Popcornin. Odd Growth Patterns

? for Canna grow artists. What’s it called when the flower starts to bud on top of bud creating like it’s own little tower. Almost like little hair Dreads in all directions. Lil Coolio’s😂. We used to call it popcornin. But there’s a name for it? I hated it. Is it normal? Salute all the grow artists!! Mad Respect!!
Is it light stress?:woman_shrugging:t3: It can happen under cool conditions as well. Asking because in the future I might grow some personal legally. Happy Halloween to all artists and canna workers!! Enjoy!! Thank You!!

Foxtailing is the term you’re looking for.

High PPFD can definitely cause it. Some strains are more prone than others.

Popcorn usually refers to the lower buds that didn’t develop as much.

its when you have seeds in the joint and they POP! JK, another cause of foxtailng is using lots of co2 past midflower.

OK wow!!! That’s huge!!!

Too much heat and too much light mid to late flower can reliably cause this.

Amen to that. I like your word reliably!!! So weeks 2-6 hit with CO2 and have intense lighting. Push hard at those times. Then back off lighting. Add some UV. Raise your lights remove CO2. Not until you feel their under control hit them with a Bloom Boosters. Or the PK boost which is heavy on Potassium? We have one bloom boost that creates good steady growth. Then there’s a PK booster for the very end. I learned the hard way this can lead to foxtails fast if administered too fast. Not bad though. I always go slow to see how she reacts. She might want a divorce after🤦‍♂️. If you can add and critique what I’ve said here I would truly be appreciative!!! Thank You AgTonik!!! Your the man!!!

Hey thanks bud.

I haven’t used a PK booster in 10 years. Phosphorus only needs to be sufficient for the plant’s needs. You can’t force feed it. You are going to end up rinsing it out anyways and have a greater potential for black ash. Sap or leaf analysis will let you know if you are really dialing in your nutes for your facility.

In my case there was high heat and multiple tents in one space on different schedules.so I was kinda running hot and high in co2 so different tents were suffering. It was a hot mess?
