Tips to make bud more fluffy?

i've never understood why some people prefer the fluffy stuff, but some strains have a poor leaf to bud ratio that results in buds on the fluffy side even with superb lighting. the sharksbreath i just grew is a prime example. the stone is nice but the buds only weigh about 80% of what similar sized buds of other strains weigh, and it is fluffier when broken up, but mainly because it's on the leafy side even well trimmed. i'm going through it quicker than the other strains i harvested just because i have to use more to fill a joint or whatever. not sure if that's what you meant but there you have it.

pick it at 5 or 6 weeks and it will be fluffy

people have no clue what nice weed is. there is a world a dank past your crusty hard ass buds. fluffy dont mean leafy fluffy dont mean the nug is invisible, fluffy doesnt mean no thc. People have no clue what it is to pack a bowl with out manhandling a flower. Its a bag of flowers not a bag of rocks. the best buds are fluffy, dont let people/idiots miss interpret the word like they aint never seen the weed, sucks for them out in grinderville

in your opinion,but not mine.i love hard dense bud full of resin.

no not my opinion. thats fluffy factual. me saying i like it is my opinion. stating facts of fluffy is not opinion. to the op- heres one more idiot, see what they do, in my last post i say factually that fluffy does not mean lack of thc, which is true. Then this idiot feels the need to say "i love rock hard bud full of resin". That is what is your opinion. Rock hard doesnt = resin, it equals dense plant matter, fact. People have not smoked enough to give them anysort of valuable opinion, and are talking out there ass- most likely about another aspect of weed that they like..aka.. resin content, taste, high, ect. (watch them do it, its is impossible to defend density with out involving these other aspects, otherwise mexican weed would be better after being bricked down as it is now "denser")

Teehee

Personally i manhandle my weed regardless of type, because i have an intention of enjoying my smoke, that is to say not smoking a bowl of stalks As to defending density, it is naturally dense, not a bunch of buds compressed together. I would be willing to bet there is a higher bud to stalk ratio in a denser bud where all the weight has packed in around the stalk.

you actually said THE BEST BUDS ARE FLUFFY.i disagreed.because that is YOUR opinion and not mine.
when i have dense bud it is packed full of resin to the point where certain parts of the bud is rock hard and tastes almost like pure hash.

Give them the popcorn stuff on the bottom of the plant and keep the top for you. Or less light/more heat?

i always recented paying for fluffy bud as i was getting alot of stalk as opposed to the flower and dense heavy wood in your little baggy weighs alot

mind u i use to smoke soap bar aged 25 what do i know

This is hilarious, people hear the word "fluffy" and automatically start screaming "Garbage!!" totally understandable. but i believe what the op is actually looking for is a plant with a higher leaf to calyx ratio. if denser buds had inherently higher resin contents why are most hash producing strains on the leafier side? think about this it is the trichomes that contain most of the psychoactive compounds. a larger more open flower has more exposed surface area to develop trichomes.

not talkin stems there are none but the smallest in the final product.... go ahead and talk about weight now

Yup, fruitrollup allright

If the stems are the smallest in the final product, well then it's probably not the biggest product every strain i've grown bought and seen, the stem size is pretty much directly proportional to the bud size.

light leakes and week bulbs 250 mh or less

i have a theory on fluffy buds, some people prefer them because they think they are getting more for their money as compact buds weigh more than the fluffier stuff and so the bags appear to hold more for their money???? other than appearance i don't really see the difference as long as they weigh the same don't get me wrong i'd prefer compact top cola as apposed to the fluffier stuff from lower down on the plant but that's my preference, my suggestion would be to maybe look at different strains rather than changing the way you grow to produce fluffier stuff because as tip top pointed out ideally you want to grow healthy plants and not deliberately lower standards after all you drop conditions to produce fluff up top what will happen to the fluff on the bottom???? maybe a sativia dominant hybrid would work well for??????

personally, i couldnt care less if its fluffy or not as long as i get the weight i payed for. around here we almost allways mix the weed with tobacco, and the fluffy type is harder to grind down.
thats about it

I dont know enough to tell the OP what to do, but I have had some of this "fluffy" stuff before, its killer shit. its not like its not had eenough light, or inferior pot at all its like a type of pot and you just get nice lil popcorn type nugs that dont need to be manhandled to smoke.

I love the shit but havent smoked any in like seven years. that being said the shit I just harvested is compact as fuck, and I like it this way.

I think as stated before you need a bud with more leaf structure I guess.

and it does make it look like Marty McFatsacks is your dealer, usually has no stems or stalks, just lil lovely nuggets of bud like a lil bag of happiness.
