+1 on the foxtail but there's nothing wrong with that. Doesn't look like you did anything wrong. If you don't want to smoke it, I will lol. What strain?

Your temps should be similar to the room the tent is in - control the room not the tent. Also thermometers and such dont read right if in the light or indirectly in the light - heat is radiation conduction convection so omit radiation and conducttion to get convection i.e. air temps.
My exhaust makes negative pressure, the intake holes are sized so they feel like a good jet of air is going through and that pulls heat from the whole tent. We do not want wind above what is barely preceptable - step in your tent and it feels fresh with air movement then great, feeling wind bad. Fans will boost dead spots exhausts cant reach if a bigger tent or room. Hard to explain but wind speeds should be around 0.5 - 1.0m/s as an overall guess. Best i can explain that whole bit.
Lights i recently try to judge in ppfd or umols so seedlings 100ppfd upto say 800 full flower - im not there yet but light is radiation and like your thermometer it heats whatever surface it strikes so too much can heat a leaf past the point it can keep cool and voila moisture stress and crap. This plant should grow upwards daily and have good node spacing - shorter nodes seem to happen when you start hittin max light intensities and the plant dont like up no more.
For me thats a run down of my environment, add in soil and its pretty easy, where i struggle the most is in getting it allperfect - forever adjusting trying to keep within the lines.
Your bud looks great for a homegrow, be airy and shrink once them.leaves are off and dried but the trichs and calyx say its gona be a gooooood smoke.
Ask me about the hang dry if you need another opinion that isnt jarring with boveda and cardboard box stuff

sometimes its caused by heat, sometimes by overfeeding, sometimes it's just a genetic trait, and it'll foxtail a little in perfect conditions...clip em off and throw em in the hash bucket
