Very light buds, advice?

JIMBO33 · #1 (**permalink**) 05-08-2003, 10:29 AM

I am wrapping up my first grow, and have harvested about half my plants. I knew my yield was going to be low, but I felt encouraged by some decently sized buds and top colas. Anyway after harvesting, trimming, and drying, these things hardly weigh anything. The better plants are only producing 8-10 grams. The bud has lots of trichomes, hairs, but not much of anything else. I see pictures of good buds that have the hair, and then lots of green material in behind the hairs that don't really look like leaves. The really good buds have white crystals covering that green material. My buds don't really look like that, just the hairs, a little bit of leaf material and then stem. It's only bagseed and a lot of things weren't optimized, but are there any specific problems related to this kind of bud growth? Thanks.

How many weeks did you flower?

Good genetics is a must, even if the environment for your plants is perfect, it will still suck at harvest all because you used seed from a bag you bought...invest in some decent seeds and you'll be reaping the rewards!
