Day 8 - Started a light feeding today but only made a half gallon of water. Used 15ML of Grow Big and 5ML of Big Bloom. Will keep an eye on her for any signs of nute burns. Haven’t had any issues in the past but haven’t started this early before so will keep an extra close eye, just in case. Something also seems a little off. She seems a little small for day 8, compared to the others I’m growing but I know each strain is different so I’ll see what she does in the end.
Day 9 - So far there’s been no negative reactions to the feeding and she’s growing well.
Day 10 - Looking good so far and will give her time before starting some LST due to what my Zkittlez is looking like but we’ll see.
Day 12 - Gave her a feeding of nutes today and looking good for the most part. She’s a little droopy but pot was kinda dry so hopefully some water and food perks her up a bit.
Day 14 - End of week 2 and she’s looking pretty good. Added a second fan in the tent to help a little with airflow. Will be starting week 3 feeding schedule tomorrow.
A couple of buds look like the tops aren’t really “compacting” and are stretching. Would lowering lights help, are the buds foxtailing? Is this bad? Any help or guidance would be appreciated.
Hi @Luv2Grow yes this is classic foxtailing caused from high temps. as far as bag appeal goes it's not pretty but no big deal Don't lower your lights it would only make things worse. I think your probably only 10 days or so from harvest by the looks so I wouldn't worry too much
if there is any way you can lower temps this would stop the fox tailing I wish you a bountiful harvest 👌
@Fast_Buds,thank you for the kind words. I’m TRYING to be detailed but get side tracked between wife, kids and pets but I can’t say enough about y’all genetics. It’s pretty much all I’m growing now, other than freebies I receive. I really want to try y’alls Smoothies so I’m gonna try and get my hands on some soon.
@Fast_Buds, she most definitely is thick! I wish I could speed up time to where she was dried and cured, haha! Thank YOU all again for the amazing genetics!!
@DILLIGAF, thank you, after doing some research and saw lowering lights wasn’t a good idea, I actual went back and raised them higher. I had about a week or so where my temps were around 85 and couldn’t get it lower but just recently got them to sit around 78 or so. I read that there was good and bad foxtailing but this stuff is just for me and family so don’t really care about bag appeal. I do appreciate your input, helped confirm what I was thinking! Much appreciated!!
Nice grow. Your foxtailing could just be genetics. Yes heat can contribute to the issue. Since she has more sativa genetics than indica genetics exposing her to too much red spectrum lights jump starts her defense response which is to grow foxtails. Backing off on the light intensity and adding more blue and white spectrum near the end of the grow will help keep foxtailing under control. It also helps with terpene production and preservation.
@Paul7227, Preciate it bud!
If you’re stateside, I just went to Home Depot and got organic compost, peat moss, perlite and vermiculite. 3 parts compost, 3 parts peat moss, 2 parts perlite and 1 part vermiculite. Nice and airy and worked like a charm.
