first time getting all the way to harvest... 12/12 from seed project...hempy... gen hy flora series...I started flushing at about 5% amber trichs...but about my 10th day of flushing, I opened my grow room door at lights on, and my leaves were super droopy, my plants felt kinda moist,,, and my buds felt really soft and kinda wet....so I trimmed, hung, and went out of town to come back home to the most fluffiest bud I have ever experienced...its still smoking but its so soft and airy...is this normal???or what did I do wrong???when they were gowing I squeezed all the time and they felt nice and firm...

It's time to put them in jars with a humidity pack or to burp to cure your buds.

thanks...they have been in the jars for a couple weeks now...I've been smoking it sometimes too...I just don't know why they got so airy...I did not know if this was normal...actually my last four or five days of 12/12, I didn't water and that's when they got sad, and soft, and wet...I wondered if this was the cause...I wanted to flower a couple more days but when I walked in and seen them laying over, and lifeless, is when I decided it was def time to chop...

oh yeah and I don't have a hm pack yet...but I leave in jars 24 hours then leave jar open for about 5 hours...less and less now since they seem to be dry enough...but my stems still are not snapping either...this was a bagseed project grow...but I have a delahaze ive been vegging 6 weeks, and 2 special queens ive been vegging for 5 weeks, that I want to have a better finish on the harvest...

You can get the Boveda packs for .99c, they will last from 3 months to well over a year, I even keep some in my guitar case to control the humidity and dryness, it works both ways.

what I meant when I said flush, was no nutes for the last 10 days...not by administering more water...I actually watered less...

I used an old mars 300 watt led...my temps were 89-92 lights on...83-87 off...they were fine until that last day...then they were yellow, droopy, sad looking,,, soft and kinda sweaty...it was a bagseed...idc about the harvest as it was a project, but wouldn't want it happening again...they barely showed any frost...really only seen trichs when looking through loupes...maybe it was a combo of bad genetics and low wattage lighting (and my newbness)...was just wondering was this common, or was it a common problem, or just my prob to figure out what I did wrong...any and all help is appreciated...I learned so much from that first grow.

My guess is @Roobarb is right. Bring those temps down next time and see the difference. Then add some light and see the difference....
