Generally kif is much more potent than the bud it came from weight-wise but it really varies. Also watch out for punk dealers that really WILL try to sell you bud covered in stuff like fine sand or glass...
I'm not trying to be an ass but I just don't want people reading this thinking it's true. There is no strain out there that is bred that isn't meant to be potent, the only type of Cannabis grown that is meant to be not potent is Hemp strains which are used to produce hemp products. If you're weed is mids there is always something that contributed to the degrading of the quality of the weed. And trichomes protecting the plant is one of it's tasks rather it's from a high-quality strain or used for Hemp production. And sunlight has nothing to do with with the negative effects a plant might face during grow since the only time the sun is out is during the time the plant needs it anyways. Heat only affects trichomes in a negative way when the plants are harvesting.
