How to get tight hard buds ? My harvest was not bad for a first timer, both the Critical Purple & Gorilla Glue had some nice buds but they are not tight. Otherwise I am very happy with the quality, both put me on the couch m

theres a few things that come in to play on denser buds. 1. your lights. 2 temps. 75-82 f, 3 nutrients, genetics, 4 your grow style. with lights you want to hang them to what the manufacture recommends , leds are usually for veg anywhere from 22 inches to 28 inches and flower is about 20 inches to 12 inches. that just depend on what watt light. for metal halides also depends on watts, but they hang much higher because of heat. with t5 florescent tubes you can get much closer, so the light you use should be the right height for the watts another thing with lights you can also use more, the more the better esp. growing our favorite plants. next your temps need to be dialed in as if the temps are too high your buds can be loose as well, so increase air flow and reduce temps, next nutrients play a big role in how those flower sites change to bud sites, read the label on what or how much they tell you to use, use less, remember less is more, in nutrients you can go organic like farm fox, n p k industries, ect, these all work great for the plants needs, from going in to veg and in to bloom, the food you feed them will show at harvest time, next genetics, now you could have done everything right with the light and food, and temps and if dense is not in the seed from the breeder you will not get dense nugs, good strains for example are northern lights is a good indica strain, any indica strain will give you dense buds unless the temps are off. there are hybrids that offer some dense buds as well, just read descriptions , and do your research by looking up grows on here. look at others diaries, last your grow style will change for the better. after each grow, you learn. and asking questions like you just did, that is one of the best ways of learning, besides the trial and errors we all have gone through and here and there still go through, but even if the buds are not as dense as you want the important thing is you grew it yourself and you did nt have to buy it from someone else. hope that helped you

Hi Buddy, First off, You've kicked arse for your first grow ! Only thing is, I would have given it a week or two more. Generally speaking, I would give 8 weeks minimum in flower even if description says "60 days" or whatever... Auto's will do their thing, some will have proper nice looking buds, some are just weird looking [ My first grow is proof, both plants were autos one turned out normal, one phucked up] ... and yeah to your question lol ... First off all Genes, Then Environment, nutrients . its not an answer, just an opinion as I would let more experienced ppl to say somt

It is a matter of quality vs quantity. Grow less colas per sq ft. Try leaving only 4 colas per sq ft and those few will be much denser. Simply remove most of the side shots that the plant likes to grow. The yield will be the same, but the amount of buds will be less. Additionally, it will make manicuring much simplet.

Strong lights, correct doses of nutrients, a fertile soil, proper watering methods, and if you use a compact soil i belive it goes a long way into getting smaller plants but way more compact buds.
