they all went thick, after starting as foxtails.
dunno where i read it, save that foxtailing is allegedly indicative of a stronger finish; % wise. dunno whether that's true. I've tested nuttin.
it's like bread knots! splayed over n opened up, the colas' supporting buds just took off n became their "own buds".
love the effects of turning future colas, on their sides, for more light exposure. no experiments done, to this end.
