How much humidity do you have when you bloom?

Hmm I've never seen buds get really airy from curing/drying, but I've only been doing this a few years. Maybe somebody with more experience has an idea?

They're prolly just wet still and lost their turgor after chop. Once they dry they should stiffen up.

It is his lighting. It’s all cfls and maybe a t5 or t8 based on his profile pics. They have horrible penetration after a few inches.

All you kids with your little LED's... Get yourself a Big Boy light light a good old fashioned 1000W HPS. Then you'll understand penetration and density.

I'm only half joking. I've seen some nice LED grows but mostly it looks like a bunch of popcorn.

Could be genetics, could be heat stress.

No offense, but after a decade+ with 1000w HPS lights, I officially turned them off for good last week. I've been messing with LEDs for a couple years now and all I can say is "Screw HID for Almost All Indoor Cannabis." lol

The only real use I can see for HID is when you're growing in super cold environments. That 300w of IR makes a great heater.
