mhh better phrasing: what's the mistake when the buds have too many leaves in it or is it only defined by genetic?
Polyploid????
Polyploidy is a mutation that causes numerous leaves surrounding the bud. Looks like this
ahhh ok, no thats not what i meant, but thanks! it's more a general question about what makes your buds too leavy. is it temp, humidity, co2, any nutrients, just the gen or something else..? everyone knows that a "cfl bud" mostly contains more leaves than under hp-lights.. only a difference in the light causes that?
Leaf to calix ratio differs between strains. Have you grown this particular strain before? More leaf than usual? Otherwise you might just have a leafy strain.
Pics would help. If you're getting leafy growth at the top of the buds, you might have a light leak.

I use a 150. How close was the lamp to the canopy? A 150 needs to be within inches. It's good for 3 square feet of footprint. Any more and you get less lumens per sq foot.
Can you take a pic or three and post here? You have a pic limit until you get ~50 posts but a look see would help. The smallest light leak could cause excess leafy growth in flower. In this case the plant(s) is/are reverting to veg stage.
Even a tiny hole in a cab, tent, closet etc is bad if light shines through. Doesn't have to be much light. Anything you can see could disturb the cycle. Good luck.
Your english is better than mine.

too much nitrogen gave me leafy buds as a young grower.
Yep, I got the claw so bad my plants didn't look like weed, lol.
i think he wants to know what causes leafy buds.
