Yes, just keep er going till the leaves start dying / she uses up all her nutrients. The bud should definitly thicken out more too, ive never actually grown an auto but your girl definitly doesnt look finished

you could have a turn around RIGHT NOW or you could have some seriously airy buds. thats a nice plant it grew, or at least tried to grow like it was in the sun. very BIG although you should have more leaves and less stretch and bigger stems for a plant that size but overall it looks pretty well filled out.

now on to your question. yes they will get bigger but not what you could have. you do not have enough light.

you need at least x4 more 26w cfl honestly to cover all that plant decently really you need something that has some distance to the light at this point like a 400w HPS. but you need to up the light or shes gonna stay airy she has got a while (8-12 weeks) to go yet too.
 
okay thanks. this is my first grow so i just want a decent yield... as far as getting more lights i'm tapped out on money.

nice plant! as polyarcturus says more light for bigger buds. they will keep getting larger so try to max them out. i've grown several northern light autos and they're great smoke along with high yields. also, as mentioned about removing leaves, i have an old saying i read on RIU - " remove fan leaves for smaller yield".
