Where's my baby's stank? I've done a dozen or so grows: cocos, dwc, shallow dwc... and while I have had some slight odor, I have yet to have an all out stink bomb of a grow. Don't get me wrong, this is a good thing because I'm ultra stealth, but is it a sign of deficiency?

Agitate your plants (don't agitate your plants) and it'll smell more, lol. Anecdote is sketchy. People like to project superios things on to the things they whimsically do. I doubt any evidence exists to support it... the primary difference in nutrient delivery is outside the plant.. how it gets used inside the plant is according to a cookbook, called dna... there's no substitutes when building cellulose or thca etc... the molecules wouldn't function if built differently. There are other avenues for potential differene, but when someone makes a hypothesis, the onus is on them to prove it. Human senses are not good enough. If the smell is strong, that likely just means the loss of terpenes through evaporation and whatever else is happening at an increased rate. There is variability beyond that, as life is seemingly complicated on the surface but adheres to rules.. this is a deterministic reality.. there is no room for mysticism.

It’s normal for plants to sometimes smell stronger or weaker. The smell can range from baby diapers to a candy shop. From our experience, when a plant suddenly starts smelling very intense and rather unpleasant, something might be wrong. Check the plant and the buds for any dry spots, as this can be a sign of mold. Inspect the plant and flowers with a magnifying glass as well, maybe there is an issue you haven’t noticed yet. If you can’t find anything, just keep observing it. Of course, it could also simply be normal for this strain to smell that strong. Good luck! 😀
