Is this foxtailing?

[Badfinger]

This is about that time of the year when it can get absolutely brutal. Took me a few years to get a grip on it without too much issue. Before that, I would just grow photo trees outside for fun and ditch growing autos inside until fall.

Run your lights on an opposite schedule so that they're off during the hottest part of the day. Run your lights a little higher/dim them a little. And figure out a way to raise the humidity to match the higher temps.

I do not believe I have heat issues, tent is always 76-81 daytime and upper 60's at night. Humidity 37-44.

It's my understanding that foxtailing is stress related but some do it naturally. I look at a stick photo of Dr. Grinspoon bud and consider that natural foxtailing. The spice cake I just grew foxtailed but considered it genetic as it is heavy sativa hybrid. Buds were like little branches with small buds lining it. The whole bud wasn't overly dense but every little branch in that single bud had budlets lining smaller branches and they were pretty dense.

If its not heat issues or to high ppfd,
Then I would say you are over feeding,
I've tested this theory out when I started getting tails,
so I only fed water and it stopped.
Then I feed them nutes again then and low and behold the next day new white pistols again and abit more of a stretch on the tails

I used dry amendments this grow, so nothing I can do now, Either way, my feeding schedule is finished. They were last fed the day after I started this thread, and 3 weeks before I started this thread. I did give them cal-mag just before the tails started, which was their only cal-mag treatment.
All things considered, I think this may be a VPD issue. My high 70's temp coupled with my low humidity, does put me in the High Stress bracket of the VPD chart. So I basically have a choice between a little foxtailing or a mold risk.

Do you check leaf Temp with IR gun? I just use a cheap one from amazon

I’ve only had foxtail one time and that was a FB Zkittlez. But in that case I discovered too late that she didn’t like so much light. Which also ended up creating more heat.

Your temperature isn’t too hot like you said. But it doesn’t look bad.

What does foxtailing mean? The pic kinda looks like my first plant here and I’m curious what you’re seeing that makes you ask if it’s foxtailing?

 

[JoeBogs]

Actually scratch that I found a good pic of foxtailing and it’s nothing like my plant. Sorry my bad for jumping the gun.

No I don't check leaf temp, I haven't gotten that technical yet. Every grow results in new gadgets being bought that will never get used.
I have a moisture meter and bowl trimmer coming today, I will check leaf temperature with those in a couple weeks. lol

Interesting that it happened after your calmag treatment cos I re added it to my feed after using water for a week and it came back,
I've got it now but its not getting outa hand, and back to just water, and Alg-a-Mic every other feed
Buds they coming off are rock hard so a little fox tails ok,
aslong as they don't start towering ontop of each other dramatically lol
