Foxtail at the late flowering stage. Should I crop or should I go?

I lately realized that this lady started to foxtail on all buds. So she couldn't produce enough millky trichomes yet. Normally the harvest time should be 1-2 weeks ago. Should I crop or wait for the production of a few more amber trichomes?

There's no reason to harvest early or based on foxtailing. If it's spindly trash you can always trim it off. If it's solid, knobby buds, it's fine. if it's all over, it's probably a genetic predisposition. If it's just at the top, then reduce light slightly or better control temp/rh and it might handle the light better... every seed is differnt. unless this is a clone you have to read and react and not assume it's the same length as any plant before. Lots of plumping left in the 2nd picture, so i would say it's got a fair amount of time remaining.

I don't see any foxtailing here. Wait a couple of weeks and then harvest! Have a nice harvest, dude !

Just wait for milky trichomes. Foxtails are an indication… not more, not less. Tasty trichomes are what you are looking for 👍

some plants don't amber up as much as others. If you think its time to chop it will be fine. Judge this off of a few things. Its growth and how much its drinking. slowing down in growth and drinking less means its end of life. Its trichomes mostly milky is key its pistils. want about 80% dired back.

Looks cool 😎 like a big huge ice cream cone with a huge bud as the final scoop on top. Foxtail are not visually satisfying, indicating plant was a little too close to the light. But ive never smoked a bud which foxtailed and thought anything less of it. Could always snap the apex tilt her over slightly, so long as she is not burning I don't see the harm in waiting a lil longer, trichomes have final say when it's time. Nice work.
