Day 64 - Starting the 10th week today and she’s just chugging along. Getting fatter and filling in more everyday. Gave her the first feeding of the week today and thinking about giving her a good flush at the end of the week and just water her till the end. Day 65 - Man oh man I’m looking forward to chopping this girl. She just gets fatter everyday. Debating on starting to flush this week so she’ll get a good two weeks to use everything up. Seeing some of the pistils starting to get a neon orange so I’m starting to think the end of week 11 will be it for this girl. Pretty much all milky trichs with a couple amber in there and no clear. She’s coming to the end of the line. Day 66 - Gave her a full gallon of pH’d water today and counting down to harvest day. I lowered the lights to about 8-10” because the heads on the buds really seem to be stretching and not looking normal. Don’t know if the lowering of lights will help, she’s “foxtailing” a bit it this is just normal for this strain. Hopefully lowering the lights will help. Day 67 - Decided, after some research and advise from here, to raise the lights instead of lowering because that would make the foxtailing worse. Will most likely chop her in about 10ish days, so going to start flushing tomorrow. Despite the foxtailing, the buds are still FAT and heavy! Day 68 - Seems like raising the lights kind of helped with the foxtailing a bit but we’ll see what happens her last week and a half or so. Flushed her with 2 gallons of pH’d water and some of foxfarm’s sledgehammer. Will give her straight water from now until chopping day. Hopefully she fills in a bit more but either way, she’s definitely fat and happy for the most part. Day 70 - End of week 10 today and will most likely chop next weekend. Letting her dry out still and thinking about no more water till chop but we’ll see how she looks throughout the week.

Grow Questions

Luv2Growstarted grow question 6 years ago
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.

@Luv2Grow hi lovely ladies and yes that is foxtailing I put in a possible solution in the above question 👆

@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.

Beautiful Grow! What soil mix are you using! Store bought or do you have your own formula?

@Luv2Grow, Thanks; what a great series of photos.

@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.

so you water each plant a half gallon with nutes everyday?
Luv2Grow
Luv2Growcommented6 years ago
@GrowerNotAShower, negative, I typically feed nutes twice a week and plain water with cal-mag in between feedings.

Did you use RO/DI water or just plain tap water?

@GreenForDays, tap water but have a filtration system that runs through the house.
