okay.... so i harvested after 8.5 weeks of flowering, the plants were about 4.5 feet tall, and the bud is the stickiest ive had with hairs, and completely coated in crystals, it comes on overwhelmingly strong in the head but with some clarity, and very energetic. However, all the bud is very light, what looks like 3 ounces is only 36 grams.... i used cfls, the hood from the ag and i used the ag nute tabs. Can anyone tell me why off of 4 tall ass very strong plants, i only got 36 grams, .... i was hoping for like 8 ounces.... waht can i do different for next time.

u need some hps or alot of cfls litterally as close as they can get for rock hard buds

i used skunk seeds, the nutrients that came with the AG and the lights in the hood of the ag are flourescent i believe plus i used an extra hood both of which were on the sides becuase of how tall they were and i used 4 additional CFL's some not as close to plant as the should have been...

You have two problems as i see it. First of all keep those CFLs as close to the plants as possible. Second go get some nutrients. More than likely I would venture to say your plants didn't have enough food to produce large dense buds. Look into Gravity or Overdrive. Personally I use Overdrive which is made by Advanced Nutrients and it gives me nice firm buds.
