Hey all! I believe that I am in mid 5th week of flower. It's Acapulco Gold strain. 8 weeks flowering time total. I was wondering when would the buds start fattening up? I started to give molasses in week 3 of flower. Thanks in advance.
When will buds fatten up?

I wouldn't go by that 8 week flowering time. They'll be done when they're done. Looks like you have more than 2 1/2 weeks.
Why did you cut off all the fan leaves? And I'd move them away from that tomato that looks like it has Fusarium wilt or some other disease that could spread to your plants.

Looking good, Acapulco Gold from Barney's Farm I am guessing? It was close to 10 weeks indoor for me (from the day of the light flip), but all phenos are different. I would say 8 weeks after bud sites show up. Keep an eye on it and post some pics in 2-3 weeks, we can help you figure it out.

Defoliation technique, maybe?

Well I know about defoliation but I don't practice it and it really isn't needed for outdoor plants growing in the sun. That was my subtle way of saying they trimmed too much.
I've grown Barneys Farm Acapulco Gold before. If I remember they went about 11 weeks before they were ready for me to harvest. But I harvest later than many people do.

I do not practice it either, not to the extent that some do, anyway. It is most likely an 11 week like you say, its Sativa dominant, some times I cut before hand to keep on schedule and preference.
The fan leaves were yellowing and fallen off. I'm in northeastern ma so nights have been getting colder and they get about 10 11 hours of direct sun. hours of sun a day do to the fall equinox creeping up. Yeah the tomatoe plant is a wall from street view. It's beyond it's harvest. I'll move the mj plants. Thanks.
Defoliation apparently gives more light to the bud site. There are some who contridict that by taking nutrients away by getting rid of fan leaves. I have 2 blue dream and left them alone. Just experimenting. My buddy defoiliates more than that and has a good yield. He gave me the clones of AGand BD. So i cloned more from them for my indoor set up. This is my first grow. And yes from barny's farm. I use coast of main soil.Well I know about defoliation but I don't practice it and it really isn't needed for outdoor plants growing in the sun.

Also, it's getting less sun. And days are not as hot. I cut the fan leaves a week ago. The plant wasn't bothered by it.

Thanks. I will update just before harvest. I started giving them black strap molasses week 3 in flower. According to my buddy and online pics or looked like week 3. Lol
It's my first grow. I left the leaves on my blue dream plants. I'm doung an experiment. I took the advice from a novice grower. I'll post nee pics of the Acapulco Gold. That's 1 of my blue dream.

Defoliation is how I grow and I've had great success. These are about 2 weeks out. Black domina and purple crunch. Crunch is my own creation .

Very nice. I pulled a bunch of outdoor. I'm getting into indoor. I think it's easier cause I control the environment but not getting the results that I've had in the past with half the equipment and little understanding of nutrients.
