Hi,
This question comes up in other threads but I'm curious to see if anyone has any more info to share!
I am on my third grow now, having been unsuccessful with my first two grows. My first two grows, I threw out the plants near the end of their flowering stage because I noticed a musty smell coming from them (and less frequently, from the tent itself).
Now that I'm on my third grow, at least one of my plants has the musty smell again. I'm wondering if I'm being paranoid because it's my first time(s) growing, so I don't know what growing buds smell like! I'm wondering if I threw away my first two grows unnecessarily
So here's some more info:
-I keep the RH between 40-45%, although in early flower it was in between 45-60% (because I didn't know much about humidity levels then, may have been too high?)
-Growing mostly-Indicas
-Temperatures sometimes creep too high (27 degrees Celsius) but I've been keeping them lower now (23-26 C)
-have an AC Infinity S6 for exhaust but kept on low setting (2/8 due to noise levels)
-AC Infinity T6 for intake but kept on low setting (2/8 due to noise levels)
-Two fans: One oscillating, one not, each one on for 12 hours a day so one fan is always on, day or night
-Soil does not smell musty, only some of the buds
-Have not seen any signs of mildew or mold that I know of (no powdery-looking stuff on plants or soil)
-I looked inside a few buds to see near the stalk. No signs of mold that I know of.
So what do you all think? Does weed when it's growing just smell musty? Or am I getting hit with mildew or mold repeatedly?
Thank you!
EDIT:
A bit more info:
I'm growing autoflowers exclusively, at the moment I've got Lemon Pie CBD, Peachy CBD, and NL #5. The Peachy CBD is the one with the musty smell.
-Pots are one-gallon fabric pots
-I think I've been careful with the watering (only watering when first few inches of soil are completely dry, and soil further down is quite dry as well.
