Yes, to both. There are 2 phenos, and they present like the 2 pics you posted. One had the tight buds. I harvested that one , but lost the top 4" to bud rot or mold at the center of the colas. The other pheno's buds look exactly like the 2nd pic, and are airy. I checked the light and it was not excessive. Temps this time of year do not exceed 80F. Could the airyness be a trait of that particular pheno? The entire plant has the same bud structure as the 2nd photo, top and bottom.
They both were manifolded, and grew quite robustly, with 2'+ colas. I worried too much about the grow because it was the first time I'd grown this strain, and it got way out of hand insofar as the height. The both of them grew more than 3 times their flip height. Something else I had never encountered. We'll see what the next 2 weeks hold. The airy buds seem to be getting fatter/heavier, and I reshuffled everything so there can't be any stress on the ladies. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Thanks for your attention to my concerns, NebulaHaze.
