Good Or Bad Foxtailing?

psyjon69 · Nov 10, 2017

hey guys, would you say this is good or bad foxtailing? I'm a week from harvest, 8 weeks 12/12

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)

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

Drop your temps, maybe move the light up a little. You have more than a week. Good luck.

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?

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 have a LUMii digita 250w 400w 600w and boost switchable ballast with a 600w HPS bulb in

Give it another 3+ weeks. The quality of the bud will be so much better, dont waste all this time with some inferior premature crap.

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 just want to say a big thank you to all you guys for trying to help me. It's so good that there are people like you guys willing to help others with their grows. Thank you so much

Deffinently bad foxtails. Heat or light stress is the problem

psyjon69 · Jan 3, 2018

It turned out to be good foxtailing after all! Got just over 9oz of very dense, strong bud from my one plant

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
