Fatter or denser nugs come with time. Like the poster above said, you will find out that the grow time on your seed pack is dogshit. I had a sweet afgani delicious f1 strain which is supposed to be a fast flower photoperiod and it was fast to flower but ended up going like 15 maybe even 19 weeks without any signs we should chop it so I got antsy and chopped it. The top buds were dense and nice but the bottoms were airy and fluffy.
Next time dont defoliate like your an indoor grower, your outdoors so only the lower half or fan leaves that cover top sites need taken away. I used microbe life fruit and yield enhancer for bigger buds and some kelp/seaweed to provide sillica.
Thanks I have another baby growing now I have a lil nice size outdoor space so I'm going to see how big I can get her LoL thanks and I'll keep u postedImo you way over did it on defoliation! But besides that...
Fat buds has a lot to do with genetics...some strains just dont get big. However dense buds have a lot more to do with light (tho there are other factors as well)
3rd point is you have to let the plant actually come to full ripeness.... many new growers dont and they chop because they are impatient or they chop early because of (breeder times) posted on the seed packs.
There is no magic cure for these things found in a bottle. Most of these things comes from getting several grows under your belt and educating yourself through lots and lots of reading.
Good luck
Ok thanks on my next babies I'm going to jus let them thrive and see how big I can get her I got a nice space I'll keep you posted thanksFatter or denser nugs come with time.

Yes, the strain is a huge factor....even with a great light....but a great light is very important if you want dense buds. It took me years of trying different strains before i found a few that were great, with dense nuggets. Then I lost them due to powdery mildew and I am back to square one, with about 6-8 different strains going right now to hopefully find 1-2 great ones again.Imo you way over did it on defoliation!

Ahh yes... denser bigger bugs are definitely prone to their problems for sure! Mold resistant strains is as important for outdoor growers as almost anything else.Yes, the strain is a huge factor....even with a great light....but a great light is very important if you want dense buds.

Any tips on how to be make my buds more dense this is my 2nd grow..I jus started beastie bloomz a week ago so waiting on results...thanks I'll let you Kno my progress...and show my other babies
Thanks hon... the sun is changing where I have her...time for TRANSPORT WITH a cart till harvest! I will follow the sun!Less magic potions, more sun.
Like any other crop, make nature work for you by relying more on the power of the sun, and the process that allows cannabis to do what it does in the fall season, and less on marketed bottles that claim top shelf results.
The sun accounts for much of what becomes thick, dense buds. Genetics equally contribute to that end result. Keep your plants healthy and happy, naturally, and they will respond by producing the best they can, based on their genetic ceiling.
