Hey @scotts66charger1 - it would be hard to know without a lot more information… maybe start with posting pictures of your grow/harvest? Were you measuring dli during your grow? What strain/breeder is it?

Possible causes: high temps during flower, using nitrogen in late flower, low humidity/high temperature during drying, genetics…

It can happen. Once they begin curing, the aroma should develop.

Spread the bud open and take a whiff :grin:. They’ll regain some scent through the curing stage :love_you_gesture:

Mine will fade or smell like the front lawn sometimes during drying but the smell pops back with a vengeance during cure. Or you have gone nose blind to it, happens a lot.

Im not sure of the STRAIN, as some seeds got mixed together. I will try and post a few pix of the plant. TY

They look awesome - so yeah I wouldn’t think it’s anything you did… like others said it’ll probably come back.
That’s cool - I didn’t know they can drop their smell during drying temporarily - always learning! :two_hearts:

From my understanding both temp and RH should be around 60 but others will chime in :wink:

It’s a GOOD thing in my opinion that they don’t smell. If they smell alot it means the terpenes are evaporating from the flowers. You really want to keep them.

Usually they smell more in higher temps until they dont anymore. Don’t have any fan blowing directly on them.

Give them a proper dry and jar them, then you will see.

Good evening. I’m not sure what I’m supposed to be looking for, but I looked again, and It is not mold, but I’m not sure if that’s what you were talking about.?

I stuck my finger in a few of the white spots, thinking if it was Mold it would stink like ROT, but it smelled like Skunk.. The most smell I have had since I started.
