Grow Mediums Cat tries the 1st Northern Lights grow in coco

I know, I'm surprised mate. She's doing too much foxtailing, but I've moved the light away so hopefully it'll slow it down

i dont mind foxtails, i look at them like free bud with no stem

My pineapple express from Barneys both foxtailed alot. But the smoke is divine. I truely feel it was genetic along with high heat.

I agree wirh @Bailey about the oven fast dry method. But at least you have a good stone from it until you dry the rest proper... Thinking of your next grow yet?

I can't make up my mind, thinking of Mazar or jack herer

It can be genetic, but not in the N/L. I've moved LED further away, so hopefully it won't get any worse

Yes, mine have happened early enough to give em time to mature

It’s been an eventful couple of weeks in Cat’s grow tent, but I've learned so much. I posted in the Infirmary for Sick Plants section and Waira and Namvet gave great advice about defoliating the underside of plants and the problems with run-off Ph.

I won’t go into it all here, but this is the link https://www.autoflower.org/threads/is-this-a-ph-problem-or-deficiency.54129/

This week, foxtailing has been on my mind. My big plant has started foxtailing like crazy on the main cola and side branches.

Whereas the little plant has very solid buds. I’m actually wondering if these buds are maybe too hard. I thought there should be a squidgy feel to buds .

For weeks, temps were 30F and humidity 60%. As both N/L plants responded differently, I think the big plant might have been too close to the LED lights. Heat/light stress can contribute to foxtailing. I don’t think it’s such a big problem, but apparently they can reduce the potency of buds.

I’ve adjusted the distance between lights and buds by shortening the pendant using chain from the local DIY store.

Marshydro’s recommended light distance from plants is... Germination: 24” – 30” Veg stage: 18 – 24” Flower stage: 12 – 18”

My Blue cheese foxtails like mad and it's potent only problem for me with foxtailing is it makes buds look untidy.
And is there such a thing as buds being to dense cat

I have no idea about dense buds, I just didn't expect em to be so firm

Firm equals weight. May be because of the close lighting as well. But that is a guess... Moving the lights lije you did should hopefully resolve some issues for ya.

I just thought about this last night, so moved the light further away from small plant too. Cheers!
