best products for dense buds?

I was wondering how you get those ultra dense buds, i am currently using botanicare pure blend pro soil formula silica blast and flora necter.I always produce potent buds but they arnt that dense, any advice? oh yea the plant i have is approx. 6 ft tall and has 30 spears not counting the main cola, so i really want to pack on the weight, its a strain called north border kush and i approximate the finishing time at oct. 15th.

Thanks for your help, dankwise

good lights and co2.

doesn't hurt if you throw in a little awesome blossoms into your hydro mix, or switch to puravida all together.. not trying to sound like a technaflora rep, but it's all i use. 1000w hps produces some dense buds.

techna flora's sugar daddy, or molasses depending on your setup

i use sugar daddy, can i add molasses too?

High P Bat Guano NPK in the range of 0-4-0 to 0-7-0 (one tablespoon to a gallon of unchlorinated water), add one ounce of unsulphured mollasses. Feed one quart per plant every 10 days.
.
Also during veggie growth, get a myco fungi product in your soil, like Plant Sucess, Myco Magic, Sub-Culture or Super Plant Tonic. All with work and greatly improve your plant's potential - mining out all the P in the soil and feeding it directly to Mary - while protecting her roots. It's a win / win thing.....
.
Keep it Real...Organic.....because chemically rendered ferts - too easily toxify Mary...

Click to expand...

you can use both if you are in soil, but i wouldnt use molasses in a hydro setup

A late application or 2 of humbolt counties own Gravity, along with the molasses seems to truly add density and mass. It works for me in dirt but i'm sure in hydro the gravity would do well by itself or with sugar daddy. Good Luck

humboldt nutrients big up powder and molasses

The density of buds relies solely on your lighting...period. The size can be affected by ferts and lighting...but density is a lighting thing

Well, you are right AND wrong. The saying "a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link" is applicable. You MUST have adequate lighting to flower dense buds, but if your plant is wanting something it isn't getting from the soil/nutrient solution then THAT will be the limiting factor. If the plant isn't getting sufficient levels of Co2 to it's leaves, THAT will be the limiting factor. If temperature isn't controlled enough, And so on... I believe the number 1 limiting factor for indoor growers is likely lighting.

Lighting can be a double edged sword however especially for smaller indoor grows. Often times people focus so much on the amount of light that they are using and then they are stuck with ops that run in the 90's or even hitting 100 tempswise. Great light will definately help you produce dense buds but if your temps are too high you will end up with fluff no matter how good your lighting is. I recently had a problem with this due to a move and some extra hot weeks around me during the final 3 weeks of flowering. With the lighting the buds should have been very dense but my heat issues were so severe during a very important time in bud development that the weight was just not there. I still produced some terrific smoke don't get me wrong but I'ld estimate I lost 15-20% in yield due almost exclusively to heat and humidity issues (we also had some incredible storms which lead to some flooding). Pacman is right on with the weakest link point, and that is really what any grower should be finding and eliminating no matter how experienced.
