This makes no sense. Of course it makes a difference.
does underfeeding affect bud size?

Dude doesn't know what he us talking about.
He should try growing in hydro with no nutes and an inert medium. Plant will die very quickly.
Novice growers who grow in soil can't use high concentrations of nutes. It will burn a plant and cause lockout. For this reason novice growers have this mind set that nutes don't work.
Both hydro(me) and organic growers, more so the organic growers have a deeper understanding of mechanisms that make plants tick.
And underfeeding won't only affect yield, it will cause the plant to consume itself and die.

Yes it does but not a level you would actually see, till you were growing taller plants. The other point is if your growing Indica's and high Indica crosses.....A 600 is really all you'll need!
Why 600 and 1K seem so close is that they both get the plant to the "light saturation point". This begins to effect the plant earlier then many think. At that "point" the plant begins to change on the cellular peptide level to "protect" it's self from the intense light of the day. At night, the plant reverts or changes back to the original 100% light receptive "mourning plant". This effect reduces photosynthesis and therefor overall plant growth by as much as 35%......The use of Co2 counters this effect and what you are doing is recovering this 30+ percent by delaying the "saturation point". Thus allowing the plant to photosynthesize at it's full rate...
There, now you learned something today!

makes a difference to yield as 1000w will cover more space
but to bud size of the individual plants/colas that is genetics, 600w provides enough light at the canopy level
happy growing

Are you a professional ?

By definition, yes. I get paid for growing.
I have people that I employ to help. I also consult on a couple grows.
It seems as if you are implying that I don't know what I'm talking about.
You take 2 words out of a post and ask a very vaugue question.
What are you really asking?

Guys going back onto subject... I'm currently using big bud and on the bottle it says use from week 2 of flower. Is this nute not a pk booster? On another grow I use a Dutch nutrient called explode and once again that starts from week 2 and I was under the impression that was a pk booster too... Now, you guys are saying a pk booster should only be used for a week or 2 from week 5. I'm confused if indeed big bud and explode are OK boosters why they say to start from week 2?... Unless of course these aren't ok boosters??

who ?
who ?
i am not impressed with most of the organic growers i encounter, many of the soil growers do ok, many of the hydro growers have no clue
keeping the plant healthy is all that is required, many folk struggle to keep a plant green until harvest
You originally made all these statements/generalizations, anyone being so bold must be a professional i thought
