These are Blueberry (dutch passion) buds which were under 400W HPS at 12 inches away most of the time can anyone tell me why they are so airy & fluffly?

the only thing i can think of is when i clipped one of my plants early, they looked dense on the plant but once i clipped them and dryed them out they must have lost all the water in them but they were too early.

Mmmm there were a few weeks when the temp hit 28C maybe thats the problem. Thanks every one for your input.

28c or i think thats 82f wouldnt do that..soaring in2 the 90's would or like 33-35c. wispy buds are notorious in hot summer grow rooms, and under mh for final budding..doesnt sound like u had that ilovit..so i dont know..82 is a pretty good temp..im dumbfounded..maybe a bad pheno from that company id email them pics of ur growin environment and final product..and a complaint..thats bullshit. at the least they should replace ur orginal seed order.

The bank that I got the seeds from handed me the beans & said these are for souvenir purposes only (in U.K. its illegal to germinate cannabis seeds thats the loop hole) so complaining wont work, but it ok this was my first grow. Now that I got the feel of things Im planning on growing sativas in my cab Ive heard sativas generally yield alot more than indicas. Thanks for your comments.

It looks like a lighting issue. Are those lower branch buds? I know sometimes my lower branches that don't get the direct intense light, or diffused by fan leaves will be kind of airy.

You can definitely get a decent yield growing Sativas. The only thing is it takes several extra weeks till harvest. So patients is a must. I just finished a harvest of three plants in a 3x2x8 closet. total flower time was 15 weeks. Total dry weight was just under 13 OZ.

If im correct i was under the impression that indicas yield more as they have denser buds compared to stretched and stringier buds from sativa, this is for indoor growing not outside.

I have had some fluffy blueberry before, most of the time its compact buds but that is because you got the fluffy phenotype. if you got a pack of no feminized seeds then out of ten seed you (normally) have 5 males/5 females and among these females they are each from the same gene pool but vary geneticly. Hope thats the case and the seed company didnt do you dirty and send you some shitty seeds. heat could also be an issue but I doubt it because those buds look good, just leaning toards the sativa genetics (alot) but I bet once cured it will be some soaring smoke.

I hope so, so a batch of non feminised seeds have a better chance of densed buds eh? Thats the 1st time Ive heard of that, is that just with blueberry or are there others also?

Those in the pics are middle to higher buds.

Im going to start a perpetual grow (16 plants) in soil with sativas so hopefully a harvest every 3 weeks at the latest.
