Foxtailing? What do I do?
GanjagrowingGalstarted grow question 4 years ago
Is she foxtailing? Do I harvest now? Her guide is 56-60 days and she’s on day 67. Seems like her pistols have turned amber and turned in and her trichomes are cloudy but these new growths I wasn’t sure if she was ready or foxtailing. Do I harvest her now?

Foxtailing is normally heat or lighting issues (too hot/too close). It can be genetic too. Try to check trichomes somewhere on a top bud with no new growth. You still want at least 10% amber trichomes. 30% is better if you're patient.

If your environment is dialled in . It could just be the genetics of the plant . I had one last run. Loads of foxtails but when harvested it was my favourite smoke. It had the best terpenes. I'd let her run a bit longer if they are not stressed .

Flowering/Preflowering/Showing sex in Vegative Stage?Hey,
Today I noticed all my outdoor plants have pistils after being 3-5weeks outside. Is this normal and will they continue veg due to increasing days/temps? Also, could this be reversed with additional light? Currently in the 7th week of Spring with 14h light and 13h sunrise.4 years ago

Stress = Early End Game?I'm having a very hard time getting the humidity down. I know about bud rot, mold, mildew. My question is, if a plant feels threatened, will it make it finish early? You know, will it make reach end game sooner than it should, or I want it to. Thanks!Week 9

can 24/48 hours of darkness make mold?hello everyone, for better or for worse, the time has come for the harvest, do you think it is worthwhile to let the plants do 24 h 48 h of darkness or is she a bullshit? I have my indica for a day inside the grow with an air conditioner at 22 degrees C and a dehumidifier with 25Buds. Other

Gradual light decline from 18/6 or instant 12/12 switch pros and consSo I’m going to switch my plants from 18-6 to 12-12, was wondering if there’s a difference from gradually declining the light period or just making an instant switch in relations to growth of the plant in terms of it making a final stretch and final bud size? Thanks everyone4 years ago

Partial harvest adviceCan anyone offer advice or experience on harvesting some of the bigger more mature buds early while leaving the rest of the plant in tact to mature? Checked the trichomes and the big top buds look ready, everything lower down is clear/milkyWeek 14

Is it time to harvest yet or should I wait a bit longer?At the moment I'm seeing 89% cloudy, 10% red and 1% clear trichomes. It is not very clear from the photos but from what I'm seeing through the magnifying lens this is how it seems. There is significant yellowing but also many white pistils.4 years ago

Using Silica to prevent foxtails???Yo growmies!!!.. So, not sure why I always do this.. But I have only been using Silica in veg.. I have been stopping before flower.. Lately my ladies have been foxtailing like fucking crazy.. Would using Silica in flower help to prevent the foxtailing since I can't control heat??Week 6

Does this look healthy for 6.5/10 flowering weeks done?First time with sativas. Not used to having a long flowering period. Any thoughts on how my plants are doing or what I expect to see for healthy plants over the next weeks. If I wasn't told otherwise I'd be harvesting these already.
