Strains that are particularly dense ?

Hello all. I am wondering if people could please suggest strains that are pretty dense ? Maybe they are already known to be dense or it’s something you’ve grown that came out really dense. Thank you for your time and suggestions !!

This list can be huge pretty much anything indica dom providing you have enough light will be dense buds of course there will be exceptions as with anything

Lots of strains grow dense; not a lot of growers can get them to that potential though. First things first, look into and "perfect" your environmental conditions. If your environment is spot on and you have a good nutrient base; 75% of the work is done right there. Specific genetics, honestly Indica dominant hybrids, OGs (cookies falls under here) and their offspring, kush cultivars as well, and purples.

I wouldn’t put cookies under og’s, they’re very different plants, looks, smells, everything really.

I like to grow different breeder, since i am growing i tried a lot. I am an European grower so i like to try different thing. Over the years i grew american, dutch and spanish genetics...

The most dense bud i ever saw is BY FAR the Hash Fruit from cannabiogen. It's Sandstorm x Peyote Purple. And Sandstorm is the Pakistan Chitral Kush cross with a fat Moroccan indica. I grew both the Pakistan and Peyote in other cross, and in term of density and production it's low or very low for both...

However the Moroccan gene make all the difference in the Hash Fruit cross. When you get a peyote or pakistan pheno it's low yield but most pheno were Moroccan dominant, i think the sandstorm female they use is very Moroccan dominant. A friend of mine did the grow under old and not very powerfull led light, it was it's first time and of course he fuck up the feeding (lightly) but even then the Moroccan pheno produced enormous bud...
But the most funny part : just take a small piece of bud, grind it, and you get a mountain out of the grinder. Back then i never saw that...

Funny thing, you should have seen the difference between these indica pheno and the only peyote pheno. 2-3x time more vigor and stretch for the moroccan pheno, maybe 10x time the yield or something... But the peyote pheno smells very hard of passion fruit and was very frosty. Incredible purple color also, but forget the vigor and production. I still have some photo of it in my IG.

So i say it loudly, density was really out of this world on these. And the smoke by itself wasn't bad. Taste was classical afghan indica, hashy with influence from the pakistan, not a lot of terp but it was ok and it smoke fine. High was also very decent, very stoney and far from being weak.

I mean i really like american genetics, but even if you get rock hard bud from your strain you need to keep this in mind : Kush suck in production and you guys just crossed everything with Kush, then hardly inbred the result. With american genetics you can get good production and density... for a kush, which will always be medium at best compare to truly productive and dense variety. Of course it won't be the same high or terpene.

It's a long time that i think i will make myself a proper selection of these hashfruit or sandstorm, and try to cross one of these ultra dense pheno with all my collection of tasty american genetics. Sure i will get some surprise in the offspring.

Cookies X anything give u ideal structure for the masses.... str8 rock hard and fit perfect into containers for the shops
First i saw a cookie i saw a small plant with low yield and vigor, and friends told me "it's great taste and density but forget the production". Then i got some freebies from second gen, cookie trail (forum x blueberry f4). I grow them outdoor in a very favorable condition. Ended with good production and rock hard buds that impress everyone. Of all cookie cross i did after that (gelato, sherb etc), never get something so dense and productive.

And again in term of density the hash fruit was another level...

What surprised me is I had ran 2 pineapple express phenos multiple times. Same batch of seeds and they are definitely quite different plats. One is very dense while the other visually looks like the bigger producer. When it came time for dry weight the 'runt' with the denser nugs was actually the heavier producer. About to do another A/B comparison soon but did lose 1 plant early so that sort of skews my results.

Having a hard time even after multiple runs deciding which to keep a mom for before I venture onto another strain. Don't want to take a step backwards so looking to save the preferred one so I can come back and run it again - but not wanting to dedicate space for both mothers.

I also considered how density plays into mold and similar issues as well as drying/curing and found myself pondering the pro's & con's of the tighter/denser nugs.

If you got the climate for it and want a nice skunk cross id recommend the devil she does ok inside but they do say its a better outdoor plant
