Ok, replies:
I'll let you guys know as soon as I know. Perhaps if this plant turns out to be male I could try to make a circumstantial argument that this repulsive odor could be conducive with male AK47 trees.
Dude, that is a fascinating idea. I don't know the sex yet and this "rotten garbage" smell only lasted the first few days of flowering. I have noticed that the node spacing on new nodes is way farther apart than the node growth during vegetation and it could well turn out to be male or hermie. Today is day 7 of flowering so I should know something by the end of the week.
Nope, most definitely not. This grow is Miracle Grow Potting Soil with a 25% Perlite Amendment. The grow is an experiment for me and it's in a very sterile environment, no debris left around, no dirt, nothing like that. Consider it near laboratory conditions similar to what one would expect when working with mycology or fungi (closet is bleached down, vacuumed, etc, etc)
Yup Sonoma is right, the problem is solved but it could lead to an interesting research project if the plant turns out to be male.

Dr, did that plant turn out to be a male?

Sounds like the plant in essence was excreting aromatic compounds that were from over-fertilization. Usually the smell from a healthy plant is pungent, not putrid. Just like when humans eat too much food, or junkfood for that matter, the result is an extra-funky stink than normal. Nice thread.

Could well be. It's in Miracle Grow Potting Soil w/Perlite so who knows the nutrient content really? With so many people using MG I would think someone long before me would have experienced similar results?
Where in the hell am I?

About 3 of my bagseed plants smell kinda like dirty, sweaty gym socks. But they are sticky as fuck, and I flush every 2 weeks. Dont know wats up w/that awful smell in mine. Glad yer grow was so successful!

Two people can have stinky grow rooms for completely different reasons. Plant respiration gives off gas (O2 in the day and CO2 at night) and moisture,.. and these can carry smells from the nutes,.. or just the genetics can be stinky.
it's been my experience, with certain genetics, that males smell differently than females and I've noticed it's because they mature slightly faster (to be the first to pollinate the females). For males maturing quickly is partially survival of the fittest. That may mean the male smells different (more pungent) from females only because it's in a different stage, or a week ahead in maturing (beginning to flower).
I noticed that with white widow recently. Although there were also larger pre-flowers on the males, and I suspected them of being male,.. so it might have been in my head. If I'd let them go, they would have started spitting pollen before the females showed pistils.

Thanks! Yea I really can't explain it. The smell was undeniably like rotting food mixed with bud but it only lasted a brief period (a few days I seem to remember)
