Challange: Finished Buds are too fluffy and or too airy, not dense enough. Some say the buds are not consistant throughout the elbow. The smell is there, tricombs are there, smoke quality is super powerful and knocks you the F out for 8 to 9 hours on some patients. But the bud density isnt there. They want rocks and their not hard enough for some peeps. The dense bud is nice but looks like somebody crushed it or compressed it somehow during the growing or drying and curing process. When I look at the tricombs on the dense product through the microscope they all look crushed and or smashed perhaps tumbled. Not sure for sure. No milk in the dense bud, no amber at all just clear tricombs. It's smokes excellent and some of my friends absolutely love it big time. Here are a few sample pictures. It's the last bud I have right now as a sample to showcase for this topic.
My OG Kush shown smokes killer and wallops like a freight train. The tricombs are on the money but the hardness is not there.
The pictures arent that great but its the best I could get you with the camera I have. Hope the pictures tell the story.
Here are the fast facts:
Indoor Grow Room Sealed Enviroment.
CO2 Burner: 1500 PPM LP.
3 Ton Air Conditioning Frost Box with UV light.
1000 W HPS Bulbs with Adjust A Wings
67 degrees night time temp
80 degree day time temp
100% Canna Coco Medium drain to waste
Heavy 16 Base
Big Bud through week 6
Hammer Head & Moab week 7 and 8
Final Phase
Straight R/O to less than 100 PPM run off flush
Some say I'm not using my CO2 correctly. Some say the light isn't intense enough, some say not enough wind movement in the grow room. Some say I need to kill the CO2 the last 2 weeks when Im flushing. Some say I need to raise the temp during the day to 80-90 degrees with my CO2 Burner, Some say its a genetic thing. Some say I need to defoliate more from week 5 to the finish, some say it's the nutrients, Some say its the way im drying and curing them. WTF? Clients want the dense and rock hard buds and thats what they will get. Your expert advice on harding up my buds is most appreciated. Take a peek and let me know what Im doing wrong in my process. Im open to your suggestions and have my ears and eyes open :bong-hits:
