Hi! Can airy buds happen from overwatering(i read some articles and i think this might be my problem)? Also, is this fixable or once they become airy they are doomed?

All buds start out airy. They get denser and fuller till they are done.

I mean airy as a problem. They’ve gone through some things i can’t explain as the rest of the plants are great. This is why i’m trying to find the answer. I don’t think this is how a 6 week in flower should look like and this is my first grow….

The problems started with some rust spots, i came to the conclusion that’s a cal def, but trying to heal her i’ve burnt it. But these airy buds are before the problems and their pistils were all dead. Now that i gave her calcium new pistils are growing but idk why they started growing like this in the first place…

Looks like N toxicity. Note the dark green leaves and waxy appearance. Look at the clawing and cupping of the leaves and how as the toxicity moves to late stages the leaves begin to yellow and die. Your other plant looks pretty high in N as well but must be tolerating it better or receiving less.

Too much N will also cause light airy buds and impact potency.

From the vegging stage? Because the nutes i gave in flower had very little N

And is there something I can do about it? I will let her dry a bit as i think i overwatered and she’s not eating well too and honestly i really want to save her

Soil mix with perlite, worm castings, etc

It should fill out more but the plant health looks less than ideal.

Ah, yeah if you're in soil with amendments it's possible the plant never needed additional nutrients after veg and thus any added N would be excess leading to toxicity. If you're open to constructive criticism you can post what your grow is and all the details.

If you adjust you can probably limp in to a harvest but it will be less than ideal. Better options in my mind would be to reveg or to monster crop the entire plant, if it's a photo of course.

Of course, this is why i’m posting for 2 weeks trying to find out what i’m doing wrong but tell me exactly what to mention as i just started growing them in the end of december and there are so many new terms as english isn’t my first language

Yep, i have three photos in:
Og kush-the one with problems that was the bushiest and most promising ons
Barbara kush-kind of neglected in terms of lst and pretty tall but has the biggest buds
Whidak 47-the smallest but very healthy
i got the seeds from a cbd shop as “souvenirs” found them online( Latitude sur Seeds) and gave it a try as i always wanted. I still need to buy a lot of stuff i don’t find here and i don’t want to order online as it’s pretty dangerous

Ah, yeah I didn't know you'd ever posted before. We're a pretty big community here but nice to meet you, wish it were better circumstances. The course of action is up to you and you're choices are;
Revegetation- turn it back to a long light period 16 to 24 hours of light and it will grow new branches, leaves straight out of the buds, and can be regrown and nursed back to health, and flowered again later.
Monster crop- similar concept to above but you clip all the branches and clone them, and return them to 24hr light and each clone will then grow a whole new plant.
-or-
Leave it and try to nurse it to harvest- this is where you'd just try to correct the nutrient problem and let it finish. This is my least favorite opinion because it may not result in good bud. When a plant is in flower and struggling it impacts the growth, and potency. Since the plant is at the end of it's life cycle it won't try to get better but rather just try to survive in hopes of offspring.
Your best bet to a good harvest from that plant would be to "restart it". Since you have photoperiod plants it's definitely an option. Do you have space to separate it from the plants that are doing better?
