Why do my nugs have little 'towers' growing on them

Page 84 step 3 in Jorge's Bible he says, " You may want to give plants twenty four hours of total darkness before harvest. Many growers do this and say the buds are a little more resinous afterward. "

ah hah finally someone that reads books and not just internet posts! kudos my friend!

Foxtailing can happen outdoors if there are heavy rains late in the season. Also called reflowering.
Sativas + Florida + Oct/Nov/Dec rain = Foxtails. Super stacked calyxes though. Gotta love 'em
I can see the differences in the buds when breaking them up. Like the rings on a tree, the super tight calyxes tell you its life cycle. Growth spurt, baby.

this is your buds still growing if your trichs arent white yet let it go i have a few strains that do this and a few that dont. its your buds last little push of growth if you were to let it go another 2 weeks( i wouldnt) you would see the sides grow out and fill in the the nug

"The Stichting Institute of Medical marijuana (SIMM), the first company to sell marijuana through the pharmacies of Holland, has been investigating the medical possibilities of cannabis, together with TNO laboratories and the University of Leiden.

One of their discoveries has been that to keep the ripe plants in the dark before harvesting could increase their potency.SIMM’s growers separated a crop of mature plants, harvested half of them and kept the other half in absolute darkness for
72 hours before cutting and drying. Analysis of the resulting dried buds showed that some varieties had seen an increase of THC of up to 30%, while CBD and CBN remained the same."
 
Great thread, with a plant just like mine that has also started to put on a late flowering growth stint. Your thread got a whole lot more response than mine did, so I'm glad I saw your post! I got much more good info from your post than I did from mine. LOL : ) :clap:
