Ensuring only dense nugs?
- Thread starter smokajoe

anyways I'm wondering I know that genetics effect density of nugs, but like it seems some of my stuff is very airy! While my one indica is really dense, either way what truly made some nugs dense others airy,djlarry502

I was told that colder temp will make your bud denser but i really don't know if this is true.

Your bulb will produce density better in the first half of it's life. Rinsing, (or not rinsing,) the soil before potting gives you the ability to strech the Indicas & hold back the Sativas.........potting soil will have natural & added N which can make the plant bolt out of control.
"Nitrate" N will keep them squat, the other 2 N's will cause them to strech so check the lable cause "Nitrate" N is the most $$$$.....you get what you pay for in nutes. EVERY time we water it releases Nitrogen and makes it available to the plant, if you don't get 25% run-off all the way through flower the plant will suck up that N and elongate the bud. That was fun..........thx!

Dense buds are a product of quite a number of different things. StrainPlant trainingTempsRHCo2Nute strengthI WILL REPEAT THIS ONCE MORE.....MOLASSES DOES NOT MAKE DENSE BUDS. Some of the carbohydrates are absorbed by the plants roots however most of what molasses actually does feed is contained in the Rhizosphere of the plants root system. Within this rhizosphere are good fungi and bacteria that live in symbiosis with the plants. Molasses helps to feed these fungi and bacteria which convert decaying root matter into useable elements for the plants. J

Light density+ proper ventilation=dense buds. This guy is really smart he has good info https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/360125-weed-science-ebook-download.html
edit: also try out subcools super soil!!

Genetics plays a huge part. Other factors could be the amount of light the plant receives and the overall health of the plant.

light(intensity and penetration), phosphorous, light natural sugars(too much molasses impedes oxygen intake in the root zone.) and a good micro herd in the rhyzo. as previously stated. IMO these are some of the main contributing factors.

i run a 600 watt in a 4x4 with a 435 cfm fan exhausting the light. mine is 12 inches from the canopy no burn ever

So I'm thinking, if one were to pull the lights away from the plants a little during flowering, they might produce less dense buds which are bigger for the weight than dense buds. This might be good for sales...at least the first time. LOL. I don't sell so this doesn't matter to me, unless I'm buying.

Use bud candy it makes just about any strain alot more dense.
just remember every foot your losing 100 watts, so if it's 4 feet away your losing 400 watts, on average, it just depends how hot it runs, I used a raptor hood and I was able to have the plants touching the glass because I was cooling it so there was no heat issue.
Mainly buds don't get dense because they didn't receive enough light, always ensure they got enough so you don't get airy ones.
