Fattening Up Your Buds For Your Best Harvest Yet

----Intended for the 18 & over---- There are many variables that can determine how fat and trichome-rich your nugs will be, so in this article, we explain how to grow bigger buds during flower, what to consider, and how to avoid smaller low-producing popcorn buds. Sebastian Good gives you tips on how to grow huge Cannabis Flowers. . LIGHT INTENSITY Light is the most important factor when trying to get denser cannabis flowers because lights help cannabis plants produce sugars through the photosynthesis process which helps them grow, just have in mind that not any light will do, weed needs an optimal light intensity to produce big fat buds. LIGHT SPECTRUM Not only the light intensity but also the light spectrum emitted by your light will affect how dense your buds get, each wavelength in the light spectrum plays an important role in a cannabis plant’s growth process. As you may know, light bulbs (like MH and HPS) don’t emit a full-spectrum, while MH emits the blue spectrum, HPS emit the red spectrum that’s why Metal halide bulbs are used in the vegetative stage while HPS bulbs are used in the flowering stage. TEMPERATURE, HUMIDITY AND AIRFLOW The growing conditions also have a huge influence on bud density, cannabis plants thrive between 18-26°C and in relative humidity that starts at 70% and slowly decreases until it reaches around 45% during the last weeks of flowering. OPTIMAL AIRFLOW ENSURES THE BEST BUD DENSITY In nature, cannabis is a wind-pollinated plant. This means that the plant is genetically disposed to expend more energy on budding sites that are exposed to optimal airflow and light. There are a couple of ways that we, as cultivators, can ensure that the plant has the best chance of producing dense, juicy nuggets by simply maximizing the air exchange in the canopy and the entire grow area.
