Good Or Bad Foxtailing?

week from harvest? doesn't look it but that's for you to judge.
anyway what strain? (some naturally foxtail) how hot? (other major cause of foxtail)
Thanks for your reply.
I see what you mean, still a lot of white pistals. I hope I do gave more than a week so they can fatten more but if it is bad foxtailing, I think I'd need to harves sooner rather than later.
It's blue cheese which apparently naturally fox tails?

I would agree more than a week left and it might be the strain but im leaning more on the heat side since your leaves are cupping
Yeah, it's blue cheese so it can happen naturally but like you say, the leaves in it make me think it might be re-vegging?? Or that it's happening from light strain/heat damage. Because of this, I've lowered my light ballast to 400w from 600w with boost

Well whats the temps like? Do you have any light leaks are your lights on 12 12? I dont think its revegging. I wouldnt harvest any sooner than the trichs tell you to. Foxtailing just makes for some ugly buds and trimming a bit harder. They still smoke the same

Your going to think I'm stupid but, I don't have a thermometer or humidity meter :/
When I open my 1m x 1m tent, it doesn't feel too hot or humid in there. I live in uk and my house is cold so should be ok?

I rather have fox tailed bud then premature crap. Still needs two maybe three more weeks to go.

You need to get one man you can pick o e up at most hardware stores for like 10 dollars. Youd be surprised how high temps can be at canopy level. What kind of light are you using

I know, my friend keeps saying I need one :/

I've grown Barney Farms Blue Cheese for years. And have only seen foxtailing like that under high temp situations. Notice how the leaf tips are up turned and how they are cupping, sure signs of heat stress.

Thank you, that's great help. I have reduced my light hours to 13 dark 11 light, opened a second air vent in my tent and reduced my wattage on my light ballast to 400w. Hopefully this will help it recover :)

I doubt it was good buddy. Foxtailing is not good and is caused by stress of some sort plain and simple. If it's foxtailing like that your environment is wrong got that strain
