Ok so i just cut down my second grow last night of white widow. Now when i did my 1 st grow my bud did'nt come out so great, because after i dried my bud it looked all wirey and loose. I came here and so one told me my dry room was too hot. So this time i around i said fuck drying it on hangers in closet or whatever, so i stuck all the bud in 3 containers and put it in the refrigarator. That was last night, and what happened when i opened the containers today? Fuck shit looks the same as it did from my 1st grow, its looking over dried, wirey, and loose! WTF what am i doing wrong?

Lose fluffy buds? I blame that on the growing, not the drying....

Did you use CFLs?

It can be decieving. When you cut it it'll look fatter and more compact because it's all swolen with water. Once that's gone, you'll know weather you've actually got dense or fluffy buds.

So is that it?, there's nothing i can do? Does this affect the potency?

The best way to end up with tight, fat nugs, is to grow them.

High intensity light, proper feedings of good nutrients, the right strain, and letting your buds fully ripen and plump are the ways to do that.

If you want your wispy buds to be tight, squash them. But I would say don't sweat it. Just focus on making the next grow that much better.

If you water 12 hours before harvesting, your bud's will contain more moisture, and thus, dry slower.

No, it shouldnt.

Dont worry about it, the buds still gunner be as nice as it was when you harvested - fuck what it looks like, its how stoned it gets you what matters.
