Maybe try some photoperiod plants as well. It's important to note that the buds will swell pretty late into flower as well. Some of the plants I've grown have taken forever to get real swole. If you're wife is looking for more of a couch lock effect you'll also want to wait for a decent amount of your trichomes to be amber so you'll want to wait longer which is good for swollen fat calyxes.

in addition to a better light youll have better success with photoperiods. autos are bad. i recommend greenpoint seeds
From the look of your harvest, you were able to successfully grow and keep your plants healthy, so if you are truly going to 3x your wattage from the wall over the same space, you should get better results I would say.
Mostly just posting to suggest you get feedback on the light you pick before you pull the trigger, and that 3x the wattage is more heat to deal with, so be ready for that too!

Buds go through lots of changes when curing. Plenty of times my buds went into jars dry, fragile, and crumbly, after initially drying. After curing for a few weeks, buds get dense.
You have to cure properly, using air tight canning jars/Mason jars. Pressure builds up while curing, and if your jars aren't absolutely air tight, it'll take much longer and the results won't be as good. Curing is so important!

BTW, like with any hobby, it takes some learning and practice. Want "effortless", just go buy it. Nobody has ever picked up a guitar for the first time and played like Eddie Van Halen, or even like someone who's been practicing for only a month.
Read up, its worth the time

I see a bud that went through a lot of handling next to a bud thats fresh dried and not trimbinned or processed

I wouldnt sweat it. Time and handling will smooth it all like that but i bet it aint no better on the smoke. Your bud just not packaged and beat against other things ( buds kief sifting screens etc) thats why dispo weed looks tgat way. They beat all the surface trichs off and extract the pile
Exactly. The bud looks like a fine home grown bud that developed normally for the amount of light it was given. Nothing to complain about.
Let's assume your genetics were fine and that with more light they will produce more. Stick with your plan to increase wattage with better spectrum. Adjust for the heat and increased food demands. Learn your strain and what it likes and needs to produce. Learn what stresses it. Dial it in.
I only try to make incremental changes if possible. In your case if your are increasing wattage only, you will increase heat. If LED you can run a bit hotter and the plants will like it. You will want ventilation, but you won't want a cold room. I keep mine around 28 to 29c day, 25 to 26 at night and need to update my grow journal badly to show my latest progress.

Not sure. I know that the Mason jars with the gasket are kind of the standard, but I imagine any container that remains air tight under pressure will work.
