        What temps and humidity do you run? Airy buds maybe a result of too hot?

          Most likely has to do with the lighting and nutrients. You may have harvested too early. No way to know without substantially more detailed information such as:
          The light
          Your nutrients
          Grow medium
          Strain
          PH of nutrient solution
          etc.....

            Bluey you ever read other grow sites? Man those folks go postal on newbies when they don't put the work into learning the basics. And when they always have " But what if i do this instead of what your saying" I studied and watched indoor growers asked questions but did'nt irritate the help. Growing weed is not real difficult

            I've looked at a couple of other grow sites and without any doubt this site has the best info...and some great growers willing to help.

          Good job getting through a grow and having a smooth smoking bud!

          Not to jump on the bandwagon, but adding the information that people above have asked about would help. So would any pictures that you might have. And even then, it might be hard to pin down exactly what the issue was beyond generalizations. It really could be anything from lighting to nutrients to genetics or anything in between.

          This is a great place to get help, especially as you're going along so that you can give information about your environment, etc. and provide pictures in real time. I certainly hope that you grow again and if you have any questions as you go along, check out GWE website, take a look at the Plant Problems page that Nebula has on GWE, and if you're still stumped, post your questions here! There's surely someone here who's had the same problem and can help out or at least make some suggestions!

          Happy growing!

            Bag seeds most likely

              Thanks for all the suggestions, I kinda think I figured it out after the comments. Temp was 73 during the day, Mars Hydro light, used Advanced Nutrients run at 50%, ph was around 7', fed when watered, after all I think I may have harvested too fuckin early

                Well don't beat yourself up too bad, all of us when we first learned this hobby made those same errors got excited felt they were ready cause there were buds. Keep practicing and don't try and cram the tent with lots of plants if you don't have the space or enough light. You'll get it next run you'll know and it will get better an better. Hey when i first grew outdoors used bag seed i was 18yrs old smoked male flower did'nt even know the difference until a gardener told me LOL got headaches instead of buzz LOL

              There are a few potential reasons why your harvested cannabis buds have a light, fluffy texture and a "hairy" appearance. Here are some possible explanations:
              1. Harvesting too early: If you harvested your plants before they had a chance to fully mature, the buds may not have had a chance to develop their full potency and density. This can result in buds that are light and fluffy, with a lot of visible pistils (the "hairs" on the buds).
              2. Genetics: Different cannabis strains have different growth patterns and characteristics, including how dense their buds are. Some strains naturally produce fluffier buds than others, so it's possible that the genetics of your plants are contributing to the texture.
              3. Growing conditions: The conditions in which you grew your plants can also affect the texture of the buds. If the plants didn't receive enough light, nutrients, or water, they may not have grown to their full potential. Additionally, if the humidity levels were too high during the flowering stage, the buds may have become airy and light instead of dense and compact.
              4. Improper drying/curing: After harvesting, the buds need to be dried and cured properly in order to develop their full flavor, aroma, and potency. If the buds were dried too quickly or not cured for long enough, they may have a light and airy texture.

              To improve the density and texture of your buds in the future, consider adjusting your growing conditions (such as providing more light, nutrients, and water), harvesting at the right time, and properly drying and curing the buds.

                My first couple of grows were dog feces in terms of yield and overall results. It's a learning process and takes time. Some growers somehow manage to do everything right the first time and harvest two ounces per plant. This was not me. I still struggle with yield.

                  Your not alone OldManGrower . Try as i might I still cant get my environment right. Usually the winter grow does better than the the other two. Getting a good strain to fit my environment is serving me well. Jack Herer seems to do well for me if i can get it past the germ/veg stage. Let me know how those Critical+2.0 Autos do. I got freebees from Spain.

                  Hey dirtymike , you might consider adding Alaska Thunderfuck (aka. Matanuska Tundra) to potential strains for you for cooler climates. I'm doing a run of those that I started end of January/beginning of February. Coming from the Matanuska region in Alaska, they're pretty cold-tolerant. So far, they're doing really well! The max temps that I can get in the tent in my basement, even with a small heater running, is about 73 with low temps between 63-67 depending on how far below zero it falls outside and how windy it is.

                I was always told that the only stupid question was the one not asked, so here's mine: what are bag seeds, and I have to admit my cotton balls go down good with a bong.

                  Bag seeds are the seeds you find in a bag of weed you got your hands on. When I was a young bloke they were gold, we found a lot of keepers..not any more but occasionally you'll find some that are keepers...
