I have these questions and I was wondering if someone could help me with this issue.

To fatten up, you need to lollipop them around day 21 of flowering, means removing anything below a certain treshold of your plant
Removing suckers will allow the plants to redirect energy to produce the nice buds
How much to remove depends on your light penetration, I had small plants in terms of height and kept around 30cm from the top, produced 560g for a 680w
For curing, first you will need to dry them nicely, so that they enter the jars in perfect condition, then after that all you need is patience, since it will take a few weeks, and have a hygrometer inside your curing jar, fill the jar 70% and open it twice a day for 10-15minutes the first few day, then after its only once a day for 5-10minutes depending on the hygrometer
You try to go around 58-62% of Relative Humidity
Enjoy

Welcome @Growindoor to our community. In my opinion, a good lamp is the first step to big buds. VPD also plays an important role for good growth. After that comes the right amount of fertilizer and water, decent soil with good drainage. Air exchange and the correct humidity should also be considered.

everything @herr_gruen told you is the basis, if you are referring to products, I use mpk, it is mineral, monopotassium phosphate 0-52-34

Depending on what grow stage you are at, good LST training during veg and judicious pruning just before switch and again 3 weeks into flower will ensure top buds are bigger and fatter. Good luck!

Look at grove bags for curing if you can get your hands on some. I cannot recommend them enough for someone new to growing. They take all of the guess work out of the curing stage.

I’ve yet to try Grove. Based on reviews of the zipper I went with sweet decades. Couldn’t be happier and would also recommend cure bags.

This is all really good advice. I just flipped my plan 5 days ago. They are just starting to stretch and I want the biggest and most flavorful buds I can grow. I did a decent job on LSD, So far all I did change the light schedule, and added some bloom nutes to my veg nutes. On Sunday I plan on starting CO2 I have the ACI Smart Controller with the two outlets on it. One for the CO2 tank and the other I’m going to hook up the exhaust fan, so the exhaust fan will only come on when the CO2 levels get too high. This is worrying me a little because I won’t be able to control the humidity or heat. I’m thinking that starting CO2 now before the bud sites start to form will lead to bigger buds. Others recommend to wait until 3-4 weeks into flower before starting CO2. I guess I’ll learn as I go, and I will definitely be lollipop in.

If you are not careful about it the zipper on them can be a little bit weak, the child resistant ones i feel have a stronger top on them and they last me longer.

I heat seal most of mine though so it isn’t as important to me
