hey guys! I'm now on week 5 of flower almost on week 6 and for the past two or three weeks I've had a musty smell on my buds, but none of them show any mold. I've had my RHO under 50% since induced flowering except one time I had to basically cover my exhaust and when I opened my tent up I had smelt a musty smell and ever since then it's been faint, but there. Also I had split my buds to look into where the stem is and I didn't see any browning, just green. When I spread the buds I get a strong aroma of the plant but not when it's just sitting there. Any thoughts on what could be my problem?

What strain is it? I have a strain that smells terrible like mold while growing and after cured. Bust open a bud and it smells wonderful, tastes wonderful. Not very popular so I discontinued it for now. Mine is a blue magoo.

Have you looked at it with a loupe or micro scope to see if you can see fuzz? Have someone else smell them for a second opinion?

It may not be a problem at all depending on the strain. If you've thoroughly checked over your buds, don't see any fuzz, mildew in the soil or anything that doesn't 'look right' it's probably the strain being a stinky one. I had a grow out doors that smelled like putrefied death, thought she was rotten, but let her grow. Turned out to be the most potent one of the bunch.
Right now, my indoor tent smells like a skunk had the wet farts. No molds, mildew or anything visible, so yea I'm looking forward to that one.

Well the thing that's bothering me is I have all different strains but they all have this distinct slight musty smell. And I don't have a microscope but I ordered one and it should be here on Thursday in growing Skunk passion, GSC, Larry OG, Platinum OG, Cannatonic #4, Gorilla Glue #4
