Foxtails?

I'm in a 3x3x6 tent and have been fighting with lack of space since stretch. Used some tie downs and did some HST to get the LED light as far away as I could.

I am 2 weeks or so away from cutting down but noticed recently that I may have some foxtails happening. The buds look pretty good other than the foxtails. Wondering if there's anything that I should do at this point? Or do I just let them ride?

What are your temps and humidity?

If you cannot move the lights further away than just let them ride. They do look like they have some weeks left to go. Fox tails can also be genetic, it won't really hurt the bud, just the aesthetics.

Too much nitrogen in later flower can cause fox tails. This looks to be the case.

Temps hover around 80 degrees but that's from the hygrometer that sits on the lid of my 5 gallon bucket. Obviously hotter at the top of the plant by the light...

I'm using Mega Crop throughout the entire grow. I supplemented with some Cal-mag early on but that's it. PPM's have been kept slightly lower than package recommends. Not sure why there would be extra nitrogen.

Thanks. Unfortunately I don't think this is genetics in this case. I think I let my plant veg too long before flipping and now my space is over crowded and too hot. Rookie mistake I guess! Lesson learned.

Humidity I have under control (even though I'm emptying out the dehumidifier at least 3 times a day). I'm in the south and we are in the 90's today in September... Temp is definitely a little bit higher than it should be.

My experience has always been to shutdown indoor during the summer if you can't control the climate

If you have been running the same nutrient formula for the entire grow then there is too much nitrogen. The leaves are mostly dark and shiny except where showing signs of K lacking. In flower we need less N and more P & K.

Lower your temps if you can. If you got a dehumidifier run it at night not during the day
