Huge buds only where leaves are dark waxy plastic feeling

I have an issue thats not really a problem. But have no idea whats going on. Some of my plants have super dark almost black leaves that feel like fake plastic leaves mostly towards the top of the plant. And where these leaves are the buds are huge and super dense compared to the rest of the plant. So it seems like whatever issue it is, is actually something that this plant loves. The mid to lower leaves normal. This is a strain thats unknown. Clones were given to me from a friend who doesn't have this issue and his plants don't have buds nearly this size. I grow in coco. Feed 3 times a day. House and garden nuits. 72 plants. 6 1000 watt DE. 3 different strains. Other 2 strains so zero sign of this. So I'm at a lost.

Big buds isnt always a good thing. They look fox tail-y and unhealthy. I'm guessing you overdid nutes- probably a Ph thing, maybe a nutrient thing. Try doing half of what you did next time, and only add more if it really needs it. Bare minimum is always best. They could end up looking ok, hard to say.
 
Just a bit too much feeding for her genetic appearance. Nothing to worry about as you said but you could reduce EC to 1.4-1.5 with this pheno if you're going to run it in future. Just a minor heat/high ppfd stress is seen at those upper sugar leaves.

See this is my wonder. Where the leaves are like this is where the buds are the best. Biggest. More dense.

They mature from the top down. If you leave the lowers log enough they will bulk up like the tops too!
