How to get bigger buds?

Just to add.. That Kushman's chiropractic technique is similar to a technique Ed Rosenthal describes as gently twisting/rubbing the stems between your fingers till they go limp...wait a while for recovery and repeat (throughout vegetative stage), it creates thicker stems for bud support and water.nutrient transport.

1) Quality seed/plant genetics 2) Bigger root space->Bigger roots-> Bigger plant above 3) Strong full spectrum light 4) Kyle Kushman's "Chiropractic technique" (less stress than HST and can be used with LST techniques) *Thickens stems ~ more water/nutrient transport ~bigger buds ...If it is your first grow, buds will fatten/put on most of its weight in the last two weeks of flowering when calyxes swell up. ..In addition to phosphorus, potassium is another critical nutrient for flowering stage, though you should try to have sufficient amounts of all nutrients..even nitrogen but in much much minute amounts
