I made a mistake putting a new light in my flower room on week 6 of flower, my old light was flickering after 10 years but the plant was doing fine.
I have seen foxtailing but nothing like this. little buds with white hairs started popping up on every bud on the plant not just the ones at the top.
I have cut IR and UV and taken my plants down to 50% sitting at 600 par ish. I also cut all feedings and amendments just water the past week.
I do not know what to do about this I will be cutting when the under buds are ready but I got nothing to help stop my plant thinking new light = new buds lol. If anyone has anything to try I am game cause I got nothing.
I think maybe the buds are just growing some more….lots of white stigma still
I would Look at the trichomes….are they all cloudy with some amber mixed in?
Same thing happened to me when I got my new light a coupe years ago. Went from 240watts to about 460watts, and I cranked it to about 90%. Let there be light! Massive foxtails popped up everywhere!
I turned it back down and let it ride. Each foxtail grew to about 1,5" to 2" long on the buds. Kinda neat after it was cured, each tail was like a joint! I hated that grow, incredibly frustrating, but the end results were really good!
Do you have a whole plant shot? If the plant still has lots of healthy leaves, let it ride another 3 or 4 weeks and double your yield!
Welcome to the forum. Foxtailing. Could be too much heat, too much light, or it could be just the genetics. I never sweat them…just smoke them with the rest of the bud.
