Good Or Bad Foxtailing?

I doubt it was good buddy. Foxtailing is not good and is caused by stress of some sort plain and simple. If it's foxtailing like that your environment is wrong got that strain
I have five plants flowering that are all from the same seed batch and one naturally foxtails. It's mother also foxtailed. Temps are steady 70-74 during lights on and 65ish lights out. All the other girls are producing normal fat chunky buds with zero fox tailing.

So even though in "your garden" it's not a thing, in the rest of reality naturally occurring foxtailing is a common thing.

Edit: OP's fox tail looks heat related because the cupped leaves and the small resin glands in those fox tails

Ok ok you know it all about foxtailing from reading grow weed easy' s site but I'm not the one who showed a pic of a shitty stressed out plant asking about foxtailing you were I was just trying to help ya out. Yes some strains do have slight foxtailing but look nothing like that and trust me if you keep working that strain adjusting your temps,lights and nutrients til you get it just right you'll see it grow without foxtails "just saying" and why do I know because I've already done this. I've worked with over 70 different strains lights and nutrients for years dialing each 1 in. I wasn't trying to argue with you just trying to help and share knowledge like you asked for. Experiment with that strain if it's worth keeping but if it foxtails that bad it's 1 for the trash and not a keeper. Here's a pic of gorilla glue notorious for foxtailing and once it's dialed in it doesn't foxtail at all. 1st is 42 days of 12 12 2nd is harvested at 60 days so just be patient with your strain and dial it in if she's a keeper that's all I'm saying ✌

Looks you should have waited a week or so... lots of light/white hairs standing straight up on that bitch.... looks good though

Yeah she could have gone longer but I'm on a strict 60 day schedule to keep my perpetual harvest going and I've found there's much better flavor harvested a bit early. The reason for all the white hairs is because I use mammoth p microbes they don't ever really stop shooting new hairs if you zoom in you can tell they are actually yellowish on their 3rd explosion all the trichs we're cloudy. I averaged 5-6 oz's a plant with a 30 day veg #5 pots with coco and sunshine #4mix blended. I can fit 16 of them in my 4x9 room with a 400w hps, 2sunsystems 315 Lec's and a 450watt led. The sunsystems Lec's crush it they produce more weight than any light I've ever used the other 2 lights are for a mixed spectrum and produce a faster finishing time. Thanks for the compliment man happy farming to ya

All I said was some strain fox tail regardless of environment but glad you felt the need to prove something to someone. Cheers, lol
