I am currently growing 3 strains, super silver haze, chocolope and white rhino. I have six plants about 5 feet tall under 2000 watts in a 8x11 room. I have been using canna nutes and am using a mix of pro-mix BX and canna coco as my medium. My plants are currently 43 days into bud and two of the strains(chocolope and super silver haze) are starting to develope oddly, they are getting wide and fat at the top and get skinnyer as you go down the bud. Kind of opposite from the christmas tree shapes i have gotten in the past. I have no idea what is causing this and fear that with only 17 days or so left from when they are suppose to finish they arent going to fill in. What do you guys think could be causing this?
Buds are forming strange, fatter at top

mine didn't seem to turn out so bad but it only happened to 2 buds on one plant i just never questioned it.
i beat u to it haha
but that is great 2nd opinion
foxtailing sucks had it with bagseed grows in some strains never found real cause but there is a active thread now im subbed to on same subject
and i had a thread on it 2 yrs ago
first time it happened on few gave them a buzz cut and they took off crazy
but even before that it was bad it is like they reveg and just put out leaves and dont focus on the good shit
wait till others if they do post that had it tell u
it is like they never finish
is all plants effected or few

learn something new everyday. I have read about it but forgot about it until now even didn't remember when it happened to me. +rep for telling me what happened when I didn't even notice that it happened to me.
My tan dream foxtailed... I think sativas are morlikely to foxtail than indicas. And some sativas are more likely to do it than others. Heard sub say one time that sativas that are under too much light tend to foxtail. Which I believe, my tan dream was under a 1000 watt for 2 weeks by herself and that is when it seemed to foxtail

had that happen on one nug on a plant....that nug was quite a bit more leafy so thats the downside however there is something else that happens that looks like this and i just call it crowning where the tops all start kinda growing a couple new tips and kinda look like points of a crown growing out this seems to always happen as the bud is finishing right at the end and isnt a bad thing imo the later you leave them the more you will see this
but if full blown those tips make more tips and those make more covering main cola and shading it and u get airy leafy buds
mine were under same light from flower and they did it dont blame light
but i never have found a diffenite answer as to cus just hope i dont get more
Wow this makes me super sad, is there anything I can do now? The nugs are pretty dense now and id hate to have them get airy
