Now flowering GDP :) How can I get dense nugs?

    Hey everyone,

    I grew GDP last year and it is EXCELLENT! It has so many uses, and doesn't give you too big of a head high, mostly body high. My harvest was really good, however my buds were rather airy and by no means dense. I'm striving for dense nugs this time.

    My setup is a 2x4 tent with COB Timber Grow Lights. I have the Fox Farms trio that I generally use.

    I read that potassium is really good for this. While I'm using my fox farm trio, can you recommend anything else I should use for a nute? I've considered buying Big Bud or Bud Candy, though I've read mixed reviews. I also prefer to go 100% organic.

    Any recommendations you can provide is greatly appreciated!

    Best,
    SoCal79

    It's all about the lighting

    Do you have the model 3vl because that should have enough power to give quality buds.

    Stuff you pour on will not make denser or bigger buds. In cases of high growth hydro they may be needed just to keep up. But in a 2x4 tent under those lights you should have good hard buds in the prime footprint of the light. If you are trying to cover too much area or have to hang your lights too high to cover all the plants or you improperly create an uneven canopy, your buds will be light and airy and fluffy.

    Also, bigger roots bigger fruits.
    But really it comes down to having atleast 950 ppfd for flower and that's the low end I'm pushing 340 actual watts in a 2x4 at ten inches above canopy and I always end up with rock hard buds. My lux meter at 12 inches pushes 50k don't know what that equals in ppfd but I know the ladies love it. Ive used big bud and bud candy and they both work pretty well .

    Add epsom salt and molasses to your regiment. May be just genetics also.
