No smell

[Patricf1]

What kind of water are you using? What do you add first? Second?? How concentrated is your mix when you are all done?

I add the solubles first to an empty jug. Then I add about a quart of tap water and give it a good swirl to dissolve it. Then I go down the list....
Big Bloom
Grow Big
Tiger Bloom
Wholly Mackarel
Kelp me Kelp you
Bembe

Then I fill the remainder of the gallon jug.
I use the FF schedule and only use what is needed for each part of the grow cycle.

Am using almost the full set of FF.
I dont actually flush.
I do harvest on Sundays which is after 2 watering cycles and before my nute cycle.

Ok so here's my diagnosis. Its your harvesting and curing that its your problem.
So flush for at least 2 weeks prior to chopp. Then hang your plant still on the branch do not wet trim.
DO NOT PLACE THEM ON ANYTHING PLASTIC! Dry for 5-10 days no less before you jar.

Might not be able to go 2 weeks flush on the next plant to harvest. I nuted today and it is already showing an amber trich here and there. Will see....

This might be a mistake, adding the solubles first to an empty jug. Here’s the thing @Patricf1, Fox Farms thinks you will

Add things in the proper order, usually noted on the feeding schedule
Always add fertilizers to water, not to each other
Manage your pH before feeding
Dilute the final mix before feeding to the EC or PPM range specified on the feed schedule

For sure others with more experience can correct me, I've only used the base Fox Farms fertilizers and I followed the schedule, which you can find here:

I don't mean to suggest this is your only issue though, nor the only fix you need to make. This thread has offered you several great tips all the way through to harvest, drying and curing. Clearly there is much you can do to improve your final product.

So we just have your word for it, zero proof you had non smelling genetics and a chance for the world to ditch their carbon filters....

I refer to my last statement and yes it would net millions in sales - no smell.....!

Well you can believe whatever you want, it definitely was genetics. I’ve grown well over a thousand plants and have never had this happen before. I also had multiple other plants from the same seeds and other strains growing at the same time which all smelled wonderful like usual from start of flower till they got smoked.

Also non smelling weed would not be the best seller In the world. The smell and flavor of the plants is a part of what makes it enjoyable. The terpenes absolutely effect the high.

lmao yep my word and those who smoked it and smelled it.....or maybe I should so couldn't smell it......

Why the fuck would I lie about having a plant that didn't smell or taste like anything. Are you really that nuts Kingrow1. It's not something I was excited about. Most growers would rather use a carbon filter and have yummy tasty smelly weed then the opposite. I get what you are saying about illegal production being lower key without smell, but I really don't know anyone that would make that tradeoff, we all like good weed and that includes the terpenes.

if its smell and taste you want dont use chem ferts and go all organic and maybe switch to different genetics

Don't repeat non-sense like all that. Nutrients are nutrients, learn how to feed a plant properly and watch it grow into a healthy plant and if its got good genetics and you did a good job it will smell good and taste good. People RAVE about the taste and smell of my hydro grown buds. You can't carry it around in your pocket without everyone knowing its on you.

Dude the differences have been proven to be minor differences not some be all end all that hard core organic people try to make it out like.

There are tons of awesome ways to grow outstanding tasting and smelling cannabis!

Get better genetics. I grew 80 strains before finding out that you dont need to cure or squeeze your buds to smell them if you have bomb genetics.

That may be true, but there is still some room for improvement on my end I imagine.

You could be throwing off the nutrient ratios by mixing solubles together, i would add water first then mix one at a time, if your using any type of product that contains silica it needs to be mixed last, right before using any pH up/down.

Skill set will improve as you go, try not to overfeed in late flower, good luck bro.

There is nothing to imagine and with respect you are missing the point. You are not following best practices, not with your fertilizer, not with your watering schedule, not with harvesting and certainly you are not following best practices when it comes to drying and curing your bud. At every turn, you have some bad habits to unlearn.

When it comes to mixing your fertilizers though, you are a disaster. Mixing things incorrectly means things end up NOT AVAILABLE to your plants. This is a must. Starting now. Before you fix anything else, you need to get a handle on your fertilizers and watering.

And read about fertilizers here: https://www.growweedeasy.com/nutrients

Seriously, until you address this issue with your fertilizers and watering, nothing else you do is likely to make any difference. Two quotes from Cervantes The Cannabis Encyclopedia, page 101:

“The aroma, taste and ultimately the effects of smoked cannabis depend on the mix of terpenes and cannabinoids.”

And

“Cannabis plants lose their fragrance for a combination of reasons, all of which involve destruction of terpenes or of the creation of a poor environment for terpene development.”

Best wishes for a smelly grow!
