How to get solid buds vs fluffy/airy buds?

[XanderBogaerts]

So I got my first auto grow finished, just messing around learning. I don’t count my first plant because the timing got fucked up and it threw everything off. But on both plants I’ve had very fluffy airy flowers, not solid like the bud from a dispensary. I attached a photo, maybe you can tell but is there something that is contributing to this? I got a new light for my next grow. It’s a 4x6 Tiller & Rowe 3 setting grow LED light. I didn’t get it until 3/4 through this grow so I don’t know how my crappy lights effected the plants but. It’s a quick one auto from RQS.

Usually fluffy buds are due to not strong enough light or high heat, but it kinda looks like a lot foxtails there which is usually from high heat and too much light. Im trying to figure out what I’m looking at though, is this a whole plant??

Yea so it was a whole plant but those pictures are mid harvest. Here are some of the entire plant (short squatter) and my hygrometer data. I lost it halfway through so I had to get a new one and lost the initial data.

Good genetics, enough lighting, and nutrients too much N in flower will cause loose airy buds some strains are airy no matter what

Yeah I have my Northern Lights Auto just breaking into flowering(even though it was started the same time as the other “quick one” plant and the timelines were the same basically) and it looks like the flowers will be a bit denser on this plant. I harvested the first one mid October so why it’s such a big difference is confusing.
