Benzelsanswered grow question 3 years ago Unless your plant is too close to the light and is getting crispy from that. Once the light has been on a few hrs, hold your hand a few inches from the top of the crispy bud, hold it there for a good 60-80 seconds and if it feels a bit warm then its heat burn on the buds. Totally forgot about that but hey im baked as right now.. lols.
