If the bud wasn't very strong after drying, it may not get much stronger. There is a lot that goes into making the bud turn out real sticky icky and strong. If it was bag seed, that may have been why. It's best to get well known strains that are strong producers, and learn all that goes into growing top shelf bud. Genetics is probably the most important thing, but you got to know what you're doing with nutes, light, heat, etc.
