What else makes me think I could be right is the leaves on a small clone I kept just for the fuck of it don’t smell like they should. Kinda sharp and stingy on the nose. Similar to buds but weaker. The stem rub doesn’t have that smell it should. My nose was stinging when I smelled it so I didn’t register much. It wasn’t until I broke open the main stem that I smelled anything that smelled like it should. My theory is smells attach themselves to moist items better than dry and the buds are dense and much more moist than the leaves. This laundry smell gets trapped in the buds and just picks up over time until it mixes and almost overrides the terpenes. It’s not so obvious of a smell until you think about it. There is no mold in these buds I kept. They look great. Well getting darker from the water cure. The humidity was so low in flower. Lower than I’ve ever grown in and I’ve grown In other places that had mold in basements and stuff like that. It was never an issue. Guys I think it may be the detergent or dryer sheets. The smells are pretty deceptive and sometimes smell like mold coming on with the lemony spicy ammonia deal but maybe I was describing it wrong. Idk. Smelling all these buds again and it’s only the ones with more natural lemony smell that have taken on the unnaturally lemony nose burny smell and maybe that isn’t quite ammonia. The buds that naturally had more of earthy Terp are unnaturally musket with a sting On the nose and a very sharp almost cleaner smell. So unnatural. The plants that I would describe as having a more earthy berry type smell have the smell it should have but altered. Deep inside it is more of an almost detergent smell. When I break a bud open There’s such a sharp sting on the nose that it makes it hard to put your finger on what the smell is. It makes it hard to make out scents if that makes sense but it’s like a very sharp cleaner or perfume smell that’s so sharp it makes it hard to smell it but for a second
