Airy buds after drying

SAC87started grow question 5y ago

For some big ass buds, they dried down a ton. There isn’t much there as far as weight. Can you think of any reasons why the buds would feel quite dense wet, but now that they’re dry they are very airy. 👎🏻Dried 6 days 70 F RH 50%, light air circ and exhaust fan running. Thanks

Hey Growmie ... Unfortunately, most plants lose 70% of their weight once dry. Just part of the game ...

You'll get around 20 to 30% the wet weight once dry depending on the strains. Plants are like us , mostly made of water . It's like comparing a piece of meat to some beef jerky

Hi @SAC87 it seems ideal for buds to dry well. it is normal to lose 20% -40% of weight. Usually with a dehumidifier without controlled programming they lose a lot, but this is not your case. good luck mate 👍

Dry buds weight around 20% of its wet weight, so it's normal

Just about finishing week six, Are my buds supposed to fatten up during weeks 7 and 8? Or am I looking at about as much flower as I can hope for? Latest pics are in my grow but I’ll add some here for convenience

1 Plant good nugs 4 Plants are airy flaky not dense at all.My last grow had 5 plants going & overwatered once & believe had some runoff that the plants sat in. I suspect this damaged them pretty significantly. One of the plants came out amazing, nice dense strong nugs. The other 4 plants have airy nugs not dense at all. What caused this?

Please suggest a product that controls bud mold. Auto-Flower CBD Strawberry Kush Is there a product that one can buy in Canada that would prevent or control mold for an outdoor grower? It has been raining a lot so far this season. Has anyone had good experiences with said product? No pictures of the actual mold, as I have been picking it off.

Solenco Mini Dehumidifier Hi Growers. Please can you advise if this mini dehumidifier will be sufficient to drop RH in my grow tent. I'm struggling to drop RH below 50% and I'm in flower with some huge top colas. Should I reduce light intensity?

Ready for the chop? Day 59 of flowering Does it still need more time? Hairs look 75-90%(depending on what cola you look at) orange and trichs look about right. Not sure if I'm seeing new pistols or their just kinda folding inwards. My preference is to harvest it for a nice balanced effect. Just a little couch lock.

Would you stop feeding the plants with fertilizer at this point already? I think it will be fine for the Northern Lights and the Purple Queen but may be a little early for the Dance World. Little disadvantage with one common pot that I can only treat all plants the same way..
