Which of the three looks better?

ph25 · Oct 24, 2021

Please help, I still have a couple of weeks of curing to go yet, I think. Took photos of two of my home grown buds (some leaves too) and one shop bought. Can you let me know if my two homegrown are looking ok compared to my shop bought? (Shop bought is amazing by the way, sure it’s much tastier)
first two photos are my own, third photo is bought. First grow and cure ever. Thanks for any advice.

Thought so, don’t think I’ll be able to re create the lovely stuff I’m buying. Thanks

My brother takes his when trims but still on stem and rolls up in wax paper and then Saran Wrap and compresses it for like 3 hours then finishes trimming and buds are compact

Nice idea. I’ll try that next time

Flower density is primarily determined by genetics and the presence of adequate light. For newer indoor growers the most common cause I see for airy buds is too little light or poor feeding/watering practices resulting in unhealthy plants. You absolutely can grow buds as good or better than the dispensary stuff, you just have to dial everything in.

Thank you for your advice. They were outdoor Northern Europe late plants, the summer here was awful, and I admittedly overwatered a couple of times.
First plants so I’m always happy to take advice.

Outdoor density is naturally less due to higher than normal night time humiditys.
