Well she's done for, chopped one skunky VA as well, found 2 leaves humping in a pile of pm so it got trimmed up and whacked as well

Here’s what I got from my fruit punch tester plant. Nice haul, decent buds. I may have to do another just for fun and see if I can improve on it. Been fun fellas that participated??✌?

Thank you @Jewels ! It was a fairly heavy yielding little thing. Smells excellent, frost is medium but it did some weird things at the end almost foxtail like. I’ve been battling this with my last couple grows and I’m determined to figure it out. I’m looking for full and rounded buds. Conical is ok as well. Just a pet peeve of mine.

Figured I’d show y’all the buds in the bag for reference and a nug in my hand. I could still manicure them a bit better and probably will.

WHERES THE JOURNAL?!?!
Please share your wisdom with us regular folk. I can’t even get 96g from a 2 gallon pot jfc. I’m doing something completely wrong

I’m working on it. I promise! Been busy with life, kids, pitbull eating my plants etc.? Nothing special really, good genetics, mycorrhizae, basic nutrients. Messed up with bloom booster. Maybe someone can help me with that part. Oh, I used a 2 liter fabric pot for better aeration but that’s about it. Flushed for a couple weeks with a mild molasses and epsom salt mix and then ph’d tap water. I pulled right at two ozs a plant from my hydro grow in six inch net pots. I’ll get them dialed better, I’m having issues with these cmh lights. Two 315w cmh. Maybe too much uv ??♂️ I’m gonna do half soil and half hydro this next grow. One greases pieces survivor, one wedding cake gifted by a coworker, clones from Phylex first tester group and gonna pop a couple nirvana ice seeds for my uncle because he thinks they’re gonna be that pine bud from way back. We’ll see. Thank you for the kind words and encouragement, I’m just not used to sharing my grows. Almost 11 years alone with it. Time to bust out I guess?☕️☕️✌?

Could it be a genetic thing?
I grew out a grapefruit diesel. The photo on the website showed a club head bud , grown Outdoors.
I grow mine indoors and Sho- Nuff , club head bud.
I have grown two different Tangie crosses and they both peninsulate , stack and run.
Now instead of being a dink I will agree with you for a while,,,
This photo is from the seedsman website. I got the Alaska Purple as a freebie.
I was determined to have a better looking plant than that, although it doesn't look like that is going to happen.
Back on topic The buds - the very tops of the buds.
Wtf?
Between those burnt off fan leaves and that scraggly haircut I'm not sure I would have paid money for these. Point being, when I grew my comp plant - they were more dome like.
I will assume mine are huddled together for safety ; if one of those calyx ever popped up by itself like that, it would probably incinerate.
Again, let's revisit the thumbs-up part.
As mentioned above, I also have X-gallon pots that didn't give me 3 oz.
Your specimen is truly something.
I will be harvesting about 3 dozen : half-gram heads.
If it is less than 1/2 ounce- I will be saying goodbye in one big paper.

Man @Jewels , I really appreciate the props. I wasn’t sure how this seed was even going to grow. It’s at least five years old and been in my end table chilling out. It’s heavyweight seeds fruit punch. I was really surprised on how she ended up and to go a step further not a single nanner to be found. It was slow off the start but once it grew some root legs the rest of the plant did the same up top. It was a bit slow to flower but again, once the sites formed up they just grew together into some nice long colas. I dry trim and even cut all the buds except the very top from the main stems. When I weighed it up last night I was like no f-ing way! I’ve still got a few left so I’ll probably run them again at some point. Smells like skunky blue sweet tarts. It’s a unique smell that I’ve had before but from years past. I think it would be a beast if put outside in some quality organic super soil. I can only imagine what she’d put out in those conditions ? Thank you again, it was a fun grow. Now if I can figure out and correct the foxtail thing. Not that I can’t stand them but they’re kinda weird and make trimming kind of tedious and I’m a trimming machine. Something I’ve always enjoyed. Most will think I’m nuts for that but I can go hours and not skip a beat. The smells and scissor hash must be what it is????

Real quick, I think it’s a genetic thing as far as the fox tails and also environmental. I’m not ? certain but I’m going to make an effort to find and correct the issue if possible. They tend to get all crispy critters because there’s not much there like a solid cola. Just my opinion and experience of course. Some may not mind at all. Maybe a bit of OCD?
Fox tailing is usually either genetic or environmental, but could also be nutritional. Genetically it's most common in Sativa's. As far as environmental stress, it's typically caused by heat and or light intensity. But it could also be attributed to light spectrum. pH and nutrients can also be a culprit. The plants reaction to stress from high heat is to elongate and stack its calyx's, "spires," to assist with heat dissipation. Usually with light intensity, it's your lights being too close. You'll also typically see crispy leaves and bleaching. However if you're right outside of this cusp, you may not experience crispy leaves and bleaching, but still see fox tailing occur. Light spectrum could also play a role as well sometimes. Specifically with Sativa's since they evolved close to the equator. Too much red during flower could initiate stress and produce fox tailing. I've also heard many folks complain about fox tailing issues when using Mammoth P. On the flip side, I've heard other folks use Mammoth P without issues. Too much Nitrogen can cause this as well, but more so with Sativa's. pH being off can also contribute to it. If it's genetics, other than bag appeal, there's no ill effects. However, if it's caused by stressors, quality is effected.

My minimal input on the subject, for me both times I've seen it in my rooms was when my lights were too close

Thank you for this @Phylex . I feel in my particular situation it is due to lights being too close even though I didn’t have bleaching of the leaves but my comp plant did have a bit of crispy ness to the very tops. I’ll be making some minor adjustments so I can see if there is a change and what change I made caused it. Another of my struggles is just space limitation since I downsized so I’m having to learn how to rock things in smaller areas. Man I miss my old setup or at least the space I had set up. Not so much those 1000w lights. They worked but the heat and cost was just too much to deal with especially after the flood of product in my area due to legalization. Thank you again, I love information. How’s your comp plant doing by the way? ?✌?
Summed up perfectly by @Jewels . Even though most of you guys said it could be substituted with one of the GOW's, I didn't think it was fair to exchange entrants. I chose to run a tester, I can own that. Those GOW's were moved into darkness today. They'll get chopped on Thursday.
