The smell is gone

[flylowgethigh]

As I wait for the flowers to fully develop (week 6-7 flowering), I am noticing stickiness getting less, and the smell going away.

WTF? Either I am immune to the smell, have WuFlu, or the smell is evaporating off.

What am I doing wrong? Do I nee to call ole drew and get some truterpenes to pour on the flowers?

 

[Growenhaft]

do a corona test. if this is negative, you should provide us with more information and pictures.

Bad genes. Calcium shortage. You fed something.

​​​​​​Bad genes: today's stuff seems like it was selected by amateurs, before it was even harvested.

Calcium shortage: Probably the biggest overall deficiency in modern cannabis. I've seen grows go from horse feed to birthday bud by getting calcium in order.

You fed carbon: During flower the plant will cannibalize itself of carbon to build bud. If you add an additional carbon source during this time, you change the building blocks of your bud from natural to unnatural. I turned delicious tasting Fruity Pebbles into "disgusting tainted monkey bread dropped in melted plastic". I turned gourmet Dreamsicle into "licorice dropped in stagnant pond". I've turned purple Hawaii candy into offgasing plastic bags. Smile inducing Garlic bud into vomit inducing hotdog cream. All by adding a carbon source during flower. Note: It is 100% impossible to enhance cannabis by feeding an alternative WEOC: Anyone who claims they've improved their cannabis with sweeteners or enhancers.. Well if they improved their bud, it must have tasted like pk booster in the first place..

go outside and take a walk to get some fresh air then when you still don´t smell anything... tell me what you´ve done to the plants to make them not smell anymore, so I can apply it to my future grows

 

[JustGrowing420]

Did you foliar spray them with anything in flower maybe?

 

[flylowgethigh]

These have not been subjected to a foliar feeding, except the Runtz rabbit which got blasted with the other 3 I have already pulled. These 3 remaining plants have gotten bug spray treatments (and usually with lights blazing).

Maybe too much air circulation through the tent? I am gonna drop the tent with 2 weeks left down to 11/13, make it think it's September..

Look at how G x D x OPG is doing on the sugar leaves. Yellowing back to the frost line:

I have started adding cal-mag plus to the water of the flowering plants. It does seem to help. The ones which spent month outside in the second half of veg, and looked great for it, have started showing defeciencies. When I add the cal-mag the plants are drinking the water faster and greener leaves.

 

[Cuddles]

I´ve noticed that the plants smell stronger or weaker during different times of day / light / darkness. did you check on the plants at the same time as usual?

 

[JustGrowing420]

you mean you sprayed your plants with pesticide in flowering and with the lights on also? or am I misunderstanding?

 

[flylowgethigh]

Had to spray. Spider mites were having a party on the main cola back in the rear of that top pic - so I had to cut off the top of the cola and spray.

Lights were on. Purecrop1 and Greenclean (which killed off the mites).

 

[JustGrowing420]

So maybe is that responsible for your problem?

Imagine that!! getting the borg mid flower . Yet still harvesting the dank . Why bother with ipm.



I see it this way. Bomb diggity, chronic gets 90/100 points were talking expertly grown in a climate controlled clean environment flawlessly dried hand trimmed and cured to perfection.

Screw up any of the 100s of things that can go wrong and you lose points. Once points are lost they cannot be regained. Overwater after up potting minus 5 points . timer fails 2 weeks into flower - 10 . Stagnant air not thought about in the back corner -15 points. Too close to light -5 , too far from light -5 . Overheat crop - 2 points per hour . Too cold at lights out -8 . Pots got too cold -8

You get the idea so now u have to make the call how far to take this crop and how to process it

Its all good because next crop as long as babies are thriving u start fresh with 100 points again

Edit: after I typed this I got the coffee cup the bud that had the mites/web is in. I had sprayed it with the same stuff I hit the tents with, just to make sure the stuff works. Took the bud and cut it into several pieces so it could dry. There is zero smell on the bud parts, unless I grind one.

Ain't had the PM yet. I am surprised at how easy it was to get rid of the spider mites. At least I see no more webs.

The place I get this stuff from says they spray all the way up to harvest, with no ill results. Maybe it the light that is the issue.

In the tent I pictured, two of those are still showing white pistals, while the AK47 front-right are all brown and have been for days. Should I use the pistals or the color of the tric heads, to make the decision when they are ready? I am going to chop these in stages, taking the main cola shoots, and leaving the little branches for more time.

That very same thing happened to me a few months ago. I had a strong smelling plant one day, then the next day, no smell at all, nothing! I was shocked, come to find out, I got covid-19 and couldn't smell anything. It took a long time to smell again, I can smell now about 80%. Your grow looks good and I bet if you bust inside one of those buds, you will get some smell. Those are some sweet looking buds.

 

[mexweed]

don't be so confident the mites are gone, it could be from damage they've caused, green clean that's the stuff that gives the buds a goofy dill pickle flavor isn't it

Never bring plants Inside from Outside.
Recipe for Disaster. Always assume you have Bugs when you do.

Sound Familiar?

Spider Mites create a new generation every 48 hours. Exponential population growth occurs Indoors. Do not underestimate them.

Don't spray plants in Flower. Don't Vape/Smoke pesticides.

This.
No matter what any bottle or spray reads on the label, it is common sense that you do not want ANYTHING other than resin on your buds. Especially dead bugs and pesticides.
Also never apply foliars with the lights on as the droplets act as magnifying glasses creating hotspots on the plant surface.

I have lost the smell of my plants before because of excessive heat.

 

[Growenhaft]

da die Tröpfchen als Lupen fungieren und Hotspots auf der Pflanzenoberfläche erzeugen.

The magnifying glass effect only occurs in cannabis species with hairy leaves.

because without this hair the drop of water will lie flat on the leaf. if this is the case and there is therefore no layer of air between the leaf and the drop, the magnifying glass effect cannot occur.

how many types of cannabis with hairy leaves do you know?

Back to topic

when you look at the leaves of the plant ... do you see the lightening of the leaves from the tip of the leaf inwards? the dead leaf tips, which curl up?

that is a lack of potassium. so it's no wonder that smell and aroma go down the drain.

Potassium is a special nutrient, the only one that is absorbed by the plant in a special way. Potassium has a special access to the plant.

a deficiency in potassium will mostly be an exclusion than a real deficiency. Most potassium exclusions arise because the calcium-magnesium-potassium ratio is disrupted. from too much magnesium and calcium. You can usually see this in the home grower area when working uncontrolled with Epsom salt ... or uncontrolled cal / mag administered.

In a professional manner, with magnesium and calcium fertilization, potassium is always increased ... so that the situation remains.

that´s just not true. In nature,like in the desert for example 1 drop of water can cause a fire. I´ve seen entire an tree burn down due to single drop in the hot sun. and that tree didn´t have hairs, that´s for sure
so what @JustGrowing420 said is absolutely correct.

 

[Growenhaft]

das stimmt einfach nicht. ​

In der Natur, wie zum Beispiel in der Wüste​

And you have that sun in your grow tent, right.

The radiance of our lamps, given the distance to the light source, is not nearly enough to cause burns ... even if they have hairy leaves.

and no, it's not about the hair ... even if there is stinging hair ... that's different. you need a cushion of air under the magnifying glass otherwise that won't work ... simple physics.

before you accuse someone of lying the next time ... question whether your modest half-knowledge is sufficient.
