I was not happy with my buds 2 maybe 3 weeks before harvest. Sun was out every day for 17 days in a row with temps in the high 70's low 80's. At this time ( since this was all for fun anyway ) I started pulling off everything long enough to pull from the stalk without damaging the bud. It was amazing! My buds took off and nearly doubled in circumference and began to thicken to the very dense and substantial type. I am very happy.
