I’m in week 5 flower got some seeds by in-house genetics, slurricane and garlic sherb both looking pretty nice so far. They don’t stink a lot yet right off the plant only if I touch them and smell my gloves. Was just wondering when each strain will start to pick it it’s individual smell, attached a few photos below. First 2 are garlic sherb and last 2 are slurricane

Nice buds! By this time they should be humming without touching the buds.

Don’t get disheartened as some can really become pungent in the last 2-3 weeks

Thanks mate was thinking that it’s looking quite nice but not got a lot of smell to it hoping it kicks in soon, last 2-3 weeks like you say I’ll probably run them to week 10 or 11 if I have to

Anything I could be doing wrong that will affect the smell? I’ve got the temps at 28 degrees day and 24 night and humidity around 50 day and 45 night, feeding 1.8EC base feed with some pk and boost, going to start dropping the feed a little bit in next 10 days as I get into week 6-7

Oftya that’s toasty. Terpenes will be evaporating around the temp. Ideally want around top 24-25 late flower.

One crucial element for terpene production is sulphur. Potassium sulphate and magnesium sulphate (Epsom salts) are what I use: but potassium sulphate is best used early/mid flower,

if I were you I’d add 1g per gallon of epsom salts until last week.

Ok mate cheers I’ll try turn temps down only got it that high to control humidity, I’ve been feeding some pk booster but that’s it. I have this Westlab epsom salt type stuff will this work?

I was just looking it up this shogun pk booster I’m using is meant to have potassium sulfur and phosphorus

Good looking plants. I wouldn't worry too much about smells. It will come. Some stronger than others. Sometimes mine smell stronger when they are younger. They are all different but by the looks of those buds you'll be fine. Also depends on environment. Obviously a warm humid room is going to give off more terps than a cool dry room etc.

They should be smellin by now but I wouldnt touch them it literally loses potency that wont come back. I dont think new trichs grow just per calyx and once broken Id be intregued if they actually do grow more. Any way when Im desperate I swipe some leafs but that usually dont always work and now I lost meds.

I just lean in reaallll close with my nose almost touching the buds smelling it. Just various spots of the bud. Some smell more or different from others sometimes. Maybe due to accidently touching it and spoiling some of the smells its not as original idk thats my bro science.

I been there before idk how many grows youve done but I just now got good at leaving them be. I lost incopiuos amounts of hash just machine trimming so thats why I wouldnt touch them, literally loses potency. Anyway I mostly came to say that but also wow! Beautiful buds Ill be damned if you dont end up happy with those!!

Very hashy Im surprised you dont have much to smell but strains grow different Ive only grown like 7 my whole life.

Thanks mate, yeah I was thinking they look they happy tbh. yeah true mate I only went week 5 yday so hoping maybe next week or so when it starts to ripen up. I had the controller set at 28day 24night but just dropped it to 27 and humidity is sitting around 50-53 during day and 45-50 during night

Aye mate I’ve not touched them much tbh, I just poked one of the buds to see coz they weren’t smelling much this morning but thank you mate looking good starting to get some colour about them as well, hoping the terps come out next week or so as I just turned week 5 yesterday. Happy so far mate getting frosty, just missing that smell slightly haha.

Yeah mate I read that they can be different, this is my first run of the seeds so maybe they’re just sort of slow i dk haha.

A lot of the smell/taste is going to come from the phenotype. In-house has always had some great pheno's on every strain I've done but some of the pheno's also didn't have a strong smell or taste. Starting from seeds kinda sucks because you have to grow them out first to find the good ones to clone

Aye mate they look nice so far just missing the smell haha, but yeah mate I’ve taken some clones so will see what ones are best before run them again
