Dense buds?

  1. Can someone explain and help solve? I can grow awesome buds but they are not solid... Opens to mostly red hairy buds I guess Id say. Is it the nutes or maybe the drying doin that?
     
  2. It's a lot of things. Going to need an explanation of your set up, from lights/ventilation to medium/nutrients and anything else in between like temps
     
  3. 2/1000 Hps. 60% hum 65 to 80 temp MG garden soil. b52 early Bloom boost durin flower. Water every other day or 2...
     
  4. What have you grown?

    Your watering way to much.Weed likes some dry time.Use the weight of your pots to determine when to water.


    google lollipopping.that will help a lot with more dense buds.

    Heres one vid I found quickly: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hp9xPEoW6a4[/ame]
     
  6. generally it's either lights being too far away or too high of temps that will cause loose airy buds.

    If it's none of those things, you need to get a different strain. There is a huge difference in strains. My gdp is like 4x as dense as my superskunk grown in the exact same conditions.

    here's a good hid chart that shows the 'sweet spots' of different wattages of lights...

    If your plants within the 'sweet spot' and they're burning...then it's too hot for them and you need better cooling/airflow.

    Anything in that blue area is gonna just be fluff and imo not worth growing. I'm a firm believer in growing the plants only as tall as the light penetrates so that you don't end up[ wasting time growing a bunch of stems. By growing only in that sweet spot you'll get solid buds all the way down to the soil.

    A good rule of thumb is 'direct light to every budsite' :)
     
  9. Lose that nasty Miracle Grow crap - and I'm being nice when I say crap.
