Dookie69 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Hi Fam, is this new growth and white pistols the start of Fox tailing or normal bud growth?If it is Fox Tailing what can I do? Stats: Day 63 Blue Cheese Auto (Dinafem), F1 Coco/Perlite craft soil, GHE nutes, currently on “Ripen” 100% EC1.7 pH 5.8 via Autopot. In 1,2 x 1,2 open tent with 2 x Mars SP250 & 1 x 100 W Indorsun with far red. Lights hung 500mm above canopy. The usual fans / extractors. VPD is around 1,46 kPa. Leaf temp and air temp are similar, around 23 deg C and RH is 45%.Trichomes look 50% cloudy, 50% clear on the bud. No amber in sight.I’d appreciate some insight and brutal honesty here.

The_StonedTrooper Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Is foxtail, slightly. Some strains do that, yours looks far enough in to be okay. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger96 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Now I know nothing about indoor...learning from threads like these. I have a question.. Could weaker light intensity cause this if ones globe is on it's way out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_StonedTrooper Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 You'd get it more from lights being too close or too hot, room too hot, or extremely bad air flow. Spraying something on the pistols, that stops growth on the bud, and must push next to that now So not a bad light or bulb / globe. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Leaf Organics Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Some genetics just foxtail at the end and that bud looks really close to the end 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I though you meant I should spray something on the bud, but reading your post again I see you meant I might have sprayed something on my buds. No I haven’t. Only thing maybe is too much light (too close to the canopy perhaps).Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dookie69 Posted July 11, 2021 Author Share Posted July 11, 2021 Some genetics just foxtail at the end and that bud looks really close to the end I’ve read that, but what worries me is the trichomes are not turning amber yet and I want to try achieve around 30-40% amber.As I said they are 50% clear, 50% cloudy so maybe amber is a week away?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Leaf Organics Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 (edited) Don't worry to much about trichome colour , I use to stress about it but rather listen to your plant. I have had some plants never turn amber but turns out to be an amazing smoke . If it's starting to genetics foxtail it's about 7 days from done . You need to not stress so much about numbers and technicalities, every plant is different and you need to learn to understand and listen to the plant . In a week that plant will be ready to chop no matter the trichome colour . So when you chop it and check the trichomes for a reference. I always recommend people keep a written diary , there's a lot to writing down your finding and experiences and makes it an interesting read reading back through past experiences . My written diaries have helped me on many occasions to fix issues and count them as an extreanly important part of my grow experience Edited July 11, 2021 by Green Leaf Organics 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dookie69 Posted July 12, 2021 Author Share Posted July 12, 2021 Thanks GLO. I had this same situation with a plant from a previous grow. Waited and waited for trichomes to amber and by the time they did the plant was practically dead. Smelled amazing but lost flavour and strength. It also Foxtailed but I didn’t know what that was or realised it was happening.I do as you suggest, I’ll harvest in a week’s time. This is the type of “tweaking” advice you just can’t learn off YouTube!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
