My guess is you had airy bud. It is drying to nothing. Bigger light maybe? I looked at your 2nd grow in your sig. You had a flood light and some cfls. Did you ever upgrade your light?

Yep.....you get out what you put in. Bums me out to see disappointed people, but hopefully it's a lesson learned about getting the right gear.

u ppl keep saying flood light but if u look closely u will see it is a cfl bulb made for outdoor use is called a par and no i was not satisfied with that first grow so i spent some money on lights and some other goodies like real nutes and seen a better yield on the next 2 plants this is the 3rd and things have gone down hill. plant looked just as good as the last to even better but now that the bud is drying its turning into nothing . so if there is some one out there who would like to help please HELP

How far away are you keeping your lights? What kinda nutes did you use in your flower stage? Is it indica or sativa?

i am keeping the lights about 4 or 5 inches away same goes for the side lighting . I was using fox farm tigerbloom , big bloom ,and super bloom plus i gave it fish poop for a nitro boost, gave it that for to long i think though . also gave it bud candy after i show that it was a female. i think it was a indica but not sure. was a seed from some kush i got from a friend

How long did it flower? Had it goten swollen or did it get cut early. Big swing in temps will sometimes hurt the yield...ph steady?

I think your problem is too lil nitrogen during the flower phase, yes you want more p but its still all about balance! without enough nitro the leaf matter itself will start decaying almost from the inside out. With your next grow i would add 1/3 more n during your flower phase and see if that doesnt give you a huge boost in density.

it flowered for 2 months 1 week ,and yes it swol up real big and nice and did not cut it early. did have some big temp changes but not real fast. the biggest temp change was when it when the temp outside when up about 20 degrees i a week but i control the box temp real well it didn't change more than 5 degrees in one day up or down. i kept the water and nute ph steady but currently have no way to test my soil

Lemme ask you this then, what is the temp of the room at night? i would recommend seeing a drop of 10-15F than during the lights on time

Sounds like one of two things. You need more light or you dried it too fast. Did you leave the bud on the stem while drying? Because the stem will retain moisture and will help to dry slow and if you were to do it without the stem the buds will dry real fast if the buds are small thus you lose density.

i left it on the stems hanging only been about 3 days now drying . but for the light suggestion i starting to think i will have to move up to a hps light to get the bud i want

my temp at night has been about 78F in the box goes up to 85F before i turn on the a/c . i run my lights at night to take advantage of the cool air ,and helps me keep temps from changing too much from lights on to lights off
