How to make buds dense?

Sorry there is NO magic nutrient that will make your buds dramatically denser, a lot of desity has to do with a plants genetics, keeping the plants in stable temps and good light will certainly help a lot, but some strains are WAY denser than others. Granddaddy Purple, Cherry Pie and OG Kush all have tight rock hard dense nugs no matter what, if you mess up the temp or lights they just become pebble sized, yet equally dense nugs rather than becoming airy. One last thing that I'd say makes the biggest difference of all is PRUNING, virtually every gram of popcorn crap that you allow to form below your minimum usuable light level is a gram that is SUBTRACTED from your upper nugs. If a plant diverts 3grams worth of energy into shitty ass little popcorn nugs that you got lazy and didnt clean up later in flowering those are 3 grams worth of energy it could have been focusing toward your upper buds. The weight is gonna come out about the same, the plant is gonna yeild about the same weight pruned or unpruned, pruning it just forces the plant to pack all those little nugs into a few denser bigger ones. I tend to veg plants bigger than I want them, then hack them down to nothing when I go into flowering, so I have smaller plants with the roots of much larger plants, I keep them well pruned up and keep picking all that popcorn crap that it tries to make down below off every night when I water. If anything pruning is the key to density, good light and temps are just basic grow requirements.

Yes all those other factors are important. Genetics is the number one factor though, imo. With everything being equal a plant with genetically fluffy buds, like some sativas, will not get rock hard flowers no matter what you do. I grew mexican bagseed sativa's for years, stupidly, until I ordered some good genetics of the very indica leaning variety. There is no comparison. Same environment, same nutes, grow medium ect ect. My indica has ROCK hard buds right now finishing the 7th week of 12/12.

So, yes all factors are important genetics being number 1.

Genetics -> Lights -> good temperature/humidity

Those are the main factors, kind of in descending order of importance, although if you have really shit lights then that will become the main limiting factor...

Get te lights really close or use higher powered light and keep the temps down, also somewhat has to do with genetics but a dense strain can be airy without the right conditions.
