Foxtails

[schmoddie]

Hello Friends!

I am afraid I triggered foxtails at my Black Domina Lady (photoperiodic). This because of „too much light“.




Fortunately, maybe fortunately, I realized early enough and dimmed my lamp.

Now there’s my question:
Is there a possibility these foxtails will redevelop and buds will grow as usually if I take care from now on to not stress them due to too intensive lightning?

I don’t think it’s a genetic thing, I checked some pictures from other growers White Dominas —- and somehow their buds look different.

Greetings

Looks okay, plants produce all kinds of different bud structures from the same strain or even the same plant. It’s normal. That’s not even very foxtailed to be honest

Cannabis does not hate light, despite what the internet will tell you. More photosynthesis requires more nutrition. If I grow 12/12 water only I get dense hard round bud. If I veg for a month I get squared out Dracula castle bud. The only difference is lack of nutrition in relation to photosynthesis.

I don't see much foxtailing here either and it's not a bad thing, plants and buds are looking good and healthy.

How does a 'dracula castle' bud look exactly @YellowCanaryConsulting !?

Maximstyle once said to me "..if they foxtail it will be more bud in the end."
That was convincing enough for me not to stress out anymore. Go for gold,schmoddie!

There's nothing wrong with foxtails.

A foxtail is often the beginning of a new bud, or just part of the bud getting really FAT.

Who doesn't like fat buds ?

Just make sure you manage the humidity so that mold doesn't force a premature harvest.

Thank you for your answers my friends! Very calming for me!

But I have to ask because I quit smoking more than ten years ago and before I almost solely Hash all the time. So I can‘t evaluate.

What about the things I read about foxtails lowering the amount of THC, terpenes, quality of buds over all?

Following your information these (maybe) negative effects are not such a big deal, is this true?

Foxtail bud structure doesn't cause any of those issues.

Stress (related to heat, light, fertilization...) can cause those issues, AND can cause foxtailing in strains that typically grow different shaped buds. So I guess that is where the confusion comes from.

Your buds look pretty typical. Foxtails look like this:

Extreme Foxtailing of Tropical Sativas when Grown Indoors

Yes, they are. Not every outdoor strain can be grown indoors without hermies. As an example you can follow the story of serious6. This strain is promoted for outdoor growing because some sparse plants may hermie indoors. Thanks. Have you got any personal experience with indoor hermies vs...

Last year I growed Patrick Star under LED-bulbs. So my most impressive plant so far was full of foxtails?

 

[Mitsuharu]

Yup, perfect foxtailing. Sure the yield and high were great!?

My Malawi x NL Auto last summer at the window with foxtails... 30cm plant.

them foxtails stack and stack, beware!

alsos they scare off all of them hipster growers so you gets to smoke it all by youself. and you know about people who smoke sativa on their lonesome. i heard they give you herpes

 

[schmoddie]

Be honest @Mitsuharu ! It was YOU who went in my Growroom at night and stole the head of my Skywalker Haze!

I pushed some GMO clones past foxtail.

I got lots of "nanners" which I pushed some more.

The seeds were minimal, but every one has been female, several phenos, all good.

Sometimes I wonder if Foxtail bud structure was one of the reasons for the mythical Thai stick product.

A bud with lots of wispy budlets of resiny Sativa.

Then wind them around a stick or something to get the Thai stick.

The wispy Foxtail bud structure can be PERFECT for rolling a joint. Just wrap an orange Zig Zag around it and it's Smoke-Ready.
