As outdoor season is upon us in my neck of the woods. I have a few questions regarding how to get heavier, more dense buds out of my future crop.
Have a few years under my belt growing outdoors, so I know the basics and fundamentals of it.
Ok. . . Usually I start my plants in jiffy seedling pods or simply sow my seeds in large pots. (Seems to work fine for me) after my plants reach 6" to 1 foot I transplant to the ground and final resting spot for that plant.
Don't add any nutrients until there a couple feet tall and healthy. Even then I mostly only use a Comercial amonia nitrate blend ferry and or just simple miracle grow mix's such as bloom booster, flowering mix. And that's it other than topping them a couple times. I grow from bagseed collected during the year also, misc. Strains.
I harvest when 80% of the white hairs mature/darken in laterms sept- early oct usually. Dry on the stalk after cleaning them up (green). So dry, jar and cure 2-4 weeks. My problem is the product is always light and fluffy, not good weight or as dense as I'd like.
Does anyone have any tips or pointers to get heavier dense buds outdoors. Is it my nutes, my strains or techniques? They get plenty of light and are grown in proven good dark healthy soil. Thanks for any input ahead!
