The only plus is I haven’t had much trouble with humidity.

So working with fabric pots first time, just went to change the run off tray an thought I’d be super careful so also thought lift it up from the bottom an I realized this was not a good idea as I was looking down an saw the coco medium split in half right next to the seedling mm away, so put down immediately an lifted buy the handles, I thought at first lifting from the handles might compress it inwards an cause damage hence why I thought from the bottom would be ok, it’s left me wondering if I’ve possibly just shocked the shit outta of it an fucked it

It should just close back to the same spot it started from and be fine.

Sweet yeah that’s what happened as soon as I placed it back down seedling was fine an standing stong the entire time, just maken sure I I’m not over stressing about a potential fuck up, I so thought it’d be fine picking it up like a regular pot at least I know now.

If you plan to stay with coco consider moving to plastic pots . . . bags are convenient and easy for dirt but really aren’t the best containers to use for any medium. Growing in coco, for maximum plant performance you should consider feeding multiple times a day to runoff . . . High Frequency Fertigation. Bags will work but they can turn into algae covered, messy green blobs with handles, and runoff EC accuracy can be off.
Personally I don’t like the cloth bags regardless of medium. The whole concept of air pruned roots just never made sense to me . . . the old saying “Bigger Roots = Bigger Fruits” is especially true for soil grows, and I see most soil growers using them now. If your roots don’t have anywhere to grow you need a bigger container, not a container that kills those new roots that are seeking and supplying your plant with the goodies needed for growth.

Are you in the v-grow or a regular 2x2x4?

I am aware of most of this, yes after yesterday I was already considering plastic pots, hahaha.

Unless the lighting or my eyes are off the dark green leaves and clawing would indicate excess nitrogen which can cause foxtailing in late flower. May also check light intensity.

I understood that foxtails are due to three causes: genetics, light stress, or heat stress. Does excess fertilizer also affect it?

As far as I know, excessive fertilizer concentration only affects the firmness of the flowers and does not cause foxtails.
Opinions on foxtails vary widely anyway, regarding appearance or quality (allegedly) many try to prevent this. I see it as foxtails bring more yield and I’m not bothered by it.

I’m only running a ripening nutrient for the last two weeks, overdrive by advanced nutrients. It could be the lighting as that cola is higher than the rest tho

I see foxtails as free extra bud.

For sure! I’m not too upset but was hoping for a clean finish. Nothings easy tho!

Stress in general, primarily lighting but environmental stressors such as heat and nutritional imbalances all cause foxtailing. Genetics of course play a factor in those stress responses.
I suggested an excess of nitrogen (which has been shown to cause foxtailing) due to the obvious imbalance in the pictures. The deep green, shiny, clawing leaves screams excess nitrogen . . . but, as @Mjcalifornia said, finishing nutrients only for a couple of weeks. This would lead me to think there was not a proper flush done during the transition to remove excess nutrients left over from the veg stage.
I may be totally incorrect, maybe just light intensity, but my experience says the soil contains high nitrogen levels. All the old timers I know will tell you, intense light, high temps and excess nitrogen = foxtailing.

Good call! I shop vacced the reservoirs but you can only get so much. I’m in coco but had to move my tent into the garage during flower so my vpd is low, probably 1.0 average. Our weather is all over the place too, 80 F and sunshine, then a few days of rain. Looks like 80 F and clear skies now through harvest so hopefully I can finish strong

I’m gonna actually start my flush tomorrow and give it about 2 full weeks to work itself out

Flush and refill complete. Only calmag and ph at 5.7. I actually cleaned out the reservoirs instead of just shop vaccing this time so hopefully that helps
