IMO humidy and temp do not contribute to buds being thin as long as we are talking real world temps here. Excessive humidity will facilitate mold growth and is not optimal when drying. Excessive humidy affecting growth is a matter of the strains origins and how stable it is in that type of enviroment i.e. thai bud.

Excessive temps will lead to stagnation of plant growth and transition from life stages.

If you got skimpy bud off of your last harvest then either light and nutes were not adequate or it is just the gentics of the plant. More info on the grow and the seed origin is needed in order to give a more accurate answer.
Also, never judge the buds by when they are on the plants as they drop considerable size with loss of water as do most living things.
