Eliden brings some good info to the table, they could just be stalled out. I was thinking along the lines of dropping temps and cutting watering but am not sure if that’s a good idea or not.

It is a good idea, for late flower you want lower temps and when theyre almost done or done they dont drink as much and you dont want high humidity with tight or big buds because mold. Anything that helps them realize in what "season" they are is good. Like Chucky said, thats an indoors thing because outdoors they already get the memo from the sun. Less hours of light, the sunlight gets dimmer, its colder, etc...
Lower temps in late flower are more than anything to avoid moldy buds if you have big buds and to preserve the terpenes better but it will also give them information on how much time they have left.

I have an OG Kush started for my outdoor season. Is yours really small? Mine is doing good but just seems tiny. I will keep this updated as my time goes on.

Yes mine were small but they will get larger. Key is keeping them trimmed with LST.

Good for you man glad you got this one done. My spare bedroom looks alot like yours at times with the hangings LOL. Keep a good eye on those when drying like that, mine take only about 4days of hanging with branches that size. And if the stems don't crack when you bend them but the buds feel dry cut those buds off anyway. I'll use brown paper grocery bags to dry a additional day on the buds. Just a tip from your granny LOL Great job.

Sounds like a great idea. I overdried my outside weed last year.

Well I'm disappointed. 98% of the buds are fluff. I maybe had 5 buds that had any density to them. I don't know what I did wrong. Doesn't light have allot to do with tight buds?
The high is kind of nice but not overwhelming. The buds smell like a gassy pine tree which is nice. Anyway I hope next time goes better. So wasteful it seems. All that time and energy for something mediocre.

Im sorry man, but dont be discaouraged it happens. I had two massive plants once, 2 of the biggest I ever had, then to my surprise the buds were all fluf and I got excited for nothing, didnt taste like anything, didnt get you very high. They were healthy too, to this day I dont know if I did something wrong or it was the seeds because it was 2 out of 2 plants. Could have been the seeds? Are they from a reputable source?
Also that strain should be, according to online sources, fruity, nutty and sweet. Sometimes botrytis can give you that pine, dry leaf taste, or sometimes its just sap in the buds (yes, weed can produce sap too but its not common). Are they brownish inside? Sometimes a bit of botrytis can creep in and if its only a bit its very smokable, sometimes you dont even notice, but it can be there.
What do you think could have gone wrong? Can we go through your set up again? I dont remember many things since Im in several threads and its been a while since Ive been in the forums.

Also if you can give the parameters you had in mid-late flower that would be asome too. Temps, humidity, distance of potency of the lights, what lights, PH, dosage of nutes and what nutes if any, etc...

I have a 450-watt light. 6-inch exhaust and 2 oscillating fans. I know for most of flower my vpd was between 1 to 1.5. My temps ranged from about 65 to 74. I tried to keep humidity at 45% to 50%. My nutes are Gaia Green. I followed a monthly regimen of what it called for. I gave them kelp with every watering. I gave them some molasses a few times. That's about it.

Everything seems fine, what model is that light? Perhaps a bit too far away but I would need to check the specifications. Maybe it was the seeds, what bank are they from? Im not gonna slander any bank but even the best banks have some weak strains and I wanna look into the reviews of that particular one.

Well either that strain doesnt manage stress well or the genetics of the seller are not on point. 20 weeks for airy buds is criminal. I went through all the posts of the thread and they seemed to be healthy. If anything a couple of leaves were showing a couple of signs of nute umbalance but nothing serious. Could have been caused by stress. Did you do the defoliations in one session every 1-2 weeks? Or did you keep cutting leaves here and there every few days? Also its weird that its so purple and the pic in the site shows them green. Many purple strains dont show purple when the temperatures are not low enough but its weird as hell, usually the ones that do they show as purple.
EDIT: When I say purple I mean any shades of blue or red. When its very saturated can look black but it isnt.

back in the saddle I will be. Next run will be autos. Thanks Eledin for all your research and time. I also don't believe the coloration of the buds was normal. Buds that were horizontal to the light looked like the pic online. Something just didn't work.

Things that can make that happen when is not strain related:
1. Fungal disease.
2. Magnessium deficiency (red stems)
3. General nutrient intake issue, usually due to PH or a lack of a micro nutrient in the feeding.
4. Stress. When they get stressed some strains create anthocyanins which are the same pigments of purple strains. After that it will also start showing signs of deficiencies.
