My weed doesn't smell strong?

My balls smell strong after a day in the sun.

if I were you...I'd cut them off at once, funk nasty nuggets dangling all stinky

I did, jackass, and I specifically stated that you "DO!" want fans blowing on your plants. Since you want to act like a smart ass, I'll point out that you said..



I'm stating that you absolutely DO want fans blowing on your plants/buds. Ossilating wall fans, I even move the can filters closer, "cornering" the hanging plants. Keep in mind that I'm not advocating "heavy", but light flow. Maybe read the whole post before quoting it. Better yet, comprehend the whole post before shitting on it.

Again, if you don't have fans blowing on your drying plants you run the risk of humid "pockets", which will aid botrytis (bud rot) in taking hold.

Subtle "swaying" of the hanging plants is "ideal".

No idiot you read my post first and comprehend it! During dry you DO NOT WANT FANS BLOWING ON THE PLANTS OR BUDS! Is that hard to understand? This thread was about drying plants not growing plants. You seem to be confusing the two! When growing which this thread wasn't focused on it's a different animal!

Now if you understood what I was saying you'd know that a fan in an area NOT blowing on your drying plants provides the needed circulation for the process. Just remember if you read my post properly I wouldn't be replying to your stupidity.

A fan blowing on the dehumidifier to disperse heat and a ventilation fan on low provides every bit of the needed circulation WITHOUT blowing directly on the drying plants.

Your point about growing plants is noted. But I covered that when asked about flowering plants. But you might have to read and understand more to have known that.

Blowing air at your drying plants speeds up the drying process. That's directly opposite of what is needed. Speed drying leads to crap taste and low smell. If you can't dry your plants without blowing air on them and avoid bud rot. You're doing something wrong. Whether it's over crowding lack of dehumidifier I can't tell you. But I will tell you that I have NEVER EVER pointed my fan at my plants during drying phase and I've never ever gotten bud rot. And they've always smelled awesome and tasted great!

I'm done here I won't be argueing with this guy. I have zero to prove. You can't do it his way and my way. If you want more info from me direct message me. Just because my profile says I'm new doesn't mean I just started and know nothing. My account was seized and I was forced to start over. But I didn't plant my first seed yesterday.

God damn, you are fucking stupid. I'm not talking about bloom, dumb ass, I'm saying that you should have fans lightly blowing on your drying plants, dumb-dumb.

First sentence of my first post, in response to your stupidity...

Odin* said:

You absolutely do want fans blowing/air circulating around your drying buds. It ensures that you won't have a "humid zone" and prevents botrytis (bud rot). Not heavy, but some air circulation is necessary (especially with larger scale). The rest of your advice is solid.

Fucking shit, dumb ass comes at me with "reading comprehension", but can't read, stupid fuck.

For anyone else that has had difficulty in deciphering my coded message; If you do not have fans blowing (lightly) on you DRYING buds, you can have/inadvertently create a pocket of stagnant humid air that can/will lead to botrytis (bud rot). The only way to be absolutely sure that such a pocket of stagnant air/moisture doesn't ruin your buds is to have fans blowing (lightly) on your DRYING buds.

I usually have about 500cfm of "fresh" air going through my drying room. It's an aerobic process. Of it dries to fast up rh I usually dry for about 10 days

my stink sock sucks air out of the tent into the room/back into the tent from the bottom. I have a small fan aimed at the wall inside the tent. never seen mold on buds here.

I'm not talking about a tent, 100's of 7' plants. Without fans ossilating towards the hanging plants...

6-7 days in I start deboning/trim, but leave them laid out until trim/debone is finished, about 4-5 days. So, 10-12 days drying, then bag n' burp starts.

Air circulation "Good", stagnant air "Bad".

Hey OP, you didnt use any ONA or ionizers during you grow for smell control did you?
If you dont use activated carbon/carbon filters, ONA and ionizers with both "zap" the smell from your buds.

I cant use carbon filters because the fan i use has to be relatively quiet/low CFM and pushing through filters doesnt cut smell enough.
I've noticed that since using ionizers/ona, my buds never smell as strong as they used to, even after months of cure. Just my 2cents.

Most houses have air currents enough not to need a fan, most houses will have an adequate drying space if you test around. Neednt be complicated....

Nothing beats the can filters. Throw a length of insulated ducting on top of the can fan, that way you "pull", the ducting acts as a "silencer".

No guarantees there. Humid pocket(s) are a "thing".

I have a humidity meter and this is what vast amounts of growers do with zero problems. The simple ways seem dead here somedays, it neednt be so complex....

@Kingrow1 "Ossilating fans" aren't complex. Better safe than sorry.

Botrytis is everywhere. Leave some strawberries in your "currents" and see what happens.

Haven't gotten MRSA at the gym, despite my previous lack of precaution, but I regularly clean the benchs and lay down a towel now to be safe.

I have grown white widow and white widow big bud and neither of them are super smelly. I have some that has been jared for over a year with boveda and it still smells the same. I wouldn't worry about it

I wouldn't say ww is a strong smelling strain but it has a unique smell.

Not over whelming but still there.

I always actually found cfl to produce better bud ime

Of course not enough so that I'll run em.

I run hps 24/7 and rotate crops to dark room/move light
Simply due to cost and efficiency. Bulb life overall structure at the finish and it stall veg good



Just a penny

That's the very reason I run t5. People knock it but I think mixed spectrum floros make.better bud.

I've tried to tell him. He thinks saying what he does makes him right. I've told him his wrong.

The object is actually to have as little movement as possible to accomplish the goal. He's EXTREMELY worried about "high humidity pockets" and maybe if he lives in amazon jungle that's a problem. Or trying to dry in an actual greenhouse this would be an issue. Or he has absolutely no idea what a dehumidifier is and/or what it does. When set on 50% the odds of that worriesome pocket is infinitely small it's not worth mentioning. NO LESS ARGUING ABOUT! But most of us are growing in our houses. We have air conditioning and heating systems in our houses. So your only concern here really is any moisture coming from the plants them selves. The actual part of the equation that most people will have to concern themselves with is the HEAT from the dehumidifier. That's the only reason I have a fan in the area. Otherwise cross ventilation is really enough. UNLESS OVER CROWDED!

I unwatched this thread but I still got alert. Dam it I thought I was done here.
