That actually could be the reason right there. Loose, airy buds are usually caused by either a lack of light, nutes or heat stress during veg.

You definitely don't have a lack of light. Did your temps ever get above 82 during veg?

ok zonked, how about if you're going to get snappy at people, then we don't help you at all.

i was suggesting ideas on what could be wrong, not trying to insult your intelligence.

good luck.

dude i might just be to high but im mostly right wen im high i read your thread and i just think u should have had those lights alot closer to the plants since the bigining those are kinda stretched buds, so all u can do now since u only have a week or two left, just wait and let them do what they do, wen ever somthing is wrong the plant will tell u and ue plant looks healthy but a bit streched so the only thing i can tell u is light have to be as close as they posiblycan to get fat buds man,

I couldnt or cant put them closer cuz at first my friend suggested to get them close and all it did was fry my plants to a crisp so I will never try to get them any closer, if i could i would have them 12-14 inches from the tops but even with a fan blowing above the light and an air mover I had that problem.

Its gotta be some sortve deficiency, lookin sortve like a Mg deficiency on some leaves I see. 1 cup/150 gallons isnt much, you could easily double that. I use the equivalent of over 3 cups of A&B per 150gal, granted I'm not in soil. I dont understand why the hieight of your plants vary from 7in to 5ft? Also, you arent still using voodoo juice this late in flower are you? Also, are you sure you pH pen is properly calibrated? You could raise the ppm on your nutes, but you should actually start flushing soon anyway. If you wanna make it easy on yourself, go organic, its pretty mcuh impossible to screw up with organic nutes.

nah, im not using voodoo anymore, that was last week, i was at 800 ppm with 1 cup, i dont want to over nute them at this stage but your right, i cant figure out what deficiency it is.

I just reread you answers and I see that you are using tap water. Tapwater usually has a decent amount of magnesium, so that might not be it. How many ppm is your tap water after you filter it?

200ppm is after the filtration. I didnt know tap water had magnesium, Speaking of magnesium just so you know I have not even given them cal-mag yet, i am so stupid that I forgot to give them cal-mag this whole time wow.

I see in a couple of the pics that the fan leaf stems are red, which usually points to lack of nutes. However the plants know they are close to the end of life and its natural that fan leaves start turning yellow and eventually dying. It might be a bit late to do much, but defiantly get those lights as close as you can. Usually can be as close as 4-6 inches of the tops if you have decent ventilation.

And thats your problem bro, your lights. if you cant control their heat dont use them all or get an air conditioner or sell em and get 3 600w's. You'll never get decent buds unless the light is lower period..Want your problem fixed, there ya go.
