I'm no expert, I'm still working on it, but I think all fruits have their indication of ripeness, when sugars are at their peak and their textures are just right. That nice yellowing and softening of a pear, etc. Being that weed has so many strains, you get many variations of this and foxtailing is just one of them. Not getting them and then getting them on the same strain is a bit puzzling but I would guess that's just one was riper than the other, idk. Know a days, checking trichs is the last thing I do, it I even to that. The plant tells you when it's ripe much more obviously than that, I think.
So flo, I'm curious what your plans are after this plant. Are you planning on moving on and trying something else? Different strain? More than one plant? That kind of thing. I just think some variety would give you some broader practical experience and speed the learning process up, for anybody that is.
Anyhow. Good day all.
