UV damage

In week 12, my Wedding Cake Auto had a UV lamp left on for 3 days, causing yellowing of upper fan leaves. After fixing the UV, the plant is recovering, leaves are green, and trichomes are turning to cloudy and amber. However, the plant has no smell. Should I wait or it is evapora

smells is normally to do with temps and genetics. Not all plants are super smelly and some of them the smells really only come out in the cure. If the temps are cool and the plants are not to fragrant that can be a good thing. Meaning the terps are not evaporating and staying in place. Or it could also be a bad thing and mean the plants themselves are not producing terps. some smell is good. lots of smell is not. There are products out their for increasing terps and stuff. but if you feed a good system of nutrients I don't think they are needed. plus if I remember correctly the products consist mostly of simple carbs and some acids like humic and fulvic with some amino acids aka protriens as well. Give it some time and turn off the UV it won't be needed if you in the end stretch like a week left.

Over ripe and spiralling towards death.......this is why the aroma has gone.

Week 12 is pretty much the end for most autos anyways and it should fade out now naturally, so just chop it, buds look pretty ripe :) If they had smell before the UV and don't have smell now, it's too late to fix it since terps are already decreasing way before this point. If it didn't have smell before the UV, it' s just genetic. Shouldn't hurt the potency though
