Im just curious, yesterday my girlfriend went to see a crop and brought me a sample of his jackherer. Im curious he told her that he sprays his plants with this spray which makes his nugs more compact and beautiful. I remenber once on the internet i saw a spray that like some kind of steroid for the plants. Would you guys have any clue about this. Im planning to buy wtv he was putting on his plants. I dont want my weed to be all fluffy
Any one ear about a spray that make your nug compact while grow?

Damn braver than me, sending your girl to another grow? I don't keep my wife locked up or anything but if she told me she was going to some guys (grow, house, etc) without me, i would freak the fuck out!
Dense buds are best accomplised with a combination of killer genetics, tons of lighting (good penetration lighting like a 1000 watt in a Hydrofarm Radiant hood) and optimal environmental conditions. You shouldn't have to spray anything on your buds to make them dense. I do not spray anything on my plants ever, but have never seen a denser bud than has come out of my garden.

LOL by the way the other grow, its a girlfriend of mine house. I couldn't be there last night so she went i mean nothing can go wrong. Im not dumb
So right now im using a 1000 watt light in a pretty big grow tent. I just switch my plants to 12/12 but my plant are looking great buds didnt start growing yet. But like you said if i have a good light my bud should be strong!

No i said great genetics, great light, great environment will end in great buds, just the lighting is not enough, the genetics need to be there too. Out of my last run i had one plant that stayed around 2 1/2 foot (hashberry) and one that hit over 5 feet tall (NYCD) the nycd had a cola bud as long as my forearm, the hashberry only had about a 10" cola. The hashberry yeilded more than the nycd, because the genetics were great and made for ultra dense buds, the nycd were very airy, due entirely to bad genetics.
O and the girlfriend comment was more about her deciding she likes him/his garden more than me, not a whole lot of self-esteem over here lol.

I agree 100% from my personal experience. I have a perpetual grow that I run different strains through almost constantly.
Clones rooted at the same time, grown in the exact same environments from different strains and even phenotypes within a particular strain will be different.
Also dont put a lower yielding strain or phenotype out of your mind. In my grow I currently have Pure Ak from Female seeds. The plant that had the lowest yield was by far the best out of the package. A different pheno from the others that is completely crusted in trichomes and has a hint of cherry taste and smell. I cloned all 4 that i grew and kept the clones from that 1 plant. It yields a little less but there is a serious jump in the quality of buzz, taste and smell.
I never spray anything on my plants when they are flowering, only in vegetative stage; never in flowering. It invites mold and all kinds of other problems.

In my experience, keeping the night (lights off) temps closer to the daytime (lights on) temps produces tighter internoded plants.
I grew the same strain for a while, then read an article in HighTimes guessing about 12-15 years ago about keeping the two temps closer would create tighter, more compact plants.
I applied this theory over the course of a few more grows and I did notice a substantial difference.
For example.....
73 degrees F during lights on, and 68-70 F during lights off: Tighter, stockier plants, denser nugs.
73 degrees F during lights on, and say 65 or lower during lights off: Plants had more stretching between internodes, and the buds were a little more fluffy.
I can't remember the exact explanation, or biology of it.....never was good with that stuff. But I did notice a difference.
