yeah if I slap em they stink hard and fast LOLthat was my experience too when i was running 10kw. they didn't really smell until you started man-handling them

The difference between the smell in the room at lights on and off is pretty bigyeah if I slap em they stink hard and fast LOL
Based on recent events, the low stink theory seems to be legit. My latest round of plants were skunky when they started but the smell faded as they settled in. After repotting, the smell came back but faded again. I recently changed grow room temp and boom! Smell is back. They clearly don't like the change.i have stinkless strains that will run someone out of the room when dry, but i've had super stinky plants too... the oscillating fan seemed to make them put the smell out
No tent. My flower room is 14x10, with 3000 watts of HID, 10' ceiling, and I keep the lights 18"-24" from the top of the canopy. I have 18 plants in there at all times in various stages of growth. All 3 lights are on a light rail moving over headNothing in what you posted ,,,, no ?
Are you in a tent ? Do your plants have access to normal barometric pressure ? Are your lights to close ?
There you go negating those young swat team members with big guns LOLnot enough smell is released for your nose or the nose of your buddies to detect either
you must all be over 70 with nasal hair down to your feet LOL
Can ya raise the lights ?No tent. My flower room is 14x10, with 3000 watts of HID, 10' ceiling, and I keep the lights 18"-24" from the top of the canopy. I have 18 plants in there at all times in various stages of growth. All 3 lights are on a light rail moving over head
Been sayin it for many years, Happy plants don't stink, now some take offense to me usin the word happy but it's still true that in the right conditions they simply don't stinkBased on recent events, the low stink theory seems to be legit. My latest round of plants were skunky when they started but the smell faded as they settled in. After repotting, the smell came back but faded again. I recently changed grow room temp and boom! Smell is back. They clearly don't like the change.
It is unlikely that what I've observed is strain-specific, but it's still possible, given my sample size (statistics term).
Yes.Can ya raise the lights ?
You have your HID's closer than I have my T5's
I would say play with it and see how they respond ?Yes.
I will try that. 36" optimal?
You should call it "Cold Plants Don't Drink" or how about "Warm Plants Don't Grow Slow" loli just watch them grow faster when its hotter, and they drink more too
maybe ill write a book about it one day lol
Yes, I can for example easily smell the pinene in my P cross during veg already.i also find that the leaves during veg type growth can vary hugely in smell and i find this is often overlooked
I have never experienced *zero* smell, but when my plants are happy, the odor can be easily managed with an open jar of Ona.You should call it "Cold Plants Don't Drink" or how about "Warm Plants Don't Grow Slow" lol

"It was suggested that the terpene emission varied with leaf oil production."
They keywords say a lot too:
"terpene emission from trees, leaf oil production, contact stimulation, forced emission, influence of temperature and light". Multiple factors and varies per season.
Another one: "Maximum emissions of α-pinene occurred in spring and maximum emissions of limonene in winter."
So the influencing factors temp and light can affect different "smell" differently itself. They also emit at different rates. For cannabis forums that translates to: it depends on the strain.
Happy plants don't smell" is a good title for its purpose but paints a false dilemma imo. Terpene emission is rather normal for trees and plants. It can be practically zero for some species though. For example, "Aliens emit more than natives" (Measurement of volatile terpene emissions in 70 dominant vascular plant species in Hawaii)
None of the aliens emit zero. The main difference is that natives are at home, adjusted over thousands of years, while aliens are arguably not as happy in their relatively new environment.
Unhappy (abiotic and physologically stressed, both considered harmful) plants do emit more terpenes but it just seems unlikely that all cannabis varieties are plants that can reduces terpene emission to zero especially when used to grow sinsemilla and are usually a combination of genes from various places across the world.
Good stuff my friend, but doesn't explain why other growers have duplicated my results ?Happy plants don't smell" is a good title for its purpose but paints a false dilemma imo.
Wasn't trying to either. I'm not entirely disagreeing and could make a few good arguments that support your claim just as well. I just see no conclusive science either way. As much as I consider cannabis just a plant, it is in this context a very special plant.Good stuff my friend, but doesn't explain why other growers have duplicated my results ?
A claim easier to defend and agree with but still has to lead to the obvious questions: how to you determine the happiness level, and how to you equate that to a better product?I have never experienced *zero* smell, but when my plants are happy, the odor can be easily managed with an open jar of Ona.
if i duplicated your results i would quit forever.Good stuff my friend, but doesn't explain why other growers have duplicated my results ?
I thought you already had ?if i duplicated your results i would quit forever.
no, i prduce healthy plants which actually have buds on them, instead of 20" worth of ragged leaves and wispy hairs.I thought you already had ?
I meant quit LOLno, i prduce healthy plants which actually have buds on them, instead of 20" worth of ragged leaves and wispy hairs.
And for what it's worth that high CBD Hash Plant was turned into oil for a friendno, i prduce healthy plants which actually have buds on them, instead of 20" worth of ragged leaves and wispy hairs.
not sure i believe you since that picture was posted with you bragging about the size of the "cola", if you can even call it that.And for what it's worth that high CBD Hash Plant was turned into oil for a friend
I'm not the one that named plant parts, so when I say cola with regard to plants (not soda) I am merely parroting what I have learned, some what like so many others LOLnot sure i believe you since that picture was posted with you bragging about the size of the "cola", if you can even call it that.
