I have a crop nearing harvest. It shows lots of trichomes, like snow, still clear but I want this crop to ā??be all it can beā? and would like suggestions on how to make the buds more dense and the best way to ripen them. If I can make the buds more dense this batch may have NBB (nothing but buds) tops 8ā?-10ā? long and 2ā? thick. Currently itā??s buds ever where, some 1Ā½ inch long. If I can make it work I will post pictures.

I'm currently asking the same question. Got one plant budding up nicely, but I want it to be a big fat monster triffid like you see in the pictures.

Everyone wants huge big thick buds....and you achieve this through light intensity/nutrients/right temp/right humidity/right medium/right genetics and trimming lower growth that will under-develop anyway....

Provide the necessities for big huge thick buds and you will get them....

So would you recommend cutting off the lower stems and maybe replanting them? I was told that cutting the top off the plant will encourage lower growth.

Is high humidity better for bud growth than low?

It's getting a bit cold now so maybe I should turn the heating on a bit.

I can only do what I can do, got no professional growing equipment, just a window with some sun coming in during the day if I'm lucky.

You reap what you sow....

The questions you asked can be answered in the Grow FAQ section.... Also look up the term, lollipopping....

It already looks like a lollipop, most of the lower leaves have fallen off naturally anyway. Having read a bit about it I'm inclined not to cut off anymore. The thing is I only have one plant so I can't really afford to fuck up at this stage.
