heres some of my depo still got couple weeks no fluff here30-40% more trics than most indoor.

Ed Rosenthal has mentioned that outdoor bud flowered during the height of summer receives a better quality of light spectrum to produce more of the happiness we're looking for than bud flowered outside in late summer / fall.

Your buds may be demonstrating what Ed was talking about. Nice job!

Agreed, bud shape and density does seem to have some kind of relationship to strain / pheno.

Is there any fertilizer (macro or micro component) that you think helps buds get closer to their density potential ? Like adding X or curtailing X during any phase of flowering ?
Our crew is doing something new this season, micro-dosing with 4-26-26 bloom fertilizer at every watering. A neighbor did it last year and his nuggs were amazing....

Interesting. A few years back, I used Jacks Classic for awhile and did something similar.

Rather than large dose interval feeding we fed a much smaller portion at each watering. I don't think we did it solely with the intention of increasing bud density though, it was mostly to accommodate two parties alternating the watering so we wouldn't screw up the feeding and burn the fuck out of them or starve them. "You fed them too much!" "You didn't feed them enough!"

With the micro dosing, I gather that the idea is to make sure the plant never wants for bloom nutes, but is also never overwhelmed with bloom nutes to the point of toxicity ? Meaning the girls consume the nutes in between each feeding and want more by the next watering.

How do you determine the right amount to micro dose? Wouldn't container size and strain characteristics be a factor?

Do you adjust dosage amount at any point during flowering or is it straight thru until the chop?

using basalt the last couple of years seems like it helped me, or maybe its a placebo

This is their first season trying this. They were following what a neighbor did with great success last season. I think they are using 1/4 dose fertilizer at every watering. I will let you know after harvest but it looks really good right now.

what ever u say bud.low light to much shade= fluffy buds outdoor!
you are wrong, high heat during flower is what causes fluffy buds,it's called basic horticulture bud, the flowers become fluffy to protect the interior of the buds and dissapate heat, there is no reason for flower to get fluffy in cooler temps. where did you get this erroneous information?

I get this erroneous info from growing in the bush for 30 yrs an trying lots of different things. I flower plants all summer with highs in the 90s no fluff here?

Are you letting them finish properly. I pulled my first few runs years ago early due to impatience and buds were always fluffy.
