Wet Towel Smell during Flower

Grow Cycle Flowering
1

Hey everyone, could use a little help… I have on a few occasions had my buds lose their smell and develop an almost wet towel smell, only way I can think to describe it. It seems to go away after harvest dry and cure, but the smell of the bud is definitely weakened. I was stoked because everyone talks about how great winter grow’s are with LED, but I am constantly fighting low humidity issues. I tried using a cool mist humidifier that does help but it is something I have to monitor often.

Type - LED / Soil grow with Ocean Forest and Coco coir in tent.
Strain - Girls Scout Cookies / Auto Fem

I probably don’t know what I’m talking about here, but I was thinking you weren’t supposed to mix soil and coco. I don’t know if that could be your issue, or not, so don’t bank on me.

Thank you Brother, but yeah, it’s very common. Ocean Forest runs hot so people usually like to cut it a little.

I would rather operate with rh a little low than create an environment for mold to thrive. When you say wet towel smell this is what i think of.

I def worry about that too… But It never comes to light, high powered microscope reveals nothing but trichomes… I don’t get it

Got it. I just use happy frog mixed with some extra perlite.
