What’s that?

[Diyandimitrov]

I think believe the customers will complain

 

[bluter]

well you're right on top of finish. it has to be close.

 

[Bill284]

If it’s big fox tail should I take it off after dry or before that when it’s fresh and wet

Don't touch them yet friend.
Just treat them as a normal girl.
Feed her until your ready to turn your lights out 36 hr pre harvest.
Trim as usual.

Stay safe

Foxtailing buds are still potent medicine regardless of the foxtailing. Don't cut it down. Just ride out the rest of its life. It will still be worth it.

What is it about foxtails that troubles you?

 

[PlanetJ]

I think believe the customers will complain

they might .. they are customers .. it's their thing

 

[TerriC]

At that point it's just nuggets with small nuggets on them.

 

[SmokingWings]

At that point it's just nuggets with small nuggets on them.

Yep, and most of the customers would not even notice.

 

[013]

Yeah ditto - pretty confident the foxtails will blend in more as the nuggets dry out and it will be much less noticeable… what was obvious foxtails to us will simply be the tip end of the bud.

I wouldn’t think twice about it and if anyone does ask then you can explain the genetic analogy combined with light stress

They looks ugly idk unnatural

Hope u are right

Miracle alien kuki 1 I can’t type the real name cause they always texting me in a private how I can’t use the real name of a strain

Well, it seems to me that you have the answer right there. If someone complains then blame the seed breeder.

I wouldn’t think twice about it and if anyone does ask then you can explain the genetic analogy combined with light stress

Bingo. Tell the customer that it is part of the genetics of this "new wonder" strain. I do not think it is a good idea to blame light stress or heat stress, just blame the genetics.

Like I said earlier the average customer will not notice. However, if you sell the entire harvest to just one individual or to one group they might notice.

...is that still a thing? Hiding the actual genetics? Or is he still getting there with this one?

 

[safeman]

Also some strains foxtail (generally sativa dominate strains) and when you notice your plant foxtailing the plant is going thru it's 2nd metabolism - Some folks cut the foxtail off beleive its caller re-budding. There can be a few causes of which were mentioed ny other members

I had a big sativa in my greenhouse that foxtailed like crazy, during summer when it was too hot in there. I had a clone of that plant in another greenhouse that wasn't hot, and it did basically the same thing and never formed any decent buds – just crazy foxtail buds. So, I vote genetics. I suppose viruses can mess with the genetics as well.

Where are you located ?

Hawaii.

I’ve studied foxtailing a bit and there are several types that all get lumped in together. Because of this there’s a lot of confusion surrounding the subject.
There’s also a good bit of variation from one case to the next.
I’ve concluded that there is good and bad “ft”. The good happens genetically and results in big, swollen and swirly calyces that often appear near the middle/end of flowering. The buds may look a little “knuckled up”, but are generally very dense and gain weight from these unusually large calyces. Some cultures call them names such as “dreadlocking” and “kings crowning”. It is actually a sought after genetic trait.
Then there is bad “ft”……this occurs both genetically or from light/heat stress. If the “ft” is happening all over the plant it’s a genetic predisposition. If only the buds closest to the light are showing signs, it’s typically environmental.
Luckily there are varying degrees of both good and bad “ft”. Your buds look a lot better than a lot of bad “ft” that I’ve seen.
So, if your entire plant or at least some of the lower buds are presenting “ft”, I’d wager that it’s genetic 100% and your lighting has nothing to do with it.

Hawaii.

Honolulu ?

Honolulu ?

Just Hawaii.
