Goddam foxtails

Do these happen overnight? Someone pointed out I might have foxtails. I looked into it and one issue I had was they got to close to the lights. They got to tall and kept growing even in flower. I bent a few but they were about 18-20inches away from the lights.

Week 9
Coco
Lights 80%
no c02 stopped few days ago.
flushed with Cha Ching 2 days ago, I used double the recommendation on the label.
Room temp 69
Humidity 55%

my other issue is that 80% of my pistils are still white and I don’t have a lot of full bloomers.

I have 5 zookies and 5 Gelatos in early week 9. Foxtails and white pistils, how can fix this?

A lot of factors contribute to foxtailing, including but not limited to temperatures, genetics, RH, nutrient regimen, etc. It's not particularly a problem, but can lead to some rather airy flowers.

As for the pistils/trichomes, you just gotta let the ladies mature. Pistils aren't a great indicator of maturity, but the trichomes won't lie.

a lot of genetics no matter what you will have fox tail buds , and they will be super dense ( but be fox tails )

myth is fox tails are bad cause nothing wrong with that structure eh

I've seen clones under hps foxtail while the ones under a mh in the same room didn't. In fact I've never seen a mh plant foxtail. Maybe I'll buy the 4K qb.

Plant looks a little nutrient stressed. Too much N can do it, I've seen LED lights do it a lot, plants growing too close to the lights will do it, excessive heat will do it.... Lots of things can cause it, including genetics if everything else is dialed. Sativas evolved to do it due to growing in hotter equatorial environments I think.

Yes I thought it was you pic I mentioned it to in the comments I could see it I’ve had it happen to me growing Jack Hera . I’d raise up the light to 24” to 36” it got a bit to go I’m sure it going to be a damn fine smoke mate . Good luck OD .

They’re definitely nutrient stressed because I gave them a shit ton of cha ching, some of the plants started to bend over basically they look tired and a shit ton of tip burns. I’ve started my flush with RO water at 6.3ph and I only add 1ml of bloom a & b from emerald. So hopefully the flush will allow them to recover. I’m a flush till Sunday then turn the lights off. Here are what the trichomes look like as of 3 days ago. They seam a bit cloudy but mostly clear.
