Now that there’s more heads in here…any of you have a negative experience with Triton’s Trawl?? Like, buds smelling fishy as Scott mentioned?
No, not at all. And Triton's Trawl smells like someone's ass exploded with a fountain of rotten dead nasty shit. If my nugs smelled like that I'd run for the hills. Remember, there's chemistry at work here; this reminds me of the old school "back in the day" grow tips where people would say you could add shit like grape juice to your watering to "flavor" your stuff. Hah.
The process of uptake into the plant and conversion into glucosides is a metabolic process of the plant. Similar to when you eat food and your body converts it into a usable form that then becomes skin, blood, etc. The energy created from photosynthesis is the fuel that induces development; whether this is mitosis for more growth and/or if this relates to terpene development and other artifacts of this metabolic process.
In fact, I've been amazed at how tasty the nugs end up after pouring what smells like a cesspool of the nastiest rank shit you've ever smelled into their containers. But I've never smoked a nug that has come out after heavy and sustained Triton's usage (~30ml/gal for weeks) that even remotely resembled that stank ass smell.
If you have a nug that smells like Tritons Trawl - smack your breeder with a large dead fish and run for the hills.
