Help. My Plants stink

Orius21
Orius21started grow question 4 years ago
Help please! Stink coming from stems and leaves. I'm in week 6 of flower. Buds are still smelling OK but if I rub a stem, or i cut a leaf, an horrible stink comes out (it's something like a dead stink bug). I checked the roots and they look white and healthy. What could it be?

Thanks everyone for the answers. I hope u guys are right. I found some dark circular spots on leaves. I thought it was a phosphorus deficiency, but now I'm thinking it could be a fungus. I uploaded a new question with a picture of it(cause I don't know how to load it here). If you can have a look I will really appreciate it. Thank you

Nothing to worry about. Genetics. I hate the way SubCool used to describe his strains at cat piss, in a favorable way, but it won’t smoke or taste that way once you chop cheers.

Stink bugs love to eat seeds from cababis plants.. dead smell of stink bugs will repell stink bugs.. hope this info helps.. in the origine of the plant genetic the stink bugs were prbably attacking the plants seeds forcing the plants to developpe a defense mecanism.

I know what you mean buddy its normal. Dont worry about it. I laught at onebof my cuts that i have from a strain evrybody love... I tell my friends when its almos 3-4 weeks from harvest the stem smell like insects everybody laugh. But the buds will have a diffrwnt smell that will overpower this. Every buddy love my cut.. but that bug smell ahahhaa. I guess its a defense mecanism

Some strains are just like that geneticly. Ak-47 is one I think smells just like what you describe but it's yummy flavor and smell comes out after a good dry and cure. The plants looking good thou. As long as you don't see signs of mold in or on your soil I wouldn't fret it. 🤘😤
