Is that a FOXTAIL? [DWC]

is a sign of stress. can happen through training. but it's not bad

High GrowerAR, Yes she is foxtailing. There are many reasons why a cannabis plant does foxtail at the near end of the grow. Read this article from Royal Queen Seeds about all the main reasons that cause foxtailing and how to prevent it in the future. Here is the link from the RQS website: https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/blog-how-to-spot-and-handle-cannabis-foxtails-n638?_gl=1*95lvt2*_ga*Njc0MTM5MTU4LjE2NjEzODU2NzA.*_ga_MFLBPT8N0L*MTY2MTM4NTY3MC4xLjAuMTY2MTM4NTY3MC4wLjAuMA.. But this plant is almost ready for harvest! You can use a x60 pocket microscope to check the trichomes. They are cheap (like 10 dollars) and really usefull growing marihuana. You can also place the microscope in front of your smartphone camera lens and send me a picture so I can help you checking if she is really ready for harvest at full potency! You need to look at the trichomes. To help you understand how to look at the trichomes I send you a link from the Royal Queen Seeds company website with an article about how to look at the trichomes with pictures and explanation about everything you need to know about this.

Hmmm... should you worry... ? Yes, she is definitely foxtailing - which happens when they're heat stressed so being that close to the light is what's doing it.. and she's only going to continue unless you somehow pull that bud down away from the light or drop your temps. But here's the thing... the plant is actually looking to ME like you should be about to harvest her... Seriously, she looks like she's almost if not actually READY! It's an auto and you've taken her a long way - this is about the average time an auto needs to complete its life cycle... so grab a jewelers loupe or a microscope or just zoom your camera in as close as you can to get a good look at the trichomes... I'm going to bet they're at LEAST all milky if not starting to turn amber - if this is so, you can harvest her now before that bud foxtails any further! Good luck!
