Foxtailing at the end of flower

Mine is 8500btu or 5000 sacc btu rating for 150 square foot in my 100 sq ft room. I can get the temps as low as I want them but idk if the sizing is why. I have about 500w almost in leds on at once in the room. The other half turns on when they turn off.

Mine is 13,000 BTU but I can't get it close enough to the tent to get the temps low enough :cry:
 
Oh gotcha. That sucks but 29c if thats 84f thats a pretty good improvement anything more for a average time would scortch it a bit. I think its true when they say plants like enviorments humans like so if youre uncomforable as are the plants.
 
They do have to be pointed just right, as small as my 100sq ft room is one side can be 10F higher than other or more. Same with rh so I have two dehueys and the ac pointing at center of room. To even out its cooling effect.

Its funny cause I always knew moving cool air to hot area cools the area. So they are heat pumps that pump heat out of the room but the -20F air coming out of it also cools the room. If not more effective than where it absorbs the heat.

So I believe ya if youre saying its obstructd from being able to get to a hot spot.

Foxtailing or just genetics maybe? Or is it down to it's final push at producing bud? Too much heat? or something? :confused:
 
Huh, thats a good one, idk. What is its usual flower time? If week 6 out of like 9 it very well could just be growing especially if there are whites generally throughout the buds top and bottom. I guess I dont understand foxtails that much, that one I showed also had like what looked like 3 different molds growing in it including budrot.

It just kept foxtailing until dimmed light but triggered stress hairs where it was just budding nonstop. You could tell by larf buds that it was a badly foxtailed plant. Buds overall just had that never ending bud build structure sometimes normal but not that plant.

Then I had stress hairs later on in my perpetual clone grows pretty often from gnats then aphids too. Root rot as a result. So my 8-10wk pheno was 12wks and still pushin white hairs. Like it needed 14 wks. Partly also because I lacked plant training so had many larf buds with no light so that didnt help. It didnt stop it from being 100% orange hairs in a other tent though.

Hope that helps, so in short, if its known to go 10wks give it 11 or 12 and if its still pushin out whites.. And you know you have some potential causes then consider chopping with mostly red hairs. I would tweak the setup tho and refer to notes try to figure out what went wrong. For next time. If you ran it a few times from seed.

Between seeds they can have a different harvest date because of that and even as clones, I have a 4 week window. I grew it for almost 2 yrs too. If its just the tops and they are growing that crown you saw in my example pic, thats a good sign to confidently chop. I was told those can go on indefinetly if not corrected or chopped if it just kept going.

Or else LOL if just turns into my picture which didnt intend to be such a extreme example available to find and show. Its up there with some of the most extreme ever seen. And its my plant lol.

The usual flower time for this strain is between week 9 and week 10. I'm currently on week 8 and the foxtails on the ends of the buds only showed up on week 7. Most of the pistils are orange now, I think she's got about a week or 2 left until I harvest them. Hopefully mine doesn't get bud rot
 
Ok then I still stand by what I said. It can be tricky I hate when that happens. I solved major issues tho and it paid off because theyre finishing ok for a perpetual grow.

Lovely plant! I just wanted to chime in and say I've had foxtailing from too much heat, light, senescence and genetics. I don't really worry about foxtails as I've found they only change bud structure. I don't sell so it wasn't an issue and my yield was fine and it pressed and smoked great.
 
I've read through his thesis, which he defended and is Dr. Mitch as of 8/24, and have attached a copy. One thing that you'll see in various parts of the document is that when he discusses how the plants reacted to changes in the grow environment, one cultivar may have had a negative impact but the other one that was tested didn't. Despite the fact that there were small differences in how they reacted, the "Discussion" sessions tend to recommend a given course of action because his belief is that, overall, it's better to do X even though the different cultivars reacted slightly differently.
I don't see the document being attached to messages. Click harder?

It's a 19 mb file so, perhaps, too big to upload. :-(

Opened the PDF in Word and saved it as PDF and, like magic, it's <5 mb.

I don't have best pic but this is kritcal Kush from unknown breeder. Doesn't have nice fat indica leaves I'm used to. It's at 10 weeks plus a few days not sure what it's doing, a couple green spots in buds looking like reveg while the rest is coated in trikes and all orange pistols like 88% I was hoping to see some amber just a little for the sedative effect but being a indica I'm hoping cloudy will do. Ill have to chop in four days regardless with temps coming exhaust in room so. Is there anything to speed up ripen process like dim light. Need this plant for sleeping for edibles and tincture. Thanks bud

I mean, not really any way to speed up really. It just finishes when it does but can try 9/15 lighting. It might signal to plant to finish faster as days are shorter. If early enough in veg could do gas lantern routene to make it even more faster. They say it works and my clones are finishing ablut a week or two faster but could he just healthy plants finishing faster as thats another way to speed things up.

For indica sedative high I mean, most of them are like that to me anyway lol. Some genetics amber heavily before its even time to chop like my pheno does.

Yeah that was my plan in beginning to try gas lantern to finish earlier just forgot will have to try on next run. I'll reduce light now a couple hours anyway and maybe she'll ripen a little more,thanks for the input and sorry to jack thread @Fish scale
