That is a pretty good haul, almost double my best single plant harvest.
Those buds should firm up after the cure. I am pleasantly surprised at how much some of mine firmed up.

What would you say the main culprit of airy bud masses are?
Light or energy wasted on popcorns?

Agreed with watering, I have always gone with the train of thought “why would we take such a vital element from our plants during the most important cycle??”
I feed and water until I pull the tap root
Remember tho, nothing super funky like a cup of banana sugar compost tea right before harvest tho 
They’ll need 3-4 days from those types of feedings to pass thru the plant unless you like smoking banana buds of course

Very true!
I cure mine in 5 gall brown paper bags that sit inside 5 gal buckets and it helps a ton to condense those buds into rocks!
Now I know the paper definitely pulls moisture out of them, but it also helps retain flavor profile the plastic would strip away.

Sounds hott
Remember if you plan to expand the wattage used know the ppfd at the canopy of plants, they will not use more than 1000 ppfd, over 1000 without supplementing other resources the thc will degrade
Also know it will create more heat and need to factor in cooling

So we could technically cook breakfast on an iron skillet and a rock?
Is that dry weight?
