Foxtailing

[Machamillion]

Sorry, I meant percent (%),old age brain fart. Temperatures have been between 75F and 81F for most of the grow. Light distance has been no lower than 18 inches from top bud. When foxtailing started lights were raised to 24 inches where they remain. Should I go higher or reduce wattage. The GSC is my main concern. The OGK and GG#4 are of little concern at this point. The GSC has been a strange plant from the beginning. Its growth habit is like a shrub. it is about 15 inches tall with a trunk at least 2 inches in diameter. All plants were LST'ed. I have read that foxtailing plants may not ripen. Fact or myth.

Myth

what type of lighting? the way the leaves are folding up on the tops makes me think light stress..

Mars Hydro TSW2000 pulling 287 watts and a BAVA 240 watt pulling 243 watts. Obviously, both quantum boards.

In what size tent?

3x3x6

That's a lot of light, and Im pretty sure a heavy ppfd load as well.. I have a 3x3x7 with 475w of cree cobs.. I keep the light as far away as I can or plants will show stress.. It's at least 3ft away in flower.. Further away in veg. Id would definitely check the manufacturer ppfd specs.. 800 is about the sweet spot. Over 1000 and the plants can become carb deprived. I don't think both lights are needed. Even if both were dimmed to half power and 24 inches away, that would probably be over 1000 ppfd.

Foxtailing is nothing to worry about and is a common occurance in some strains towards the end of the flowering period.

The Mars shows center ppfd of 910 @ 18 inches, the graph appears to be 618 in a 3x3 @ 24 inches, and the BAVA ppfd is 305 @ 24 inches in a 3x3. In any case ,plenty of light

Just a FYI, with no actual relevance to the topic at hand, but neither of those boards are quantum boards. HLG came up with the "quantum" board name for their lights and other manufactures using the same Samsung 301 diodes are simply using the name to steal market share. It looks like your Bava uses the Samsung diodes but Mars does not. I'm in no way a supporter of HLG and their over priced "Quantum boards".

Definitely plenty.. And the plants are telling you that it's too much. I would at least dim them down to stop further foxtailing.
