Fox tailing? (With picture)

I’m sorry if this may be hard for some to see, but look closely and you’ll see an orange hair. I just wanted to know if this is what fox tailing is or should I be concerned? I am growing Trainwreck and fox tailing is a normal genetic development in the buds from what I read and can visually see in pictures of Trainwreck buds.

sorry can’t see what you are referring to but it is too soon to see foxtails on your buds…it happens towards the end of the bud life not the beginning like yours

I circled it this time and zoomed in on the picture. I noticed this on one of the smaller but the two apex colas are fine.

is that a ‘banana’ did your girl hermy on you???

I looked at it even closer but it looks like a white hair turning orange and curling up. Idk if that pertains to being a hermie or possible bite burn? She’s had perfect conditions though from seedling till now environmentally speaking.

Your plant looks fine.
The pistils will change colour as the buds mature.

I see nothing to be concerned about. As the “Old” guys said, pistils will turn color, some sooner than others. Foxtails don’t usually occur, if at all, until later in flower when the buds are fully formed and putting on weight.

My buds are currently foxtailing nearing end of grow.

Your plants just look like the pistils are still growing and forming :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Mine are foxtailing slightly also, and I’m not sure what to do about it. 7 1/2 weeks in. I lowered the light intensity down a little to try and help. Very dense though.

Here she is now currently in flowering… I’m assuming I still have a ways to go. I say at least another 5-6 weeks. Also noticed purple forming in the leaves. I’m assuming by now I need to up my phosphorus possibly
