Foxtailing is alot more prominant on the buds & is usually caused by High N content in the buds or Sativa dominance in the bud structure . a bud that foxtails will have fingers instead of being tight & hard , they'll be more airy & not fill in . on some strains you can get them on the tops & sides of the bud if you have alot of nitrogen later in flower . which is why with the V&B i say to give a half dose feed before the start of plain water feeds to reduce the N in the feeds & stop the foxtailing .

hot mess is correct. i see some leaf taco going on so looks to be heat related as well
on mine ? yes . but its low humidity not heat stress . i'm lucky if it gets above 25 to 30% this time of year . the fans are cupping trying to get as much moisture as possible .
my lower buds were just swollen,

but my tops had a bit of the heat foxin

when vegging & flowering are done in 2 different rooms , a true scrog is impossible . the nets at this point are more for bud support & to be able to move the longer branches around to try & keep an even canopy .
i'd say 80% of the nets i see being used recently aren't for scrog .... they're for bud support more than anything . it beats the shit outa stakes & plant clips ! or even tomato cages .
Have you used a microscope to check on the trichomes? what's going on with the trichomes? Nice run so far! Way better than my first run. lol
WAtts: that is the second screen i know it is a long thread to read through. but its just there to support the heavy tops from falling. she waited plenty long to flip.
Why are some growers buds just barely above the scrog net? Wouldn't you get more yield if you waited until the screen was full before flipping and end up with around 2ft. colas?
