What do I need to fatten my buds and properly cure them!

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

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’re referring to products, I use MPK; it’s 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!
