My girl has been foxtailing for some time now and I was wondering when to harvest. Do I wait until foxtailing stop and hairs on foxtail has dried or gone ?
Foxtailing - when to harvest?

Hey H.D , so easiest way to check to see if ready is to look at the trichomes on the thickest top buds... Foxtailing will continue and continue and continue as long as you'll let it... Problem with that is while you wait for new white pistils to darken, your already peak ripe trichomes full of THC goodness start to degrade and turn into cbn ( aka "ambering" ).... Good for body high not so good for head.
So at this point if the majority of it is ready I would be comfortable telling you to harvest anytime.
Although this is speculation as I cannot see your actual plant. So some photos would help answer your question, if my answer above didn't already help.
Hey Buddy
When she is finished flowering and building for you she stops eating.
It will take longer and longer to empty her pot.
Check pot weight.
How often are you feeding her now?
Stay safe

I have attached these 2 photos of the foxtailing. I have looked at the tricho and they appear mostly cloudy with lots of amber. If and when I harvest do I need to trim out the foxtails?
The times that I had foxtails in the flowers made no difference. They had trichomes and were smoke-able so I included them in the harvest.

Will foxtail dry up and eventually go away or will it continue to foxtail

These are not the same plants from earlier but the same strain
The bud will continue to foxtail as long as the plant is healthy enough to keep growing.
A "foxtail" is just another stem growing out of the side of the bud and this new stem grows its own smaller bud.
I do not believe in the theory that the foxtail itself is bad. I just figure that the plant has been in a flowering stage for too long. I stopped trying to grow buds looking for that couch lock.
