autos. Nicky and Not2sureyet both are very experienced and helpful with autos.

I grew in 10 gallon pots last year. Really want to plant in the ground. But I’m not gonna take any chance that they get my plants. So I’ll get
Just get bigger pots and compost my soil every year for the next.
