Yes, that’s foxtailing. See a lot of amber in that last pic.

thanks for that quick reply…what do I do at this point?

It’s not a bad foxtail as the buds look pretty dense. That last bud looks like it’d put you in a coma if you smoked it. The other two pics are a bit behind the last. All pics from the same plant?

they are a mix of each plant…the buds are very dense…how damaging is this going to be for the harvest and final product…is there anything I should do at this point…Im guessing I may be a week or 2 away from harvest…
Thanks

I just popped a few of those lil buds and found tiny lil what looks like seedlings…how bummed out should I be??

You’ll just lose bag appeal but you’ll gain weight. So it’s not a bad foxtail unless you want dispensary looking buds.

one of those pics is another one of the sacs I broke open…

That does look like a developing seed. @garrigan65 post above this one, first pic. Oh, and @Vexer since you impregnate on purpose, maybe you’ve seen this?

Foxtailing isn’t liked by a lot of growers due to looks, but it actually means your plant is working super hard to create new buds; so it’s actually a good thing. Many growers who understand this actually appreciate some beautiful foxtailing in their cannabis. However, different circles believe otherwise but they are wrong lol.

That is not a developing seed, it is a unmature pollen sac. Seeds are usually covered by the calyx it grows in. Some seeds do surface tho.

It may also be a swollen calyx and that seed thing is actually the new flowers being produced.

If I could see it before you busted it open then I’d be able to tell. It doesn’t actually look like a pollen sack at all IMO. If you can take one picture of the plant so I can zoom in on it I can tell you for sure.
