Dont seem to be budding

No my first grow...but feels like it!
have autos 3 weeks in. And looks like they just keep growing fox tail or new growth after another.

A bit blurry to see the close up pics.
from what I can see, I don’t see any foxtails yet? They look pretty “young” in the flowering phase. Isn’t they just developing their buds ?
maybe not the speed you want.. But it doesn’t look like foxtails.
I could be wrong - but I’m pretty sure someone here will correct me, if I am

Looks like it's just about to start throwing pistils any day now. They never grow as fast as we want 😣 patience, we never have enough.

I believe you're right CaptainWiese91 too early in development still. I have a strain that looks like it's starting to foxtail a bit but I'm not sure if it's that, or the buds are just fattening up really fast cause it's the last few weeks. Anyway, from what I understand it's mostly caused by the lights being too close and/or heat. Obviously there are other things that can make them foxtail, but I think that seems most common. Tommyboy if you think it may be starting to foxtail, you can try moving your light a few inches farther from your canopy and see if that helps. This may help a little https://www.growweedeasy.com/foxtails

The most common is the light to close. Made that mistake when going from a HPS to a LED. Ruin my grow one time.. 🤦🏼
But I really don’t se foxtails here. Tommyboy I think you are good for now 🙏🏻

I agree, I don't think there's anything to worry about. Mine are a little close to my lights so I've been keeping an eye on them. Not a lot I can do at this point though, my lights are already as high as they'll go.

At 3 weeks in they will just be starting to flower, give them 2 weeks!

Yep have a bit more patience with autos especially if you topped or tied them down, clipped leaves or moved them around different lighting. I've not grown them long i'm photo period but I have autos bloom at 3wks and 5 wks so if it goes past 8wks I would look into changing the light 12/12 to flower. Good luck
