Can you think of a way to measure bud density so I can compare test to control buds?Then also the fact that it's plausible the slight reduction in size can be offset by a change in density. Often seen when grown under a more blue leaning spectrum tighter denser buds.

My only thought would be accurate weight before a water displacement type scenario. Or maybe vegetable oil would be better? Something that does not enter the cell via osmosis?
I don't know what that is. Got a link?a caliper that measures tension?

Can do, I have a freeze drier that works perfect for that.Dry them to 100% and just measure plant mass?

But how do I measure the difference in density of 2 dissimilar buds in both shape and size? And what about all those nooks and crannies inside?
Here is the question - If the bud under UV stops getting larger but the internal density goes up maintaining the same weight as a bud that is continuing to get visually larger.
OK, I'm picking up what you are laying' downIf the buds are the same size and one weighs more when fully dried, it's denser, right?

Bud A - UV Side ~ weighs 25 grams wet --> 5 grams dry
Bud B - No UV ~ weighs 25 grams wet --> 5 grams dry.
So same density? Maybe, but density also needs a unit of volume in the mix. So how do I make sure the buds are the exact same volume?
Density = Mass/volume
Maybe with the 3D laser imaging system that you have next to the exact replica of Neal Peart's drum kit?
A small beaker and something dry and grainy. Sand? Maybe too dense. Rice? Cous cous?So same density? Maybe, but density also needs a unit of volume in the mix. So how do I make sure the buds are the exact same volume?

That could actually work. I've got this silica 60 I use in my column - it is very precise in the size of the crystals and is incredibly fine.A small beaker and something dry and grainy. Sand?
I was thinking about this and i think you would want to mix in some of the measured silica (maybe 30 mL or so), then the bud, then the remaining silica. That way it doesn't smash against the bottom.That could actually work. I've got this silica 60 I use in my column - it is very precise in the size of the crystals and is incredibly fine.
A bud in a beaker. Throw on top a known amount of silica. Vibrate. Measure.
Fukkin genius.
I love this place.
Now the question is how do I get the sand out so I can smoke it?
Water displacement would probably be the best way imoCan you think of a way to measure bud density so I can compare test to control buds?
