My buds are very loose and open, I have dryed and am ready to do final trim and cure. How do I trim these down?

Pictures would help. If buds are light and airy then itās most likely due to lack of enough light.

Do you feel as though thereās a issue, question is a little open ended. Not exactly sure what you mean.

This was an outside grow. Lots of rain and dark days, had to cut due to mold starting to form. Trichomes still clear,just starting to cloud at 99 days. This was an auto Jack Herer.

What am I to expect with these buds? This is a first for me so as you can tell Im frustrated. Looks like it is mostly sugar leaves
Go thru with the cure, smoke what you can, donate to needy friends, and make the rest into edibles?

Itās a first grow and a first grow out doors, you didnāt loose your crop so thatās a success.
Your now armed with the knowledge of how hard it is to grow cannabis and produce nice buds, harder outdoors when in certain climates.
Investing in a greenhouse structure that you can cover or not cover depending on weather would be ideal. Starting them inside under a basic light for the first week maybe two would also be ideal.
When it comes to your buds, use this as a lesson to try and cure if you didnāt over dry them.
The smoke will be what it is, the best use of it would be to make an oil and then dose with that oil or edible but if your set on smoking then it is what it is.

Well it is certainly a situation I must deal with, thank you all for the follow ups. Growing outdoors is an on going learning experience as mother nature dictates the outcome and past years are moot.

Stick a little fire to it. You might get a delightful surprise. I agree with @Nicky you didnāt lose it to bugs rot or mold this was a successfulgrow The first time I grew it ended up looking like a deformed tomato plant with pistoles on the stems. Hope those little fluffy buds get you higher than

I have been growing outdoors a long ass time.
One year I lost an entire plant to white powdery mildew. 
This year I spotted what looked like the same thing starting. With the help of the experience within this community, I found out I could treat it with peroxide/water treatment. 
Saved my plants !! I forget about Google, besides itās way more fun learning here 
Anyway, your stuff donāt look bad. Personally, I would go ahead and just cure it as it is and enjoy.
My go to sayingā¦any Free Bud is better than no bud

I think we have all been there lol.
If it wasnāt for humans playing God we sure wouldnāt have alot of stuff we have today like the crazy plants we grow.
My dadās almost 80 and heās shocked at the quality of bud I can grow.
Like itās better than any hydro he got back in the 90ās and heās an old hippy whoās a doctor now so he spares no expense and has lots of connections.

I believe the THC content is much higher than back in the day. But ask your dad if he has smelled or tasted anything as good as original SKunk ? :::: Sigh :::: or his preference of limited strains
Iām into, I dunno week 6-7 of flowering Super Skunkā¦nope, doesnāt smell like it at all to me.
Back in the day Iād get 20-30 yards going into the woods and I could smell them. Now their right outside the windows of my house and I barely smell them.
Is it just me? I dunno But did we give up a little on smell and taste for increased potency?
Back in the dayā¦I would smoke a joint down to nothing because it taste so good. Today, got a buttload of rocheās in a can.
Maybe im just broken, Iām sure folks who read my posts are thinkingā¦stop crying about the skunkā¦

So I did ask my dad what strain he remembers and he said heās smoked so much thst nothing overly wowād him once his tolerance was decent.
He did mention Texada Timewarp as being just about as good as anything but heās been a fan of my Lemon AK 47 from fast buds and he enjoys Tangie.
But I want to make sure he tries, amnesia haze, green crack, super lemon haze, and Maui wowie. He likes my Bruce banner but not his favorite itās just good weed.
Heās looking for an energetic buzz sativa thatās what he always likes.
My Bruce banner was a good yielding version but not a true Bruce banner so Iām going to re grow one once I get rid of the 1.5lb I have laying around lol.
I remember being a kid and he had white rhino or white shark or something that was all the rage at one point.
Who is your skunk from? @Freebud whoās the breeder?
If itās not sensi seeds then your growing the wrong one.
I want to grows some senis seeds skunk to be honest and get that skunk like your speaking of its just about 4 grows away lol
