Why are my buds so fluffy any help!!!!!

Hey im a first time grower , x6 white rhino at 8 weeks flowering and my colas are real fluffy , is this du to the strain ? and sum of them have started to grow finger like branches ??? any help would be great

Fluffy buds can be attributed to high heat and little air movement in your grow space.

8 weeks since the switch over or 8 weeks since the first signs of flowering ? id say you have at least 2 or 3 weeks left. they will dense up a bit when there ready

i would say even longer than that


HPS BTW?

Adequate light makes buds denser, inadequate light makes them airy.

dude, I've seen bigger buds on week 3 plants honest. If your shit is that small, your either A) What the fella mentioned above said, B) No Co2 & no air movment. C) Not enough nutrients & idk man your shits just hit lol don't cut it down straight up, it won't even get you high.
What are your temps & lights?

What strain? is it bagseed?

ive grown white rhino for a while and they are def not fluffy! first off what light are you using? also those are no where near ready, there still a good 4 weeks left on them judging by the way the white hairs are standing straight out like that, the shape of that plant looks like either 12/12 from seed or a very short veg time? so the plant proberly wasn't mature when you flicked the lights to 12/12 so even though 8 weeks has passed in 12/12 its more like only 4 weeks of flower! rhinos put the most weight on in the last couple of weeks so dont chop early, the buds should end up rock hard with most of those white hairs going orange/browny red,

Jeez I thought they looked pretty good unless that space is like only 3 feet tall...lol. harsh... My plants are @ 3 week sof flower and I thought they looked average and they don't have anywhere near that much...

It kinda looks like you have had light getting to them in the dark times...and light leak will cause the buds to stretch out because they are trying to kinda still grow up instead of out...

I've seen that bunk bud formation before. It's shit genetics I would guess. Seed plant, right? Where'd the bean come from?

You won't harvest anything worth the power that light is consuming. Stop. Start over.

Yeah I have received clones from dispensaries that were wacktastic and formed buds just like that. He could be on to something.

Yup, it's not the grower or the grow conditions, either. That plant would have come out like shit regardless.

I agree with robsterb, those look like they aren't even close to 8 weeks... the pic in my avatar is 3 weeks and yours don't look much further along than that. They have several weeks to go so dnt trip just be patient and keep feedin them girls and they should fatten up real nice. Good luck to ya.

I swear I wish I had some pics of blue dream clones I grew this last harvest they came out light weight, fluffy , and formed buds just like the dudes pic.

I had a similar experience with a bad Blackberry Kush clone. Nothing but huge ass hairs. Airy bunk. Same fuckin' thing with a Master Kush seed I grew way back in the day. That same stacking, skinny formation with nothing but hairs and no bulk. That's why it's so important to find reliable genetics before going through all the labor of a grow.

100% true... I have gotten so much wack shit from shady dispensaries I learned my lesson. Shit they sold me black berry kush clones that were cut in flower when I started to feed them nutes under the T5 they started growing weird and showed hairs.

I've grown plants that demonstrate that same trait but nothing to that extent.
One plant is currently growing - Nirvana Black Jack.
Had a Nirvana Aurora Indica do the same thing (turned out to be the most potent plant in the crop). Again not nearly as severe as what your pics show but it was like I had little finger buds growing off of each main bud. Good dope though. Grow it out and see what you get.
Good Luck

Sure it just hasn't felt like eight weeks?

They look like buds at 3-4 weeks -- not just in terms of size, but just overall appearance. You're 100% sure you've got your dates right and there isn't a timer screwing up or something?

agree with jin^ genetics are the are the biggest limiting factor, if you already know how to keep a plant healthy.


and that tent looks empty, is it only one plant in there or what? you shouldnt be able to see the floor, anywhere you can is wasting light and electricity, and YOUR MONEY
