Why do want fluffier buds? First advice would be to get rid of any beneficial lights and throw a bunch of underpowered cfl's in the cab instead :lol:

Less light intensity.....for most of us, we try for tighter buds.....but I love those little popcorn buds.....

@DB thanks i thought it was perfect for this forum :)

@tip top and old reefer so basically your saying
Less light intensity = More fluffy
More light intensity = Tighter bud
Am growing for both personal use and a little side money aswell nothing amazing. Everyone i seem to know including myself prefer fluffy buds hence why i want it.
Thanks for the speedy replies aswell

Other than the fellow in my signature, i've never met anyone that wants crap fluffy buds. People want hard compact buds. Fluffiness is typically an indication of a sub-par weed.

lol, along with others I briefly think of all the people asking how to get denser nugs :)

Some of the super heavy sativa's, the ones that cattail like crazy, tend to be more fluffy, but huge. The individual cattails tend to be as dense as normal bud, but the way the cattails mesh is quite different than the dense indica colas you tend to get. Anyway, other than that, you don't want fluffy bud. Fluffy in the sense that most people use it is usually a lack of proper light. If they mean they don't want brick weed, that is quite a bit different than telling someone you want fluffy, especially if that person deals in top quality herb :)

now u got me thinking as to why u want these light fluffy buds and in my research some people crop at diff stages early = a more heady maybe interlectual high where as late crops tend to get the bodily stoned sleepy effect

just curious its late and im stoned on some really densely packed buds :D

people dont know what the fuck they want. they think if you cant pack it with out grinding its some how better. other people think your talking about some non put together nug. True smokers like myself know too dense is no good and weed should pack and burn perfect without even touching or breaking it up. my advise is try a different strain. under my same lights, some will always be denser(b widow) than others- except now i grow all fluffy because i know whats up

the term "fluffy" has such negative connotations, fluffier buds are not necessarily bad. many strains have leafier colas than others, but you can also add a bit of extra nitrogen during mid flower to encourage more leaf growth, don't add too much or it will inhibit flower production and cause stretching.

Flower under a halide, fluffier bud, more trich production, some drop in yield. Possibly a MH with some 7200K side lighting. Im going to try to mix MH and LED and see what happens. I predict mad crust, and a negligible loss of yield.

Thanks for the input guys, I dont have a clue what you mean by mexican brick weed since am from the UK lool From around my area I was brought up thinking that fluffy bud is a positive thing over tight bud which is more of a negative thing. I believe its just to do with it looking more of a big bag if you know what i mean.
