Light airy buds are usually caused by high temperatures, If you're using LEDs they can tolerate a little higher temps.

Or now that I think of it.. not enough light will give you some real lightweight buds.

im useing a HPS dimmerble 600w if thats any help thanks

You'd want that 24-in when your in veg and 18-in when you're in flower, must be your daytime temps that are giving you issues or you need to do training and clearing out to get more light on your buds.

That light will only penetrate about 18 inches down on a plant so you really want to maximize that space, by spreading branches out maybe topping once or twice. It would also be good in my opinion for just two plants medium sized.

Thanks jingo think you have sorted my problem do i need to trim so light can get in to middle of plant if so ive not been doing that just trimming round edges so to speak but on light it is bright enough i think so i will try better clearing thanks a lot denise

Oh yeah, you'll want to take out all the spindly little branches that grow up through the middle of the plant and get tiny little buds on them. You really want to clear everything out but a certain number of dominant tops. then as you get later on in the grow you can clear everything out below that 18-in penetration spot and don't even bother growing little tiny popcorn buds down there.

Thanks thats what im doing wrong but we all have to learn just one more Q if you dont mind do i need a little condensation in tent or not i try to keep it dry thanks denise

[Jingo]

I wouldn't want any condensation on the tent walls or on any of the leaves of the plants, they can mold the leaves where they come together and all kinds of things on the walls of the tents. So if you're getting that you need fans blowing a little bit harder oscillating and maybe more air moving through the tent. As you start to trim and focus on some key branches you'll have less vegetation in there just wastefully respirating and using up nutrients.
