No, but there's a couple people here that are, :lol:.

Did you let them fully mature first? Early picked buds won't be as dense.

Still growing... I have no idea why ONE PLANT always gets leaves like this in the last stages!!! All I use is Megacrop and well water...20220514_100657.jpg

Sometimes just happens. I had a Tangerine Dream that was a bit fluffy that was literally right next to another that had really solid compact buds...all in the same tent. Couldn't even blame hotter summer temperatures since it was a fall/winter grow that topped out at about 85f.

I had the same experience with Tangerine Dream, fluffy strain.

@OP
Looks like heat & light stress to me. Also possibly nitrogen burn judging the leaves burnt tips and downward claw effect. If you're not running co2 its a waste of money to run super high PPFD. The plants are not going to be able to keep up.

Temperature is only 81... I never turn my lights all the way up, at the most 75 percent... I think that it's the water that's making my leaves look like that because my plants didn't look like that before I moved to this place...

I only say that because the Taco effect on the leaves. Maybe it's something else, just my first guess looking at it. You're growing with LEDs right?

And its pretty far from the light... That plant is a bush,it's not really that tall... I'd show you but lights are out...

I mean the leaves are tacoing and that is a tell tale sign of light stress, the leaf is literally curling inwards to prevent light from hitting it. That is a heavy stressor on plant performance.

Are you letting the pots runoff at all and are you feeding every time with megacrop? I believe if I remember correctly that stuff gets super acidic if your not frequently watering them with it like daily.

Megacrop is very salty stuff that will require runoff and possibly even flushings later on just to rinse out excess salt buildup. My buddy ran that stuff in black smart pots and they were white at the end of the grow all around the bottoms. Looked like road ice melt salt in the drain trays too..

It could just be that plant being stubborn though, some plants I've grown are too finicky and I end up tossing them if they can't handle my setup.

Airy buds turn right into butter

This is why we pheno-hunt! For instance, I just ran a whole pack of beans. Dinafem ocean grown cookies. I kept the plant with the densest, terpiest, stickiest buds. The other 4 were good, but discontinued. Just keep popping beans until you find one in the pack that shines

I always water to runoff, every other day or twice a day if needed, I have a reservoir with an air stone that I feed from, I have never ph'd my water though because most times there's only one plant that acts up,as I have shown... Megacrop is definitely salty, but so is General Hydroponics for that matter!!! I don't know, but I won't let that stop me from growing!!! I'll figure this out eventually... Thanks for the guidance for sure though!!! Wise men become more wise by listening to people who are wiser than them!!!
