Weird Growth of buds like foxtailing

[TheFluxPlux]

looks like my buds that are closest to the light are stretching out in all directions.
strain 80% sativa ( Royal Medic)
Max temps around 27 Celcius
Humidity Lights on : 45% ~ off: 70%~
400W HPS distance from plant about 35cm
I did some defoliation during flowering fearing high humidity and mold.

Up the lights like 16 inches also is your timer working properly? She's foxtailing badly also u need to do something about that light off humidity. Too high!!

I always let my vegging plants recover, thrive and shout happy before I flower them, did you ?

i can't up the light anymore it's maxed out the room.
I can lower the 400W to 300W since i got a dimmable ballast.
Also about the humidity there not much i can do .
The humidifier just won't take so much water from the room.
It's rain season here so the weather isn't helping

im assuming you meant dehumidifier??

the growth looks funky

im not sure the humidity has anything to do with it

possibly light to close maybe

im curious what your doing for fertilizer
whats your medium?
whats your EC/ppm of the solution

what are the NPK % amounts on each of the bottles your using to fertilize and how much of each in mls are you adding per gallon

Medium : coco/perlite mix
EC around 2400 ,i always keep log and check run off so i try to keep the run off at the same levels.
so if run off is high i lower the EC on the next watering.
I use the lucas formula for flora 3 part from General Hydroponics
So it's only the Bloom and Micro at a ratio of 2:1
The ml is around 25ml of Micro and 50ml of Bloom in about 10 liters of water ( RO + tap water mix at 400 EC )
And as always ph Down to 6.2 around.
Maybe i should get a diary going

broken timer was my first thought I had this same exact what the fuck is going on last year and it was the timer not shutting off, everything I had four weeks in revegged before I figured it out. It would shut off three hours after so it was in between times that I would check so I didn't notice, one day I just happened to get home early and see that it didn't work.

Yeah I woke up toady early because i did have a suspicion to check on the timer .
So the lights where supposed to go off at 8:00 AM
it was 8:15 Am and the lights where still running so i think it's been like 30 mins extra of light.
So i changed the timer to 11 hours on and 13 hours off !
I guess 1 hour a day less is like 1 day in 11 days so i got about 1 month left which is 3 days worth of light which i guess is ok.

do they turn on at the right time?

do they turn on at the right time?

yes give or take 5 min.
it's a mechanical timer maybe sometimes it get's stuck at the on off switch for like some minutes.
i've adjusted it about 2 times in a month

do you run an exhaust fan during lights out?
