I think I started to flush too soon, but it's too late to add nutes again so lesson learned

I started flushing to try to remove some of the salt buildup, but basically I just stopped feeding it nutes so I'm not sure if that would be considered flushing. I started about 2 weeks ago. But with that said, would it be worth it to try to correct the ph and maybe add nutes again?

Yes. Don't stop feeding. You starved it the last few weeks. You've got some other issues in there I can't say for certain get your medium in check and don't flush

Thanks for the feedback. I'll start with a light feed. Only have 2 grows under my belt so I'm still learning and I know I have a while to go.
Ok I’m now thoroughly confused…which isn’t a hard thing for me to become….I have almost no experience growing indoors….did have some banner crops outside a long time ago and feel like I know what a ripe bud looks like and how it gets there. But take it easy on me, as I’m not even finished w/ my first indoor grow.
I understand the buds not being as big as some, but I don’t get the foxtailing issue.
I thought “bad” foxtailing was due to light stress and affected the tops primarily. The other type of foxtailing was due to genetics and was prevalent all over the plant. This plant is showing it all over, which makes me think it’s more genetic. And I know I’m not the only guy who likes those knuckled up buds?? But remember, I know very little and understand even less.
I’m having the same issue with one of my autos and am going to post something to see what kind of input I can generate and what I can learn.
On the original post plant,
I can’t tell if those giant calyces are just getting ready to heave up the thick strands of pistils that foxtailing buds typically do, or if they’ve already done it and they’ve receded.
About a week ago my buds looked like they should finish in another 2weeks……then rather suddenly, these giant calyces swelled up and started spitting out the thickest pistils I’ve ever seen. Now I couldn’t say when it may be ready….it’s a “9-10 week” auto on week 13 and at the rate it’s moving, could take a month or more for all those whites to turn or recede.
I assumed my foxtailing was genetic but it makes more sense that I fucked something up….I’m pretty good at that, I’ve seen me do it. My pic is from yesterday and, believe me, it looked more ripe a week ago without the new ropes of white goo.

Small edit from my previous comments…I just saw the closeup pics and can see that those calyces are running for the toilet….they’re about ready to upchuck the biggest white hairs you’ve ever seen. You can see them sitting in the birth canal about to heave themselves out into space. Once they start it’ll be a number of weeks before they recede. I guess the good news is it should add some mass to the buds.
And guys, if I’m wrong and what I’m saying makes no sense and just isn’t correct, I hope someone will have the heart to tell me.

Ok, you should probably not hijack someone’s thread and confuse everyone. We have no info on your grow, hard to tell if the foxtails are genetic or light/stress related. It appears you have weeks to go with nothing more.
Sorry…forgive my excitement. I would like to understand something….in the critiques of the original plants, mention is made of there being various potential problems present. The foxtailing of the buds was implied as a possible result of those issues. I don’t know of anything the grower could have done to get those buds to foxtail in that specific manner….it looks genetic to me.
Maybe I read things wrong and that wasn’t the case…..but if there is a grower error that can cause that type of FT, uniformly over the entire plant, I was interested to know what it was.
Again, sorry to hijack things….my bad. Just very curious about the whole foxtailing thing.
Good luck with the grow…

It's all good, I just want to learn too. All info is good to me, I just have to make my own conclusions sometimes. I've heard some pretty stupid things that actually end up working and I've also heard some intelligent sounding opinions that don't work at all. I would also like to know about the foxtailing if anyone has any info .
