Hey again Harley….I read that article by Ca Light Works a few days ago, but thanks for sending it over.

The pots are light and I’m gonna feed tomorrow. The last two times it’s been a small dose of Big Bloom only, which is organic and a very diluted composition of 0-.5-.7. I fed only 15ML per gallon. It seems like in the last week or so the buds have started to produce these really really thick pistils. When they first exit the calyx they could fool you for a nanner. But they quickly separate from a big ball into individual hairs. They’re growing everywhere. I’ve read about certain plants that continue to produce these types of heavy thick pistils indefinitely….even after the trichs are turning amber. I dunno…the plants have been stressed a bit and perhaps that Is having some effect.
I have some organic Buddha Bloom, which is similar to the Big Bloom I’ve been feeding. The main difference is it’s less diluted and Has a touch of N…..it’s .5-2-1. I was considering giving an equivalent dose of it in lieu of the Big Bloom.
Do you have any thoughts on the sudden influx of these unusually large pistils? And am I screwing up by giving the Buddha Bud??

That's a first for me. Definitely sounds interesting. I'd give it. Doubt you caused it. Might have triggered it but I guess we'll never know.
i looked and looked online and I’m pretty sure it’s foxtailing….not the bad kind but def looks like it. Every pic of strains that had foxtailing genetics looked exactly like I’m describing. This pic for example is what I’m seeing on my buds.

I get foxtailing every once in a while. I stopped worrying about it since I'm not selling anything. It's hard to trim pretty. But otherwise it smokes or gives it up for extracts just fine.
I’m taking your advice for sure. They are autos and I’ve been running 18/6 at close to full intensity. I turned the intensity down a smidge and added an hour of darkness on both ends….so 16/8.
If you read through the thread I show a pic of exactly what my buds look like. Not sure how reputable “grow weed easy dot com” is, but they explain it as genetic foxtailing. Their suggestions were the same as yours.
The pain in the ass factor is sky high, because those thick clusters of pistils look just like a nanner when they first show…..so I spent the better part of 2hrs w/ the microscope looking things up and down trying to get the jump on any nanners…..maybe I’ll be lucky and the one I found yesterday will be a Lone Ranger.
Thanks for Chiming in and lending your help.
