I’m just starting to learn about fox tailing. Is this a sign that is what’s going on?

It appears that your plant is just starting to flower. Fox tailing occurs late in flower. I often times get a bit of fox tailing late in flower but I don’t worry about it.
What little I can see in the photograph, your plant is looking good.

It’s too early for the plant to be experiencing foxtailing. It happens late in flowering. Your plant is just getting started.
Foxtailing isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It usually means the plant is getting a lot of light, which is a good thing. I get them every grow and just cut the foxtails off.

You’ve got several weeks to go before foxtailing can even occur. Foxtails won’t appear until after the buds have started fattening up the last couple weeks of flowering.

@MidwestGuy trims the fox tailing off as many do. I don’t even do that. They are mostly wispy and shrivel during the dry and cure. Fox tailing is the least of your worries as a cannabis grower.

Everyone has you covered already. Also keep in mind that buds come in many different forms and styles. Was it the amount of and the length of the pistils on your buds that made you think something might have been off? Back when I started growing I had a White Widow and an OG Kush. The WW buds looked just like yours, lots of long pistils everywhere. The OG had totally different style buds. The pistils barely extended out of the buds at all. At the time I thought something must be wrong with one or the other, but they were just 2 totally different styles of buds, and they both finished up great.

I get some foxtailing and they are plenty potent 
they tend to dry out in just the first couple of days after hanging and I’ll snsobtjem off from around the plant till i got a blunt worth of them off and roll them up. I look forward to a little foxtailing just so i can smoke a bit of it quickly
