I heen help

Basic setup
For the first four weeks (Grow phase)
125 watt ez grow light
Drip watering: water flows down two trays and drains back to holding tank.
I use General Hydroponics products using their feeding chart for flora Nutrient. Lights run 18 hrs.
Bloom Phase
400 watt sodium bulb
I transplant them into 3 gallon buckets.
Watering is the same, it flows into the buckets and drains back to supply.
I change the nutrients once a week.

There is no high tech equipment. I use 2 fans to blow the air around timers for light and water, thatâ??s it
BTW the growing room is a big walk-in closet

Now here is my problem. First crop (Mex seeds) grew fine and a nice smell around week 3 or 4. they grow fine, but the buds were real loose with long red hairs. Nice simple smoke.
Second crop: more mex same methods, but now no smell, 3 weeks before harvest, I started to prune the big finger leafs. Same thing, the buds were loose and long red hairs. But the quality is crap:( . I have smoked some weed from a Medical grower and it was kick ass and tight bubs:thumbsup: . I tried someone elseâ??s homegrown and again kick ass weed and tight buds with great smell:rasta: . Anyone have any ideas as to what Iâ??m doing wrong or what else should I be doing?:confused:

I can't see your setup (never done hydro myself), but I would guess you don't have good enough genetics (ie you haven't invested in good quality seeds). From what I know, that is the first and most important thing involved in the potency of the eventual product.

Mex seeds turn out different alot i had the same problem so i started buying seeds from <www.buydutchseeds.com> they have a veriaty of them!!!

well for one you trimmed it while it was still putting on weight, so you hurt that process some. Also, you may have harvested too early. Or perhaps you left males in there and got seeds? i don't know, maybe you're just growing shitty weed. You have some practice, now buy some quality seeds and grow the good stuff. and don't prune, just tuck/tie leaves down and out of the way.
