Smalls vs Big Buds: Does Size Decide Quality?
Big buds make a stronger visual impression.
Smalls are less dramatic.
That does not make bud size a complete quality grade.
Smalls Can Come From the Same Plant
Smaller and larger buds can come from the same plant, cultivar or batch.
Big Buds Have More Bag Appeal
Larger buds often display flower structure clearly.
That is a presentation advantage, not proof of potency.
Small Buds Can Still Be Frosty
Bud size and visible trichome coverage are separate characteristics.
Big Buds Can Still Be Too Dry
Size does not tell you moisture or storage history.
Price Is Separate
Current pricing can differ by product and package.
