How to get nice tight dense buds?Iv read genetics temperature?Any real that have been growing for years have any info?
u need a low Humidity 30 35
Relative humidity is the last environmental factor for me to control, and I hadn't planned on trying to reduce RH in my room (too costly out here).You need light but temps should be kept in check as well as humidity. You can run temps 10-15 degrees higher with CO2 but you still need humidity to be lower for harder buds. Some of it is also in the genetics but proper care and control still plays the biggest part.
How about a nutirent along the lines of kool bloom powder, gravity, or overdrive. OD and KB in the last 2 weeks before flush always make my buds rock hard. Use one or the other though, dont combine them.
There's a few different things that help with strain density. Strain is the number one thing. Some strains just aren't that dense. To make sure a dense strain stays dense (IME) you need to:
Keep your temps in check, possibly drop them in the last couple weeks of flower. Hot rooms will give you airy buds.
Make sure the budsites are getting light. Low light means airy, larfy nugs.
Proper use of a quality bloom booster/pk additive will harden em up as well
I heard using high co2 in the last few weeks of flower will keep em from tightening up also..
