Growth on my Buds!?

Please tell me it aint so!

If you find a male part, you simply pinch it off before it has a chance to ripen and open. Crowning is also called foxtailing. It can be genetic or it might be from too intense of light and/or high temps. It is basically a bunch of calyxes growing directly on top of one another and creates a long tail, crown or spire. https://www.opengrow.com/uploads/gallery/album_3093/gallery_6278_3093_74290.jpg ~MacG
