Is this foxtailing?

I have a Grandaddy Bruce strain growing in a 3 gallon pot with coco that grew into a 5.5 foot monster. Its 6 weeks into flower and i notice that buds aren't getting any fatter. Was wondering what the issue could be? Besides thinking it outgrew its pot its a very healthy plant. I was thinking foxtailing but being a new grower im not sure. I looked up pics but none look quite like this one

Some buds will look in between. It'll look, "bumpy". Shorter cat tails growing.

From your picture. It looks bumpy.
 
Looks like you should back off the nitrogen. That is textbook clawing
Thank you! Since i grow in coco i use general hydroponics as my nutes. I haven't been using any flora gro for the past 2 weeks but I've been using flora micro as the schedule they provide says. Its seems to be what has the most nitrogen at the moment. Would it be a safe bet to cut it out for the rest of the grow?

If you have stopped using gro, you are probably fine. Micro doesnt have excessive amounts.
Just dont be hemmed in by their recommendations on feed strength. I got by on 1/2 strength on my first grow without any deficiencies. That is the only time i have used bottled nutes, so your mileage may vary.

I hope you dont have your heart set on a huge harvest? like a pound or anything from what i am seeing 50 grams dry and cured
 
i was just trolling well he posts pics in blurple he gets what he gets
Yeah you're bugging about the 50 grams. I wasn't expecting a pound but a decent yield. and those are the lights I have in my tent. I'm not gonna risk damaging my plant by taking it out to take a picture for you

Hey Man, welcome to RUI. That plant looks very stretched out. When you do your next run try to get more light on them so that does not happen. It will cause inconsistencies when upper and lower bud sites get such different amounts of light. Also you may want to get those top buds away from the light now as they are so close it looks like it may be cooking the top one. Just a thought.

That's exactly what I meant. None of the other plants grew anywhere near that big. I have 8 plants, most are about 3ft and that one skyrocketed to 5.5ft
i was only joking with you it does appear to be foxtailing because it is so close to the light you need to try and even the canopy tie the tops down so the whole plant gets equal ight
