What’s wrong with the smell?

Any advice? Im doing my 1st grow, Zkittlez autoflowers from seed. Today’s 1st day of week 9. 2-3 weeks left. Everything has been going perfect but they’ve gone from a candy smell to a bit hay-ie or like weeds from outside smell. What have I done? Have I ruined them?

Is it healthy? Any rot? The aroma will evolve over time.. I wouldn't worry about it until the buds are dried/cured. Before that point if it is a healthy plant, that is all you have control over anyway, for the most part.

Smell is mostly from genetics but also some has todo how well you grow the plant Drying and cureing weed can make or break weed on the smell… sometimes after dying and cutting the smell comes back to some weed

No, you haven’t ruined them. It’s normal for terps to shift late flower – many strains lose their “candy” smell mid-ripen and take on grassy or earthy tones, especially as pistils darken. Smell will come back during drying and especially curing, as long as you harvest at the right time and dry slow.

🌸 Sweet smell gone? 😨 *"Did I ruin it??"* 💨 Nope! Just a phase. Sometimes buds smell weird before the magic kicks in. 🕰️ Let her finish. 🌬️ Dry right. Cure slow. 🍭 Candy smell comes back like *BOOM*. You’re fine, growmie.
