your bullshit kid keep talking about resin instead of compact plant material... yup fuk ya

are you the only person who grows and smokes?are you more knowledgable than me?just because you like fluffy bud and think its the BEST,and i dont think its the BEST it doesnt make you right.
i havent once said fluffy bud is rubbish.but you seem to think dense bud isnt as good as fluffy.
further more compressed weed is hard because its been compressed.if your main cola is rock hard its because it grew that way,not because its low quality compressed weed,so your comparison is nonsense.
your getting all wound up over something that really aint important.

From what ive read and my smoking experience you can get get cronic bud thats fluffy or dense it does'nt necessarily mean one has more THC then the other. However I am not willing to sacrifice yield by using MH during flowering just for it to be more fluffy.
Also can't +Rep anyone done it too many times gotta wait 24 hours.

This whole "fluffy vs. dense" debate is pretty asinine. It all comes down to personal preference. If the OP prefers fluffy bud who is anybody here to tell the man he's wrong? Personally, I've had some pretty killer "fluffy" nug. It doesn't matter one lick to me if it's fluffy or dense as long as it's dank! Happy growing!:weed:

people have no clue what nice weed is. there is a world a dank past your crusty hard ass buds. fluffy dont mean leafy fluffy dont mean the nug is invisible, fluffy doesnt mean no thc. People have no clue what it is to pack a bowl with out manhandling a flower. Its a bag of flowers not a bag of rocks. the best buds are fluffy, dont let people/idiots miss interpret the word like they aint never seen the weed, sucks for them out in grinderville
Ive never used a grinder, a perfect bud you should be able to pull a bowl size piece off your nug and throw it right into the bowl without doing anything break up or anything of the like, but should be dense enough to cause a slow even burn. And from what Ive seen you get that perfect nug from a sativa. Thats the reason I dont like indicas is because they tend to be more compact "dense" buds plus the high from indicas sucks.

This is hilarious, people hear the word "fluffy" and automatically start screaming "Garbage!!" totally understandable. but i believe what the op is actually looking for is a plant with a higher leaf to calyx ratio. if denser buds had inherently higher resin contents why are most hash producing strains on the leafier side? think about this it is the trichomes that contain most of the psychoactive compounds. a larger more open flower has more exposed surface area to develop trichomes.
oh no no no. if you look back in the thread i suggested this exact thing and the guy basically told me i was retarded in a "polite" way. he said something to the effect of "fluffy does not mean leafy". he's talking about buds that are capable of having the air squished out of them. reminds me of my first grow.

it sounds like you prefer sativas over indicas which is totally logical. Look for a good sativa or sativa dominant strain that matches your other criteria.

Thanks for the input people I am going to be growing G13 or Super Lemon Haze and just thought if there was any tricks to make it fluffy, like some of the people who told me to use MH but I am not willing to sacrifice yield over it just thought i could do 1 or 2 minor things that would do it. Am just trying to get as much information as possible before i start my first grow as i cant really afford to be making any mistakes.

its a strain thing (the right fluffy) if your setup sucks thats not "fluffy" but that would be i guess "bad fluffy"

a good way to get fluffy buds is to use the minimal light intensity, grow a sativa dom strain and harvest early when trichs are mostly cloudy and the bracts have not swelled fully. both fluffy and dense buds can be good IMO, but if you are growing commercially, fluffy buds usually means a lower yield but if it is for personal then weight does not really matter. good luck

i think you misunderstand my point, a higher leaf to calyx ratio does not equate to a poor quality flower. it just means the buds are much larger with more leaves, not necessarily less flowers. these buds are much easier to compact.


growing in a more humid environment will cause the plant to produce larger leaves. this may also be an option for you. just be conscious of mold risk and that plants tend to produce more resin in lower humidity. someone stated earlier to look into sativa dominant strains, that is definitely a good idea.

all i said was that i already suggested a strain with a higher leaf to bud ratio and he told me i was an idiot. i made no reference to the quality of the bud. i don't see how you saying the same exact thing makes the guy's point any more valid. people have repeatedly suggested at least 3 ways to end up with a fluffy end product but this guy swears he's talking about some mysterious magic texture that no one could possibly understand...on a forum full of lifelong potheads. yeah, man. we have no clue. most of us have only been smoking weed for decades. lmao.

It was definatly fluffier than the sensi star.
Tasted lil skunk, but mainly sweet like the motivation.
The sensi star is some sweeet tasting shit,

Potency was about the same, incrdible.
I Kinda liked the Motivaitons high more, plus she was the best plant last grow, just vigorus a healthy as hell.
Nothing seemed to phase her.
I got a lil clone of her still going with my cronic an sharksbreath.
