Bud size..how does it work?

Okay, So i know everyone says that the last couple of weeks of the flower phase are the "most crucial" for "bud fattening". So what i want to know is, is there a scale by how much a buds density increases those last couple of weeks? 2x, 3x, 5x denser????? I figured people have come to realize the "flowering stretch" and could estimate how much a plant would grow, but what about this?? Anyone?
 
All depends on how you grow your plant - do lots of little tricks all the way through growing and I end up with buds averaging 2 - 5 grams each dried.
 
Hard to judge bud density like that. Sometimes bud density fools me after drying. You will see them bulk up, no doubt about that. How much, I think would depend on genetics.
 
Yes that’s the thing. Calyxes swell. And just like the stretch, how big and dense calyx structure gets its very much determined by genetics. Thai stick will always be lanky just like big bud will always yield big buds. Another thing to consider is calyx to leaves ratio
 
Yeah hopefully. But you won’t really know how dense until it’s dried, there are some seriously resinous plants with fluffy nugs but modern hybrids are guaranteed to grow nice buds :)
 
Check dr.grinspoon strain. Grows super weird with fat round calyxes covered in trichomes but they grow along the branch and don’t cluster into buds
