airy crispy buds

i just chopped my plants and the buds are very airy and kind of crispy. For how big the buds are they are very light, this is my second harvest that has gone this way. I think its because they weren't mature, but all the crystals were white, none transparent. One other possibillity, could it be from heat? My temps with the lights on were at 90-92F. I sacrificed temps for wattage, i had a 1000hps goin. In the end i only got 300g anyway:(
So is this heat stress? Or premature? Maybe both..

sorry i dont have any pics right now, but its hard to tell from looking at the bud shots anyway. When you pull a part of the bud away though it is very scrawny and airy
It was floweered for about 19 weeks haha, 6 more then the recomended. However the 13 weeks is a half lie, and she was wounded twice during flower by the light falling

well i dont know that strian very well.

but with most buds you gotta wait till they turn from white to slightly brown man.
u can harvest when the trichomes are cloudy, it just determines a different type of high as opposed to it being mostly all amber trichomes, or half cloudy half amber.

so was it just cut early? I heard some where that higher temps cause airy buds, is their truth to this? Or maybe its just that they need more time to dry
