Possible mold issue

I've had a drastic change in smell... overnight. Smell went from very pungent to an earthy almost musty smell. Could this be a precursor to bud rot? Or is this sometimes normal? Humidity avg 50-55% during day and no higher than 65% at night with constant ventilation/circulation

First, a change of smell alone may not be mold, but you'll want to look them over for symptoms... check out google images for some examples and go to work. you've probably smelled a moldy room before... if it has hints of that, it's not a great sign but i'd still observe for 100% verfication before doing anything crazy.. Those aren't dangerous levels for microbial growth. The night time humidity is a bit inviting but borderline. You may be colonized and need a deep clean of the area and the room, especially if you have a recorring problem. If you do find some rot, definitely decontaminate the area thoroughly before next grow. Try cutting out any rot and carefully removing, like you would with a pollen sac -- with concern about spread.

Hey If you're getting a smell that wasn't there before, but is also unpleasant then it's worth doing a few adjustments. I'd go through and wipe down most of the tent, under the pots or trays, along the walls ,in case of any stagnant water. Also are you smelling the strange smell where the pot is?if so maybe water with a hydrogen peroxide mix to cleanup the roots and anything negative down there. Then do a small defoliation to open up air and light in case you are getting some moisture pockets. Happy growing.

Hi, Look at your pot, if you see white or greyish On top of the grow medium then u def have a mold problem. Reduce water intake, decrease humidity, try to trim the plant so there is air flow going to the buds, Trim affected areas. Mostly try to keep humidity and temperature at low leves. Happy harvest!!!!👊👊👊
