How do I make my nugs more dense?
To grow the densest, biggest buds possible, your plants need plenty of light. If you’re growing outdoors, make sure your plants receive at least 6-8 hours of sunlight a day, but 10-12 is optimal. Put your plants on a south-facing slope and they’ll get the most sun possible.
Why are my buds light and fluffy?
FAQ About Airy Buds
Loose airy buds are generally caused by lack of nutrients, improper lighting, and hot temperature. But you can still end up with the same problem if the nutrients are too much, the temperature is too low, the airflow is poor, or the plant has root problems.
How do you grow outdoor buds thicker?
Another tip for growing bigger buds involves regularly feeding compost tea to your soils. Compost teat helps develop healthy mycorrhizal relationships between the soil and mycelium. The more mycelium in the soil, the more nutrients the plant is going to take up, which will result in bigger buds.
Should I remove fan leaves during flowering?
Yes you should – but with the correct technique. A proper thinning will remove 20-40% of the mid to upper foliage every 5-7 days. Removing these fan leaves opens up light and produces better air exchange to the lower canopy.
What strain has the most dense buds?
Grinspoon has the densest buds, by far, to the extent the entire bud collapses under it’s own weight and like a black hole exists only as a singularity.
What Week Do buds fatten up?
Weeks 4-6: Buds Fatten Up.
Can you smoke airy buds?

Are popcorn buds less potent?
From a commercial standpoint, popcorn nugs are considered “B-grade” buds in comparison to the larger, “A-grade” buds that serve as the centerpiece for many jars and packages of flower in dispensaries. Though popcorn nugs may be slightly less potent due to their reduced mass, the difference is largely negligible.
Why are popcorn nugs cheaper?
Popcorn nugs are the smaller, cheaper buds you can find at most dispensaries. Because they lack the A-plus, showroom-quality appearance of full-price bud, many producers and dispensaries will sell them at a discounted price in order not to waste any product.
Are small buds bad?
Small flower buds will typically run you less than the photoshoot-worthy nugs and contain a potent dose of THC for the price. There’s nothing inherently wrong with buying popcorn nugs, unless you’re looking for the most trichome content possible, regardless of the price.
Why are my buds so small?
Nutrients – Buds won’t fatten and get dense unless they’re getting the right nutrients at the right time, which means low Nitrogen (N) and plenty of Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K) in the flowering stage. Giving too much Nitrogen (found in all-purpose plant food) in the flowering stage results in smaller, looser buds.
Are small nugs good?
The Benefit of Small Buds
Smalls provide nearly the same level of cannabinoids (THC, CBD, etc.) and terpenes (taste, smell) as the Instagram worthy nugs. Farms and growers alike typically sell them for lower prices because of the lack of bag appeal with roughly the same aroma and trichrome production.
How do you harvest top buds first?
It is very common for the buds that received the most direct light to ripen before other buds that did not. We recommend cutting the top “colas” first and leaving the lower leaves for an extra week or two. Or if you want, just cut the entire plant off above the root ball all at once.
Should I harvest top buds first?
Often the larger buds that have received the most direct light will ripen first. If possible, harvest the larger top colas first and leave the lower and interior buds for an additional week or two. The increased sunlight will quickly bring the remaining buds to full maturity.
How much do buds shrink during drying?
How Much Do Buds Shrink During Drying? During the drying process, the buds will lose about 70% of weight due to the evaporation of the moisture within the buds. The drying process will cut the with by more than half.
How do you cut top buds?
Find the 5th node on the main stem, and cut above it. Wait and watch. Topping can be stressful for the plant, so keep an eye on it for a couple days and be sure it gets plenty of water and light. If you’re going to top again, give the plant a couple weeks to recover from the first topping.
Can I cut a bud off my plant early?
Harvesting too early will reduce your overall yield and potency, as the last two weeks of harvest are the peak time for cannabinoid production. Yet harvesting too late can cause the trichomes to become extra-brittle when they are dried and cured, making them break off easily.
