Hard Crispy Bud Leaves?

Im really close to harvest just a couple more days. I have one plant with really crispy and hard bud leaves. They are also all twisty. Is this overfertalization or what? What could it be?

BTW its an outdoor grow. Temperatures are crazy right now. Pretty much what SoCal is throwing at them. Today it was 100 degrees but last week it was 60 degrees.

hey dude i had the same thing on one of my plants this year, used nutes in a really low dosage once in the last month so it wasn't that for me. bud turned out fine though, leaves were just a bit crispy haha. some of my leaves were kinda weird lookin too, nothin crazy just some rounder ones. I don't know what causes this though, maybe someone else does..

My leaves are really crispy like if I put a little force they snap right off. And the bud seems to be really dry.

Any help guys? Should I be worried?

It means they're done. The reeason its crispy like that is because its dead

from fdd's harvest tutorial


we will start with ripeness. most people say to check your trichromes with 30X magnification. i have other ways. when buds are done they look "done". the appearance of the bud changes. the leaves start to hook upwards and become hard and crispy. the calyxes will swell and the hairs will turn brown. you can see a golden tinge to the bud leaves. this is the amber crystals. they start to turn amber on the leaves first.

ready.......






notice the difference? it's pretty easy to see once it occurs.

What a relief! Yay harvest in 2 days
