Foxtailing good or bad

starting to foxtail good or bad.

I never chop before I see a good amount of foxtailing.
Let them buds put on weight!

Foxtailing at 6 weeks bloom , I can do without it but it does no harm...

normal ... one of my favorite sativa strains "JTR" foxtails alot

anybody mind filling me in on what a "foxtail" is?

It's the extended growth usually on the highest point of a cola , see pictures ......

more foxtails / stacking calyx
it is more common with sativa dominated strains especially hazes
some folk think its pretty, others are not so keen
overall if the calyx are still dense/hard its not a problem

it can be a disadvantage in some cases plants foxtail because of heat stress
if there is a fair amount of stem and leaves among the foxtails then again it is not so nice as
a regular cola without the foxtails, its a density thing



peace

huh thanks i dont think ive experienced this before

Some strains (sativas ) are apt to it most of the time it's to much P . IMO

Depends on WHY it's foxtailing!

Some strains just do it-- it is in their geneitics- especially Sativas...

But some will do it because of heat stress...
if it is a strain you've grown before or you know others who have and it is NOT know to do it...
then you need to do something about the heat- maybe move it to a slightly shadier spot when the temps are over 85-90f in direct light....

In some strains Foxtailing adds weight-- others- it makes open and fluffy... again-- all in the genetics and environment.

But they look healthy and happy... if they aren't showing any other signs of stress-- leave em be!

Not usually a problem unless you're concerned about bag appeal.
