Day 15 - Starting our week 3 and things are looking good and healthy. She still seems a bit droopy but not too much to be concerned about right now. Only seems to be right after watering but she perks back up. Gave her the first week 3 feeding today and so far I haven’t noticed any issues with nutes.
Day 16 - Looks like she’s really starting to grow each day now. Will probably start some LST soon, just want her to get a little taller. Not quite dried out so will feed her some water in another day or so. All in all, looking good!
Day 17 - I noticed one leaf that looks like it’s being “eaten” but took out the jewelers loupe and don’t see any sort of bugs so not sure what’s happening. Only the one spot so possibly a drop of nutrient hit it and I didn’t notice but looks decent other than that. Started LST so we’ll see how she recovers.
Day 18 - Looks like the garden staple slipped sometime last night so my first attempt at LST didn’t take. Was going to redo the staple but decided to go back to the colored pipe cleaners. Retied her down and see how she’s doing tomorrow.
Day 19 - Recovered well from LST and is stretching for the light. Gave her the second and final feeding for week 3. Will let her stretch a little more before tying her down some more.
Day 21 - Ending week 3 and all is looking good. Did a little more LST today and so far so good. A couple pistils have started to show but nothing to crazy. Just gave her some water today and will start week 4 feeding schedule in a couple days.
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.
