Compare these 2 buds. How do get this result

I'm not a new grower. I've grown poem good tasting and smelling Bud for years now. But sometimes I see product from other people it looks very different from mine. Check out these 2 photos. The less smooth bud resembles the stuff I produce. It's dense and looks good. But this other photo is smooth, hard, and when I see buds like this they smell amazing. I do a good slow dry and a 2 week cure. Is there something else I can do to make my buds look like this?

They rolled it in kief. You know, oak aged, kief rolled. Plain weed is weak as fuck so that's probably why.
I have plenty of kief, usually 100g from a harvest. Would it be advisable to roll my harvest in kief or would people think I'm hiding something?

That's how you make use of your trim and at the same time make your weed more potent and flavorful. Spray with Everclear so the kief will stick and toss around in a glass bowl with kief until evenly coated. Let Everclear dry. You got yourself some keif-coated. I don't know if that actually works, just speculating. Maybe just water instead.

A lot depends on the strain. Sativa or sativa heavy strains tend to be looser, opposite for indicas which are denser.

But agree the 2nd bud in your pics has been rolled in kief. Waste of kief in my opinion just for cosmetics.

But I'm getting a quarter pound of kief every cycle. It's good and knocks my dick in the dirt but no one really wants to take it in bulk and I don't mess around with a gram or 2 at a time. Im thinking if I can put it back into the bud, make people even happier then it would be a good use. Do you think people would like it better? Also, any other liquid I could use besides hash oil? I would think use water for mold reasons. Also, I tried various YouTube vids on how to make e cig juice from kief but every recipe ruins my vape. Anyone have any thoughts on that?. And thank you

Take that kief, use the attached recipe, make some 100mg caps and give every customer that buys your bud a couple of caps to try, they'll be back looking for those caps, they sell for $3.00 each in bulk ;)

Excellent. Thank you so much. The 100mg refers to the amount of kief in the gel caps or the entire weight of the coconut oil and kief in the gel caps?

If you follow the base recipe, 2.3 grams of kief will make ~21 "00" size caps. There's 2.3 grams total kief divided by 21 caps = 110mg inside each cap. To increase the dosage, add more kief, to decrease put less kief in there, maintain the same volume of coconut oil.

After drying for a few days while the bugs are still sticky roll them around in a jar with kief then dry and cure as normal and sell them as a premium product.

It's possible that it's just a strain with a lot of trichs. Keif would drop off of it.
not really. I milk my trim for all its worth. I dry it, break it apart gently (no blenders because that ruptures the trichomes and causes the liquid to decay. faster) Then I freeze the trim, and place it in a trim bin. I place small handfuls of trim into the trim bin. Then I use a percussion massager. One of those powerful hand massagers you find at the Brookstone store and sweep it back and forth over the kief screen and the vibrations cause the stuff to rain down. I then refreeze the trim because once the trim gets room temperature the kief resticks to the plant matter. After 3 freezes and runs it gets to a point where another pass isn't worth it. Like diminishing returns. Like 50g, then 12.5g, then 3g, then the 4th pass is usually less than a gram.
