drop temps if you can. some people say its also casued by excessive P and K

some strains just foxtail. foxtail buds are dank.

not much you can do about it now. it will still be dank just let it finish.

Should i dim my light to 630 watt? Would that effect my yield much at this point?

I have 4 strains going all are fox tailing to some degree

genetics, temps can exacerbate but strains that are gonna fox are gonna fox...in the same environment i have a grape krush throwback which exhibits severe foxtailing, 2 of its sisters have no observable foxtailing, 1 of her sisters shows slight foxtailing. honestly your plant(s) isn't even that bad of foxtails :joint:

Raise the lights as much as possible. Usually foxtailing is from some unfavorable growing condition. Too much nitrogen late, light leaks and i believe even from repeated heat stress events. Then there’s some strains it’s probably genetically predisposed to it.

Light is as high as i can get it in the tent, it may be receiving too much nitrogen. I have been using an ph perfect and it calls for the same ratios through veg till end of flower

I would suspect it’s sensitive to nitrogen. I have a strain that even using Lucas formula it burns after turning dark glossy green.

Dude. What strain! That's 1st thing you should have mentioned on why you are Fox tailing. What week?
Add temps.
Lowering your light output will lower yield.
Don't know strain, from a mix pack of white widow,god bud, blueberry and nuken. I suspect white widow maybe because its the most sativa leaning

It's genetics. That looks like white widow I got from green house seeds via heavens stair way.
It may not be what you want in weight but it looks good. Maybe take it week 10 or maybe 11 see if it helps the yield. It looks like it's still trying to stack

Whats the down side of foxtailing? When I researched on it all anyone appeared to agree on was that it made the bud look odd. I can't tell a difference from smoking the plant that had fox tails and the one that grew right next to it and didn't. And after dry trimming mine all look like odd shaped nuggets..
