That’s a condition called wheat pheno (I guess).
I’ve heard of it from a Brazilian youtuber but I’ve never found anything about it in articles or internet forums.

@Allan Yes, we call it “fenotrigo” and a literal translation would be “wheat-pheno” but the English term for the internodal growth of flower instead of the usual aspect is Foxtailing.

@Omnipotent11b Thanks! I read on other sources that it doesn’t necessarily affect potency, only if it’s on irregular growth conditions. I’m trying to fix every possible aspect now:
- Let the soil dry and measure runoff for TDS, pH, EC and whatever else information i got.
- Getting the humidity to the proper level
- Lowered LED potency
Attacking on all corners to avoid poor quality.

Might try dimming the AC Infinity in late flower. I never have high temp issues but I do see foxtailing on several strains if I don’t reduce DLI in late flower, running HLG Scorpion Rspec.

@frogyrogy When you dim the light, do you also reduce the height?
No . . . dimming and lowering the lamp have the opposite effect. Dimming lowers the amount of light hitting canopy, lowering lamp increases intensity at canopy. Dim and/or raise the lamp to reduce DLI; brighten and/or lower lamp to increase.

It can also be unstable genetics. It’s a non issue in the vast majority cases unless you are really concerned about symmetrical buds. Granted if it’s environmental you will want to figure out the root cause.
Depending on how far they are in flower.
