Calyx turning dry brown

Can anyone identify the cause?
I had a small spider mite outbreak a couple weeks ago, which I took care of, and I may have been overwatering to compensate for the hot summer. They’re not really a soft and mushy brown though, They’re more dry and brittle.

hi mate. you may want to hit up the intro section and join up for the fun. i see you have a post count of 1.
it's best to include some details or you won't get much for answers.

have a look through this : How to Ask for Grow Support

have you been reveging ?

how many hours of daylight are you getting ? i see single blade leaves everywhere. it looks like the bud either died back as it is reveging and is not making bud, or you are getting attacked by a mold or rot. possibly a bit of both.
 
Welcome to the group. There is a lot of good info here which will help get just about every problem under control.

When I first looked at the photos yesterday my thought was maybe a start of a mold or rot. But the stems do not seem to be affected it so we gotta think of other possibilities.

@bluter brought up, there are a lot of single finger leaves and the edges do not have the right look to the serration points. Many times this is caused by a change in the lighting schedule. Step back several feet and take a photo showing the whole plant. Just need one, maybe two pictures, to give an idea of how the plant is growing plus someone might see something that the rest of us are missing.

Were you growing outside and then inside? Or growing inside and then took the plant or plants outside? It kind of looks like the plants are or were outside for awhile.

What will really help to eliminate possible causes is to tell us where you are. If you can mention what country. We do not need to know the city or anything that specific, just the country. That helps in two ways because it will help us know what the weather is where you are at and what the daylight and night time hours are.

And the second thing is someone who lives in the same country might see your message and be familiar with problems in that area.

Theyve been outdoors the whole time in California
 
were these supposed to be autos ?

edit : you are probably just hitting 12 / 12 right now, which would put you near the start of flower unless you are running an auto. i'm guessing it's an auto with weak genetics, there has been a couple show up recently with the same issue on the board.
 
I picked these up as clones from a dispensary. They weren’t advertised as autos.

Outdoor plants in the northern hemisphere start to flower in early to mid August when the amount of good strong sunlight has dropped to 12 hours. That first and last hour of the "daylight" is so week that the plants see it as nighttime.

Check the Lux for an overcast mid-day as compared to a clear sky at dawn or dusk. That sunlight at dawn and dusk just is not enough.

The photos showing the whole plant are letting us see some nice stems with 6 or more inches of stacked buds. Those all look good.

Are the problem buds located more on the inside of the canopy? Maybe they just are not getting enough light during the day and the plant is sacrificing those small bits of greenery so the better buds can get as much nutrients as possible.

i took a look at the daylight hours. it was about 12 / 12 when the op posted.

when examining this pic you will notice several single blade leaves, with the majority having little or no serration, indicating reveg pretty strong.

Its happening at the base of all the buds. Also thank you, I appreciate you guys taking your time to help. @bluter @SmokingWings

if it's only at the base then it's probably only stuff the plant would sacrifice anyway
 
By the leaves it looks sativa dom. Some sativas do not rely on day length to start flower. Temperature, light spectrum and humidity tell equatorial sativas when to flower since day length doesn't change much. Cali covers a big area but I have a friend in Santa Monica. He has been complaining that it has been unusually wet and hazy/fog for the last few months until a week or two back. You could be displaying that genetic trait. That could trigger a false start on flowering then brief reveg. when it cleared. You are too far into flower for photo start this time of year. As long as you don't see mold or mites it should work it's self out.
 
Could be mold,bugs or deficiency due to underwatering. With underwatering calcium can't be absorbed due to root tip dieback and you get something akin to blossom end rot in tomatoes.

Did your plants ever get too dry and droop? Cloth pots outside can be tricky to keep evenly moist.
