So in conclusion , no one really knows what it is , i was told its genetics , its to hot , to cold , not enough air , not enough nuts , immature and even to stop everything and start over !!!!! so i think i will just let them be and se how they turn out in a couple of weeks but thanks to all who took time to reply .

Well, TBH you haven't posted your temps or even appear to be measuring them. It could be genetics, but likely its environmental, which you don't appear to monitor. The biggest driver of elongated node spacing and related foxtailing of buds is the diff between day and night temps. You want day and night temps to remain as close to each other as possible. You also want room temp to remain below 80F at all times (yes, that's problematic for a lot of people) or a little higher with some Equatorial strains. A thermometer and hygrometer really are basic growing tools worth investing in.

Good luck!

It's called foxtailing. Usually it's genetics that causes it, but light leaks can trigger it.

i had the same problem with white rhino from Nirvana.
they where tall sativa like with very big fluffy buds full of resin
and took forever to flower(i choped at 10 week and it was still flowering with many white hair still on the buds) i had also one white widow and one ice and their buds where dense as hell.i think it's bad genetics.white rhino is supposed to be indica dominant with dense buds and not so tall.

your question was answered many pages ago, if your plant was from seed .. you have a very slow finishing sativa phenotype
that is producing fox tailing colas that do not look very nice .. greenhouse seeds ?
white widow can throw phenos that take a long time to finish , and your plant is leading very heavy towards that side of things
if its from clone whomever gave that to you .. go slap them lol

if you grow land races or 30-40 plants of most sativa strains, you stand a good chance of finding plants like yours
and many other runts that do not display vigorous growth in veg and or flowering
obtain your clones from a reliable source or your seeds for that matter
if you are growing seeds , grow lots of little plants until you find a nice phenotype to clone

peace
