Oh, hi!
Those are two 600W HPS standing and hanging in the silo? And what kind and wattage of LED?
From what I can tell, this looks like a hybrid vertical grow. That is, light is coming from both top and sides.
It doesn't look like you're training the plants to grow up the sides of the silo, leaving a lot of bare canopy. Plants look good and happy, though.
If you're looking to maximise yields in that room with vertical techniques, I can help you.

Is it a strain characteristic to foxtail like that? I've had some that did it. They did it more under HPS, I think the infrared was part of the reason why.

When I switched to good LED, my strains that foxtailed regularly quit doing it. I personally don't mind foxtails; they smoke fine! But there is a picky crowd out there.

Picky? I’ve seen, bought and smoke dispo weed. They don’t seem that picky. My weed is grown soley for self consumption and friends. Your customers probably picky cuz you made them that way.

No, the custies were picky because someone told them foxtails bad. They didn't fucking know any better. They asked me why my weed wasn't purple, too. LolPicky? I’ve seen, bought and smoke dispo weed.

I always thought it was the excess N that did that? Hard to find pics of foxtail and light green leaves.

My experience, I got them a lot under both HPS and 860W CDM, both of which emit a lot of infrared due to their operating temperatures.
When I ran the same cuts under the same Watts/ft² of LED, using the same nutrients in the same space, they did not foxtail. That's how I arrived at my conclusion. That said, I'm not a scientist and I may have missed something.
