New to organic, any organic bud hardener’s

This is my first organic grow, and I really like the idea of it. My question is, is there any organic bud hardeners I could use in late flower to help with density? This is a pure power plant that is 70% sativa, and the buds aren’t terribly dense. I’m probably within 2 weeks? Todays day 54 of 12/12. Just trying to see if there’s something else I should do. I’ve used happy frog soil mixed with perlite, and the appropriate amount of happy frog fruit and flower, and top dressed once a month. Also top dressed with worm castings once. Under a new hlg 350r set at the 280w setting. Looks like a little foxtailing going on, so I was afraid to use full power.

I wouldn't recommend a bud hardener. Just do your best to keep the plant healthy and let it express naturally. Foxtailing can be a genetic trait and is not always bad. You can still have awesome weed that has foxtailled.

It looks like you have more than 2 weeks left. Maybe 3-4.
I'm a newbie myself so take that with a grain of salt. So far she is looking good, best of luck!!!

Like mentioned above, just keep her healthy at this point. You have way more than two weeks to go. Almost all of the pistils are snowy white and healthy looking and it's a sativa dominant strain. Don't get in a rush now, the pistils should all be brown and receding back into the stipules. The bud will swell a lot in the last weeks of proper ripening time and the terps will thank you. If you're checking trichomes, check the buds and not just the leaves on the tops. I've had some really potent foxtailed bud, it was a bitch to trim, but potent.

Typical sativa bud structure - Many sativas foxtail .
Your buds will finish more spear shaped . You got time on your hands till finish …. I would bump power up , they look good.

As long as you are having good temp control, sativa will flourish . Sativas are resilient to many different environments.

You might think about dimming your light a little to slow down the fox tailing. If you like at science nerd stuff like Daily Light Integral, weed is supposed to like the most light during week 6 of flowering. Then maybe 10% less after 7 weeks and maybe 10% less than that after week 8.

Your plant is looking good! Don't mess it up with crazy potions so close to the end.

Thanks everyone. I’ll just keep going like I’m going, and see how it turns out. It’s been two weeks since I top dressed with fruit and flower 4-9-3. Should I top dress again in a couple weeks, or let it go from here?
