what causes density of the buds?

[petergatien]

well i run a 150 screen. had some high temps cuz of the summer but nothign too major once flowering started. got a bit to hot a few days but thats it. i am sure i had some defecensies or lockout or somehtign as i had yellow and brown spotting the whole way threw eevn after flushing. i would have thought that it was light intensity but the buds were right under the light. i checked and it wasnt too warm for them. as for picking early i go by the trichs and they showed that they were ready...about 75% cloudy 25% amber on one and about 90% cloudy on the other. would it be better to have them go longer? i figured by that time they should have been harder. its still good and all but just kinda sucks as these airy ones smoke so much faster..a bowl in my bong shoudl last more than 3 tokes hah

maybe its cuz i had too many colas? i hd about 8 colas and the pot size is a one gallon pot. each cola had about 4-5 inch nugs on the top. when i pulled the plant out of the pot it wasnt rootbound either. i filled 2 jars with the two plants i got but it only weighed about 17 grams. not that im complaining but thats like .1 grams per watt

as for co2..itd be a waste for me as its just a few plants. i cant really afford to get a huge setup going as i only need it for me an my wife. if there was a tiny co2 system then maybe but it seems like it be more of pai for such a small grow

and finally, why argue over the internet? i would appreciate help not a big fight. please be more mature than that. we are all adluts here..and if your not then you shouldnt even be here

yeah... If you're having all kinda of nute problems that will definately affect bud density... for light intensity to properly do it's job, you have to have the other portions of the equation right... A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link... You can have your environment perfect and improper nute ratios will cause problems... You can have your environment perfect and your nute ratios perfect, and Bad pH can cause problems... Messing up in any way can potentially affect bud density. However, like I said... The genes in the plant are the biggest factor... I've grown the same strains in a hot garden and in a cool garden, under 400s and under 1000s, with organics and with hydroponics, indoors and out... I'm not arguing anything, just explaining how I've watched things work...

well i have used the same light setup as well as the same room and noticed a huge difference in more than one strain with increased ventilation and i was thinking maybe it was due to heat build up but after some checking i came to the conclusion that my ventilation (non-co2 enhanced grow) benefited from the ventilation being doubled, this was in the begining of my growing exp. but i noticed such a dramatic increase in density i figured that i should at least mention it.

Density has a lot to do with the strain, But aside from the strain, The ammount of lighting type of lighting ect all play a roll in density, The temperatures do to so to say.

MH produces much denser nugs then hps in my experience hps produces larger fluffier buds, Where mh produces smaller harder nugs, Mixed lighting works wonders as well HPS-MH combo produce larger harder buds then either hps or mh solo....

I'm sure it did... Whatever your limiting factor is, once you remove it your grow will improve... The plants do have to have air moving across the leaf surface, or there is no CO2 to metabolise... That's why I keep specifying that the other aspects of the grow have to be within correct operating parameters for the increased lighting to help...

Whatever you have wrong in a grow will limit it's potential.

I agree....

Hey deadhead you want to troll me in the den thats one thing punk,don't **** with me here.Take you immature shit and keep it in the den.I have no problem sharing knowledge with people that have red dotted me all over the place in the den,politics and punkass grudges have no place here.

This is one of the funniest things I've seen on here in a while. "Take you immature shit and keep it in the den" or I breakah you face! How's that delusional paranoia workin out for you?

I slept 6 last night,thanks

Hey Grat3fulh3ad, give it a break, ok? That doesn't have anything to do with the subject.

 

[petergatien]

why all the hate for head? he hasnt even continued anything in a while, i keep thinking theres new posts and its just more talk of the bickering

 

[romdog11]

im hoping heat doesnt do as much as some of you are saying. with my hps 600 watter on i get 95 degree temps i have a air cooled reflector but that isnt cooling it down enough if you ask me. i have something like over 400 cfm in my fan.

Lower humidity = Denser buds (Relative Humidity of 40 - 50%)
Optimum or slightly lower temperatures = Higher potency (dn't no bout density)
Good Light = Bigger & Denser Buds
