Ok, im a newbie grower for sure, but i have 3 grows under my belt, and am in the midst of a bigger grow now. anyways, before i flower the new 6 plants, i need to make sure it doesnt turn out the same as the last three. Dont get me wrong, it was decent weed, but everytime, it turned out light, fluffly, leafy (like all sugar leaf) i mean, tons of trichs, tons of resins, it was just airy and loose bud. I wondered about the strain, but they were OG KUSH, Ortega Indica, and Super Silver Haze. everytime ive seen those strains, the buds were dense and tight. heavy nugs...i have like fluffballs...its not the trimming, the actual bud is leafy. heres my set up, nutes, and a few pics. the pics make it look better than it was due to a shitty camera.

they were all veg. 1.5+ mo. under a 105w CFL, 18/6. they were soil plants, potted in 1 gal. cont. with Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil, they were fed Superthrive, Earth Juice Microblast, and FoxFarms Grow Big at appropriate stages. After first signs of flower, they were fed with Fox Farms Big Bloom for 6.5 weeks, then flushed. one watering with 1tsp. mollasses/gal., then just water until trichs are 1/2 milky/1/2 clear, with a touch of amber. 3/4 hairs brown. they were under a 400w Hps (yes the light was close enough( 8-12in) fan on them, temps 75-85 tops, 40-55 humidity. good air circulation.

I wonder if its the finisher?? If so, i want to get somthing to add to the mix. Im changing nutes though. Im going to try out this Advanced Nutrient stuff. Everyone is asing if it works and tons of people say its a joke, but they never tried it and never will...soo im going to find out from expierience. Im using Sensi grow a/b for veg, and Connoisseur a/b for flower. Also adding Great White's benificial bacteria. ive heard good things about it, we will see. anyways, if you have the answer to my airy whispy weed, please give me instruction. im eager to soak in more knowledge!:bigjoint:

It sounds like you are doing everything right and maybe got some bad genetics. All those brand names mean is that they are descended from that strain. You should try a couple clones from someone that has absolutely good genetics. Probably not anything you are doing. After growing a couple years I ordered some seeds directly from a breeder in Holland. I have never regretted it. It was no cheap date after paying for delivery and all, but I have been pleased with the results.

Thinkin you need some flowering nutes dude. FF is a great product....try incorporating their Tiger Bloom, and also the 3pack of Open Sesame, Beaztie Bloom and Cha Ching.
Good luck

It is big enough but the rule with cfl's is the more the better. I am using 6 100w equiv. 2700k cfl's in veg and 8 100w cfl's in my flowering room. The big flowering room has 300w hps (much better).

It works fine for veg. I have a few 100w too on the sides. However, you will get much more vigorous growth with hps all the way through. I just choose to save the electricity, and heat. Besides, after the growth spurt, the are plenty tall bushy and strong for me. I use the lollipop method also, so that helps a great deal. Keeping the Maine growth closest to the main light.
Also thank you for the replys. I'll see what I can do with getting seeds online. I'm sure this has been asked a billion times, but where are the safe places to order from, and is there any percautions I should use in ordering these seeds, even though I'm a registered medical marijuana patient? Thanks again for the suggestions.

O also, when I say 105w, I mean that's the actual wattage. It says = to 400watts. It's a big ass light, like a foot long. It does well as long as u keep it close to the tops(I.e.- 2in.) and honestly the only time I was using it on 6 plants is when they were under a ft. Now I have on over 3 plants in 5 gal, i had the other 3 under the same, but it burnt out, so I threw in a 400 w hps. Like I said, more growth there. Honestly I only had it over 6 plants when they were all on little cups and under 10in. I have 3 plants in 5 gal buckets veging under a 105w cfl, but I'm sure the 400w hps on the three plants right next to them helps. I had them all under 105w clfs but, 1 burnt out so I threw the hps in. I'm going to start a journal on this grow. 3 super silver haze x 3 of kush, next 3 Mr. Nice guy x 3 Potter Valley Kush/Sno Cap depending if my seed turns out to be a she. Maybe a big bud in there too. This may be jumpoing the gun, but after that I'm going to try to get Cinderella99 clones, and Papaya Kush. Heard very good things bout em' (and the breeder). I'll post the link when I get up the journal.
