The key to super dense buds?

**neverever** · 05-20-2008, 10:11 PM

So im wondering what the key is to getting really hard dense buds. At the moment im flowering 5 medium sized plants and 4 that flowered pretty much straight from clone(maybe 2 weeks veg). They are all the same unknown strain that ive grown before expcept for one, but the small ones have rock hard buds and have way more crystals but the larger ones have quite loose buds in comparison. Most of the buds that ive harvested havnt been very dense. Anyone know why this is or what to do get dense buds?

The one on the far left is the different strain which was supposedly Hindu Kush but i dont think it is(I dont actually have a clue)(and i know it looks shit). The rest are all the same.

I can't really tell how far away things, I don't know if its me or if the picture is distorted.

Keep the temps in the 70's. If it gets too hot it will lead to light airy buds.

Its because the shorter plants are indica dominant... characteristics of indicas include short stocky plants and super dense fat nugs. Your taller plants are Sativa dominant and sativas have lighter nugs than indicas. They also take longer to flower but have a more euphric uplifting head high and the couchlock indica. Thats why your sativas have thinner nugs... a possible reason for the sativas looking less crystally is just that the buds are not as developed as your indica nugs because their flowering cycle lasts over 10 weeks and your indicas probably less than that...so dont worry they still got time to fill out alot

cheers

Sorry, the photo was taken with a fish eye lens. The light is actually close as fuck. I cant get it any closer without getting too hot. It just looks fucked cos of the lens. Also the temps have been perfect, never over 26*C. And the plants are clones of the same plant, so they are all indica (except for the one on the left). So it must be somthing else. I hope that makes sense. Im fuckin blazed

Room temps & light are the 2 biggest factors weather the finished buds will be loose or dense,get the room tems under 80 degrees,preferably around 75 degrees & give them more light,either adjust your present lights or add more lights.

I must not be making sense. Cheers guys

You are making sense.. its not a light distance problem if your short plants further from the light are filling out nicely and your tall plants are even closer to the light then how could the light be too far away for the tall plants to develop well but its plenty for the short plants being further away? Maybe it gets a little to hot at the top of your room and that could be why your tallest plant is wilting a little... but i dont think thats your problem... just read my last post again

i think your doing great

Ya i say if anything make sure your temp at the top closest to the light isnt to hot... if it is consider bending and tying down the tallest plant gently at an angle and/orjust get another fan or any other cooling meathod
