Buds - Difference Between Compact and Fluffy

MsBBB · May 2, 2011

I have heard many people talk about their buds being tight and compact versus fluffy. Exactly what does that mean, and wouldn't it depend on the strain? Can a growers' methods make a difference in the bud density? Thanks

light really plays a major factor in bud density

its mostly strain, but yes, high phosph can help density, and deffinately higher wattage light.

When I grew with cfls I got mostly fluffy buds, nice size but not much weight. Now that I'm using mh/hps my buds are much bigger and heavier

Cooler temps?

you get your lights to close and you'll end up with " airy " buds too..

Tight or fluffy buds doesn't affect the potency does it???

nope that's genetics

humidity also plays a major role in bud density.
lower the humidity and your buds should be denser.
plants produce resin as "sunblock" to protect its self from, in my case, twin suns

High temps also cause airy buds

This time, my current grow should be tight! I have the temperture under control this time around.
