Average temps were right around 73 during the day maybe as high as 78 on hot days and like 58 at night but it did get as low as 43 on those super cold rainy nights we had but it didn't happen too often. Average was definitely 73/58. RH was pretty stable. Almost always between 48%-52%.Genetics loads the gun, environment pulls the trigger. It's definitely both, to a limit.
Your buds look great. Do what you can to gain control over your environment since you said that is a potential issue. What were your average day/night temps/humidities?
More light could help, what did you use for this run?
Just remember that what you see at the dispo is their A-grade buds, anything that doesn't meet the cut goes into joints or heads into extraction. What you see on the shelves is just a portion of the overall harvest.
I got a 1500 watt cob LED for under 100.$ and after my first run with it I'm a happy camper.Average temps were right around 73 during the day maybe as high as 78 on hot days and like 58 at night but it did get as low as 43 on those super cold rainy nights we had but it didn't happen too often.

I definitely needed more light. No question about that. I was using a ViparSpectra "300" watt LED with a couple of dinky amazon lights for supplemental lighting. The 300 was almost enough as the buds closest to the center of the light where super chunky, dense, soda can sized buds but everything below the canopy and on the outsides of the plants could have been better. I'm adding a second one of those lights for this next run and i'm thinking it should be enough for my 2x2X5 tent. I only grew 1 plant last time and i plan to do 2 this time if i can pull it off but 2 will be my max.
I wish i could run HPS but i just can't afford the power consumption because its absolutely necessary to have to run the AC with it. I can get away without running an AC most days using the LED's and they consume less power so they're more within budget for me.
So I don't know that you did anything wrong. Yes environment and genetics play a part, but also the commercial weed harvesting process plays a role. No matter what they'll say about that.
One they would trim those buds about 1/8th inch in more. Literally cut them into shape, no worry for anything that protrudes, the trim all goes to concentrates anyway.
Two they cut like 10 pounds at a time and throw it in bins or piles and transport to drying. This compaction right at harvest actually squishes them pretty tight and its not like they fluff back up when they're all sticky. of course that will get debated.
but try it. When you harvest let it all pile up in a tote and take it to hang or trim if thats how you do. notice the dispensary quality of the bud in the bottom of the tote... Another way to make dispensary weed, use an auto trimmer, roller bin sifter, any of those things make smaller rounder buds. They only take the big ones of those and the rest gets concentrated.
I think your buds are actually better the homegrown way. At least the trichs are still on the outside of your buds!
In 25+ years I’ve never known there to be a “typical” but shape or look. Many factors contribute to this, especially the strain. Yours look to be some sort of OG strain if I took a guess. Those “uniform round buds” are just trimmed that way for bag appeal aka more $$$ lol
1500 watt draw of power from the electrical outlet? Or was the $100 a typo and should have been $1000?I got a 1500 watt cob LED for under 100.$ and after my first run with it I'm a happy camper.
