i was wondering what tricks and methods people have to getting dense nugs. i have yet to get my nuggets as dense as i would like. i have a 250 watt hps. ive heard of molasses and know how that works, i was thinking more along the lines of a good nutrient or something.

wattage is real important for dense nugs. i use also gravity by humbolt countys own, its a flower hardner and it work great for me.

I was going to say gravity also although I havent used it yet I have heard great things about it. I ordered mine off ebay last week for $21.99 for 8oz. Kind of expensive but hopefully the results are worth it :hump:

take the top third of your plant and tie it so its bend over. do this to everything, you want to lower your canopy. you can lower your light closer now, if you can hold you hand at canopy hieght without it getting too hot its okay. now take anything on the botton half and cut it off, you want to be able to see right thru the stems. with lower wattage lights you get poor light penetration so eliminating this growth will concentrate the plants efforts elswhere.

Getting dense nugs comes from a variety of things. Giving ur plants optimum growing conditions, letting them reach full maturity, and lastly, type of strain ur growing. U r more likely to get nugs from plants with an Indica background than a Sativa. LOL

if your only doing one plant then drop that hps right on top of the plant with a fan blowing across it on low, light is the key to dense nugs, without enough light you will never get tight nugs, thats why the little buds on the bottom of the plant are less dense

If you want dense bud, Ide would make sure that i first had a good strain, lots of light ( hps ) And some good flowering nutes.
