My brother got me freaking out.

Do buds get more compact as they dry?

This is my first harvest, and I am freaking out a little.

The buds I am trimming don't look like the finished product I get from my guy.

Someone please talk me off this ledge!

They wont get more compact as they dry. They'll be about 25% less their original harvest weight. What sort of light did you use? Soil? Flower cycle length?

dry them for a day then squish em with your fingers. repeat for a couple days. unless you have too many to squish, in which case i say to you...quit yer bitchin . seriously though if its just for you then the quality of the high will far outweigh the size of the bud. if your sellin just make sure the weight is right and you shouldnt have a problem.

ps dont squish your buds u lose the overall fluffyness of them! ps when u squish it after its been dryin for a day itll look like brick weed! when the outside of the bud get moist it squishes easy! i made a mistake of leving 2 of my biggest buds i ever grew layin down on a table in my drying for 2 nights cuz i was so tried after trimming and just forgot to hang them up! and i didnt look in their for 2 days and when i looked at them they had flat spots!!!!!! iwas so pissed! but i still got 500 for the both of them 30.7 grams dry!

i mean, a buds a bud, no matter how u look at it, the fluffy buds tho, i perfer a dense bud, i wouldnt squish the buds tho. your effin up the trichomes on there. just make some hash, sell it for what u think its worth, people will pay, they always pay.

agreed. don't squish them, that's a bad idea.

maybe you are harvesting early? Or you used bad lights or some other plant related problem?

lights were 1000w HPS.

Gen Hydro and Botanicare nutes.

I used free seeds for my first grow as a test. Just to work out the bugs andto see if I could do it.

I'm on to my WW now. They are looking amazing!

Thanks for all the replys!
