LED grows and foxtailing buds.. common trait in all LED grows?

Could be. My last grow I used an HLG Quantum board and the plants under that light had stupid crazy amounts of foxtailing. But it was a different strain than I had ever grown before, so I cannot definitively blame the led.

"LED lights do not cause any kind of nutrient deficiency; purple streaks on stems and petioles are a normal response to exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light. It can also be a Mg deficiency."

This is directly from an LED university study and absolutely a true statement. Half you guys just run your mouths, and have nothing to back it up. I'd recommend everyone do your own research and not rely on some poster(s) on a pot site.

cognitive bias in which people with low ability at a task overestimate their ability. It is related to the cognitive bias of illusory superiority and comes from people's inability to recognize their lack of ability.


Whats an "led university" ? Post the link.

Did you grab the cross x lamb's bread? I don't recall the labeling on the pack i had, it was maybe 18 months ago.

Those look nice bud. Which strains are you growing? Are you soil testing or testing your buds?

Holy that’s a lot of power. I run a 2x4 at about 55w a square foot. Your at like 80 lol

i added dimmers to every channel so i have a lot of flexibility. I have found that growing sativa dominant plants that are good yielders is the best use of the wattage. it can be too much for wide leaf cultivars, hence dimmers, also this wattage requires that nutrition be on point. I try to start with loads of available Ca, P and micro's then bump up K after 12/12. I am still perfecting my strategy.

Been mostly white LEDs for 7 years and and have very tight buds. Foxtailing is a bit less of a problem since heat may be a factor there. I'm speaking of the thin unproductive type late in flower as opposed to a semi foxtail bud structure in some strains. That late foxtailing is about worthless and fucks up your inner trimming peace.

I think it's pretty clear that after looking at some of the pictures here and seeing @bk78 shit show grow that foxtailing is not commensurate with LED. There's obviously got to be other factors going on with some led grows on the board that make it seem as though it is related to LED grows and foxtailing.

hey why not just trim off the foxtail as it's getting started? I have 1 of 3 w a bit of foxtailing I wanted to see if there is any benefit or disadvantage to just snipping it off. I'll post up pics.

Keep us posted on your findings never really thought of snipping off foxtails as they grow

I'm thinking we r taught to run too high of ambient temps maybe with led, and that could be causing the foxtailing that sometimes occurs? Strain related too maybe.
