I'm surprised 10 weeks is too long for folks. I avoid amber, but most of my strains have ran 9-11 weeks and good things come from those who wait.
My MLI will be rock hard, and looks to be a 8-9 week finisher. Haven't smoked her but man does she have such a sweet, sugar aroma. Downside to this strain is how slow and lack of vigor it has in veg, a problem with IBL.
Eta bodhi superstitious was pretty dense, quick veg and was a 9 weeker. An overall good hybrid.

gorilla glue #4 has some rock hard nugs. more solid than any other strain ive grown or smoked in 15+years.
OG Ghost also has rock hard nugs.
both strains grown under 2x 600hps (73-75* lights on, 73* lights off), 1443 ppm every feeding (feed/feed/water).

I should note that I've had cuts from the same strain grow fluffy in soil while a side by side in hydro grew rocks. There are other factors than just genetics, perhaps feed / ph related.

Ditto! Both versions of my Cherry Pie are solid rocks and my GSC
nugs are also rock solid!

I don't know, but most strains can be "rock hard", although I do believe some strains are simply not dense (some sativas and hazes come to mind).
I do know environment has a large role. I've ran my goji cut countless times now, I've found if temperatures are high, the buds lose density, I know feeding plays a role as too much nitrogen in flower also seems to have the affect of loss of density. Also some people seem to harvest early, which definitely plays a role. The last few days/a week are the best point where buds seem to plump up and fill in.

Agreed. Personally I've only had a few strains that truly finished in less than 70 days.

original misty (HGF) i grew this about 10 years ago, one of the phenos produced nuggets that were very dense compared to most plants
i split open a few of the tops when growing, i was convinced it had seeded itself from the look of it
gladly it was seed free just very hard nugs, average resin with an afghan taste

I should add that if used properly one could achieve equal or greater yields in 15% less flowering time using CMH.

Agreed. Many times I think either people are counting arbitrarily (12/12 started prior to an individual starts counting), are growing indicas, or harvesting early.

I harvest when the flowers are ready (80% cloudy, 10 amber, 10 clear) or as close to that ratio as possible. means a 9-9.5 week flower time starting flowering time when preflowers form, NOT when I switch to 12/12. if I count 12/12, then 10-10.5 weeks.

This is what I mean by arbitrary. Accurate counting starts at the flip. That explains why people think the strain is 8 weeks instead of the actual 9.5-10 weeos
Dangit , went to throw one at you and it stuck to my hand.
