Good to know!
I wish you guys in the know would help me determine if/when mine is ready (link in sig).
She is on day 53 of flower now and there are links to current photos.
I am seeing several colas that look finished to me but others still have white hairs sticking straight out.
Am to the point you said... when you think its done wait... but don't think i need another week.
I guess i should start my own 'is it done yet' thread but i think you guys have identified the problem here.
Pics are down. You will have to.use a site like imugr.

I know, when the site crashed i signed up and created a thread at grasscity, have a link to it in my grow thread here in sig.
I also created an account at imgur or whatever it is but have no photos uploaded as of now.
What is screwing with me the most i think, is wanting to keep it in the dark a couple days and don't know if i wait until its finished or try to time its finish and no more light starting now.

Thanks bro!
I tried my usb scope earlier but will have to wait until lights off in the morning. it creates too much glare on my laptop and i can't see anything.
will post 'em in the morning. I'll update that thread with imgur links, didn't think about it but some sites won't let us see images unless we have an account there and unsure about GC.
Thanks again!

I have an account there.

Your buds are crowning. Fox tailing. Its either close to done or high temps.

Just tag me when you load them and I'll look.

I answered the thread at gc also. You will recognize me. Name is slightly different but same avatar.

it really could just be phenotype... i flowered 15 clones all from the same strain (some from different moms though).. same soil all exact same conditions... all came out fire... but yeah some had little chunky rock nugs and some had what looked like great big huge juicy kolas but when dried they were very airy...

I have not tried this but am planning to try it on the popcorn buds from pending harvest (another day or 2 i think! :D).
I plan to put those airy buds in the jars and once cured for a few weeks or so, vacuum seal the jar.
I think that might tighten them up but again, have not tried it yet.

This is kind of what I am thinking also.
Is this your first time doing this? I mean, it sounds like you did everything correctly to me. Its just normal for it to lose the water weight.

*edit* if they are not dense enough when dry, you need more light in flower.
Na I've been growing for some time now. This is actually the second run in a row that this happens. The first time it was due to low light (I was experimenting with CFLs). But this time idk, maybe I do need more light. I just got a "1000" watt led so let's see

I have a Tasty T-2100 for one plant. I transplanted my plant today and it didn't even droop. I water it and it never droops unlike my old Blackstar and Pro-Gro. Good lights make a huge difference,

Hey guys just a quick question. I just cropped some bangi haze and it looks amazing in the tent. Nice and fat nugs and a nice smell. So after chopping and trimming I set them aside to dry. Temp 70-75 degree and humidity is at 60. After the first day of drying my buds became so loose and airy. No more dense nugs no more nothing. After just the first day. Wtf did I do wrong? Did I crop too early ? Anything helps. Thanks
I think your LED is weak what kind is it? Cheap prices get cheap lights.
If your running Blurple LED's your doing fine in veg but weak in bloom. PERIOD.

You said "haze". That say's sativa to me...Some can be looser then others.

Still. low lighting intensity, High heat and too much N don't work well for nice dense buds.
Other things, can be that useless 2 week "flush" and not having enough K in bloom. K and a "little" more P will dense up late budding in the last 2 weeks or during the "bulking phase".
If your plants had yellowing leaves early to mid bloom showing up....You may have had too much P. OR, you might have had some nutrient "build up"...that did some minor blocking.....Many old school soil and synthetic users....Simply run a small "leeching" every few weeks to prevent that. Most of them are Jack's users. They run 20-10-20 or 20-20-20 at 1/4 tsp and do that "leech" like every 2-3 weeks....Most of them supplement K sulfate too.

So then, under 75, check your N (AND early P) use, be sure you have enough "Lux" value hitting the plants and raise your P/K 1:3 in late bloom.

Same thing happen to me once my nugs were fat and dense when the finish dry it looked hairy and airy I was so pissed I hope it doesn't happen to me again I'm about to harvest

I had airy buds when I first chopped on one of my grows, as you dry they tighten up. Im surprised nobody else has said that yet.
