Grow room 4x8 tent
2x 1000w hps

2 18in oscillating fans .
Spare room has window unit keep room temp at 72 . Grow room temps indirect light is 78 to 81
Canopy level 82 to 85
Canopy height to lights 18 to 22 in

Can go into detail bout nutrients if. Need be

Idk if this is a bad sign or just the strain cause
My king tuts ain't doin this. But seeing some what I think is light fox tailing mayb kinda unsure if it is this or if it's bad or good .

I don't believe that is "foxtailing" But may be "knuckles" Calyces building on calyces! I had two "The Black" strain in my tent I took one earlier and the one I left did exactly what yours is doing! It is thick and sugar leaves are buried inside the flower it will only get more knuckled up the longer you leave it.

Kind of the "elephant man" of bud! It isn't very pretty! I am going to just turn mine into ice water hash!

Fox tails are when the flower shoots up out of the top, long and spindly extension!


Again this is only my experience, others may have differing thoughts

I'd put that down to genetics making a last effort push
Looks nice too good job

Environmental foxtails really open up the bud structure and yours look nice and dense also the whole bud elongates

Yea these buds r the size of Soda cans , palm of ur hand and there rock solid buds
The 3rd pic is the king tuts they ain't doin any of that but the ssh I can't remember is dinafem or greenhouse super Silver is what they call there strain , I did have his happen to some autos I green early last year and they all did this but I had them under shat is now my veg tent setup and it's 2x 400w genesis bulbs , I run mh then hps not hps all way threw ,but them buds was really worse then these I have now and they was fluffy and light these r like rocks what confused me ... so u think it's more the strain or mayb lil stress ect ????

It really wasn't that bad trimming which I watch a ol boy a while back which brings a lot of controversy on but he did defoliation at like week two light until harvest and I started doin that and let me tell ya it made a world of difference all around. But having those two 1000w brighter then the sun suckers whoowee I didn't no what I was missing when I was flowing with two 400w good lord ...

Bad thing is I hate to say but I didn't keep a cut from the silvers .. ugh . They were great hoping just one seed is found so I can keep it for future ... king tuts did great to but i moved on to money maker , chemdawg 4 , delicious candy as a feebee , trainwreck by medican seeds , and got a Afghan kush as a free Also but running the Chem and money comin up gonna clone them for a while then throw in a delicious or a train wreck and swap out ,y'all had any history with any of those ...

Now Would that be the calyces swelling to ripeness I've heard we're og growers harvest when these swell along with other things I'm just wondering since my ssh r 90/10 sat indica , if these r swelling early due to the indica trait

Yes I believe it is the calyce's swelling...which is the normal ripening progression too I think sometimes they just start stacking calyce's on calyce's! Maybe someone else has more knowledge as to whathe makes it happen!

The strain is The Black. Indica dominant old school strain out of BCS bud depot!

Called The Black as it is really purple and dark! My avatar is it also, in early stage of flower.

Thanks for the compliment

Cheers
