Hey guys I'm new to this but is there a strain that is more likely to foxtail . Just wondering I'm going some strawberry cheesecake and wondering what to expect .

I ran one seed of that this summer too. easiest cloner ever, i flowered out the seed and one clone inside, and I have i think 5 clones out in the wild. the indoor plants stretched, i tied them down with pipe cleaners. thats my pheno anyway. very good yield, very decent smoke, kinda stoney.

Heat has always been the culprit for me.
I've had exhaust fans fail overnight, I'd come back down literally the next day and look in the room and see big foxtails on a bunch of buds.
Check my thermometer which stores the day's high and low temps, and sure enough it was 110° in the room overnight.
Have also had smaller foxtailing during heatwaves in the summer if the room gets up to 90 or so.

Thanks again I'm not sure how to do this or if this is the right place for this but is it possible for me to post some pictures of my grow and gets some advice on it . I'm still kinda new and would like a veterans advice. Thank you so much .

I thought it was heat in my room but temps are pretty consistent. Backing the ripening plants away from my HPS even an inch or two seems to be reducing it. And I am tapering off nutes for a light fade at the last 10 days or so and I think the nitrogen has a lot to do with it to. The faded plants of the same strains are finishing much rounder and more dense most noticeably on top.

My last indoor was fed higher than usual nitrogen and started to foxtail and actually was taking longer to finish, I stopped adding the extra nitrogen (amino acid) to get it to finish. Also had a White Russian that I super cropped and it basically turned into a Dr. Grinspoon like structure. I have grown that strain a few times and never had it do that but I figure stress caused it? What do some not like fox tailing? I think it is that tight buds look nicer than whispy ones so better bag appeal perhaps. I don't get it much because I pull sooner than most.

My finishing time was 2 weeks longer too from too much nitrogen. My next two plants were faded and finished earlier. And less leafy at the buds.

I mostly agree with this but excessive foxtailing is a stem growing out of the buds. It seems to be a bit controllable. I want more bud and less stem in there.

I usually find foxails in 1 of 3 things:
-High temps
-Maturity (or beyond)
-Strain genetics (every cheese strain I've grown).
I don't quite see them as a totally bad thing, but is 1 reason I don't do cheese strains anymore.
The foxtails always bust off the buds when they are dry and in the jars

I'm not sure how optimal this set up is but let me know your thoughts
