Caused by lighting , feed , genetics, etc.

I am at day 60 of flower with approx. 10 days to go, and the plants are really putting on the weight. They are beginning to foxtail and the new stigmas are bright white and going strong.
My rez is 21 gallons and I get 6 days watering per rez. On the 7th day there is around 2 gallon in the rez and I add 3 gallons of RO which lowers the ppm to around 3 to 400 ppm, then do one minute cycles 5 minutes apart till the rez is empty. The next few days after doing the mini flush I get a burst of stigma growth on new pistils, as you can see in the pics. I do this mini flush with each weekly rez change and along with using the Less is More method of nute mix I am having no issues with leaf burn.
This current rez will be ready to do a harvest flush with this next rez change on Tuesday or Wed. and I will make a rez with RO water @ 125 ppm, my RO machine adds back a bit of Calcium and Mag for water flavor. I will run that ratio till harvest and I may need at least one more rez to complete this grow.

I have heard pros and cons on foxtailing, what are your thoughts?

These pics were taken yesterday and today.
