My plants lost their smell going into second week of flower. Does anyone have any idea why? I accidentally gave them to much bud enhancer, can this be the reason?

Hey man, I have had this happen to me before for various reasons. Sometimes it's just genetics like Rubyfruit said and the smell will pick up again in a couple weeks. Although I have over fertilized with bloom boosters in the past and the smell did die off as well as the pistils, thus initiating a premature end to flowering. Don't panic though, there probably is nothing wrong. The best advice I can give you is to go easy on the bloom boosters and use a general blooming fertilizer like optimum hydroponics A and B or any other hydroponic fertilizer. Even though it's outdoor I find I get great results with these types of ferts in all types of mediums. Anyway as they say, less is always more with MJ growing. Good luck dude!

WHEW,thank you everyone for your help and advice. It scared the shit out of me. They look really healthy and Flowers look reallygood. I used Floralicious Plus as the bud enhancer and as a foliar spray , I didn't know you were only supposed to use the foliar spray in veg. Or is that true? Like I said this is my first time and I'm going off growers and internet advice. I'm just an old lady wingin' it! I'm hoping to spread the medicine for people who really need it. BTW, I can't smoke myself because it gives me panic attacks, but could REALLY use it medicinally. I live with ALOT of pain. Any suggestions on a strain that has little head and NO PANIC to it ??? :peace:

Hi, how often do u feed liquid bone meal? I give it every time I feed which is every third day. I'm wondering if that's too much. How often do u feed and how often do u give the bone meal? Thanks

Also, which bulk is better, Kool Bloom liquid or Cha Ching ?
Kool Bloom is a stand alone bloom nute, it works good. Cha Ching is the 3rd Bloom nute in the fox farms water soluble trio of CHEMICAL NUTES. Open Sesame is #1, Beastie Bloom is #2, Cha Ching is #3. Right now, where I live (southern Oregon) you would be transitioning from Open Sesame to Beastie Bloom. My advice, forget that Fox Farms stuff and go with the Kool Bloom until you get some more growing experience.

There are basically 4 kinds of Cannabis. (Not counting strains here) Indica...Sativa...Ruderalis...Hemp. Sativa has the "mind" high. This will increase the severity of your panic attacks. Indica is more of a "body" high. You'll sit on the couch, watch the Kardashians, and fall asleep. Indicas typically have more CBD's, CBN's, etc. , the "medicinal" effects. Try some indicas...most everything (but not all) with Kush in the name, Northern Lights, Grape LA, Chem Dog, etc are examples of Indicas. Ruderallis is ditch weed, now used in Autoflowers, Hemp is the worlds best choice for paper products, clothing, etc.

Depending on the size of your plants, if using chemical nutes, feed once a week now, and gradually transition to every 4 days over the next month or so. If using organic fertilzer (and Koolbloom is not organic, I believe) you can feed nutes every 4 days. Do it this way. Day 1 nutes, day 2 nothing, day 3 water, day 4 nothing, repeat as necessary.

Good luck in your grows. Most people here will answer your questions seriously unless you ask them to guess your yields.

It's the beginning of week 3 and the smell hasn't come back :cry:. It's the grandaddy purp that's lost Smell.
The Lemon Kush is smelling good but not great. I feed every third day, is that cool? Is it just the strain ? I'm panicking
