She/they are trying everything they can to have one last go at reproducing/seed making, before dying. Usually stress induced, in older, over ripe flowers. Watch for "bananas" too, they will also be produced once the flowers are as old and over ripe as these. Even if you do find "bananas" the chance of any seeds developing are almost zero, for once the flowers are as ripe as these, death is imminent. You must enjoy really heavy sleepy pot! Way too ripe for my preferences! I usually harvest when only the last 5-10% or so of the pistils remain white as this is when THC is at its highest level. These flowers would now contain a decreased THC level and increased CBN and CBD levels, and this is what produces the heavy, sleepy effect. To each there own! Hope this helps... Organoman.

thanks everyone foe answers. the plants are 50/50 idica/sativa, but flower shape its totally indica. i dont think it could be caused by genetics. @ORGANOMAN your answer makes sense, but the trichomes are almost all milky, and only few amber. the seedbank says 8-9 weeks. today its the last day of the 9th week and i never harvested less than a week after the official time. i just noticed i didn't add the diary to the question, i'm sorry. you can see that in my profile anyway. cheers and thanks again

For sativa dominant strains this can be cause by genetics alone.

Hello there horsemouth, Foxtailing can be caused either by genetics or by stress. Some strains of cannabis are simply more prone to developing foxtails. Good luck with your project, I wish you all the best! 👽
