Hi Bandita “New Yorker”… 
From looking at your photos I wonder do you have habbit of cutting of big fan leaves at the finishing stage? From my tests I wouldn’t recommend it as sometimes it just pushes the plant to produce more small leaves but this time in the middle of the buds, which makes final product more leafy…
Keep up good work!
