Is there any specific methods for getting denser stickier buds during the curing process? Or is this more dependent on genetics?

Has more to do with lights and environment

Its pretty much purely genetics and upbringing conditions a nice slow dry helps a tiny bit but i know some dealers used to and probably still throw pillows on the bag od loose buds to fake compact it to make them technically more dense

Good question , I will say this if you’re growing autos they tend to produce fluffy buds not all strains but some. Also quality lights will play into the end product. As Mentioned shoot for a slow drying process. 7 to10 days 65 to 69ﾟ 40 to 50 humidity. Good luck An welcome to the community

The density of buds IMHO is mostly a result of better lighting. The best genetics cant overcome poor or insufficient lighting. What lights do you use??

You wont get any denser than when it was cut it stops growing and creating trichomes

I’m finding that there’s a fine line between to much light, and not enough. To much light and they foxtail. I just switched to an hlg 350r, and switched at week 7 of 12/12. I cranked it up, and got foxtails pretty quickly. Getting ready to start an OG kush, and will use this light from start to finish, so we’ll see.
