The quest for density in buds

[dankydank1973]

Alot of the "rock hard" nugs from the street have been vaccum seal packaged. You can vaccum seal any bud and turn fluff into rock hard tight nugs...they don't come off the tree like that. They create the effect.

PGR is what shady people use for dense buds

Yeah, I see tons of PGR bud coming out of Cali. Flooding the market here.

Honestly never heard of pgr. This is a wild revalation. The nerve of some people!! I don't think I'll smoke anyone else's weed again after a quick read on these. Unbelieveable.

Plant growth regulators some are ok to use but most are bad for your health

You can tell pgr bud it will be dense as a rock and by the look of it

And the fact it normally has very little smell and tastes shit

Good luck getting out of your crib in Australia with their crazy Covid rules. I’d rather go live on the moon all by myself.

Maybe im not expressing myself clearly enough. Sure my weed gets a little compact but have you ever bought weed from the streets? Almost all of it is rock hard nugs that sounds like rocks when you drop them on the table. It’s called CO2, and you will only understand when you will have tried the same strain with and without CO2. I’m just searching something that would create the same end product without the CO2.

It was said earlier. The main 2 factors in dense buds is genetics and light.
When testing my 200watt light I grew 2 jungle cakes. I had one at 22" and one at 16" from led. Same genetics and the one closer to light had more solid buds. But yeah the only way to give plant more light and push it is Co2. But it's expensive and the Co2 bags are worthless.

CO2 only good for a dialed in grow, fully sealed room

I don't get dense nugs every run but I often do. Some seeds just deliver, some don't.

No air to be found in here.....

I agree- I have had different strains in a group that are nice and tight and others with a fluffier bud. Same room, temps nutes, c02. Everything. Different bud structure.
When you have the right genetics, dialing in the atmosphere is key.
I may start growing 1 strain at a time, but I like the variety.

Only difference i saw with VPD was bud swelling but if it made it more compact, it was barely noticeable

Very true!! I also find getting the flowers into jars tightens them up also

Why do you say the c02 bags are useless?
I have 3 in my grow room and regularly see levels between 700-1100.

What are you using to collect the data for your co2 levels?

This detector- it was around $110 on Amazon

Does it data log? Or just read the levels when you are in the room?
