Green leaf volatiles are volatile organic compounds that are released when plants suffer stress pressure. Specifically, they include aldehydes, esters, and alcohols of 6-carbon compounds released after wounding or stress. These compounds are very quickly produced and emitted, and are used by nearly every green plant.
These leafy volatiles originate in the hydroperoxide lyase branch of the oxylipin pathway and they are formed from fatty acids. GLVs are almost ubiquitously made by green plants and their increased release can be caused by abiotic stimuli, by herbivores or pathogens. Their emission is further influenced by environmental conditions such as soil humidity, fertilization and temperature. While un-stressed plants emit only traces of GLVs they can be rapidly formed, within a few seconds upon stress. GLV emission is transient but can be maintained for days upon herbivory or repetitive wounding. The rapidity of production and ability to be boosted continuously are good features of information-carrying molecules and in fact, many studies underline that GLVs have this feature.

The hay smell is the replacement of the plants natural smell due to stress of a growing plant. It is not a competition, it's a takeover. Cannabis should never smell like grass,not for a single day. You can throw dead cannabis around, light it on fire, smash it in a hydraulic press, it doesn't care, but living cannabis does care how it's treated.
This might help someone diagnose their problems. Misidentifying everything in this plant has not helped anyone, it's some green merchant era high times disinfo.
