more about container gardening but to be honest I don't know have never tried it in a raised bed ?
we bought this house last november, the beds haven't been used in years. we cleaned them out, but the dirt/clay is hard and stale. any suggestions? 3 100' beds, 24'' tall, about 6' wide...

I have talked about it in so many threads I really have no idea of which one to pick lol

Simply put ya just need to eliminate things that stress em or what I like to say things they don't like. Plants don't like to be crowded, they don't like to touch each other, they don't like too much of anything, this includes light, they don't like improper spectrum's, they don't like improper pressure (think barometric/atmosphere), they don't like imbalances (this mostly applies to nutes), they don't like improper/unnatural light timings. They don't like bugs or critters eatin on em. Just like us, they are genetically programmed to to thrive, to eat, to procreate, to rest and being in an environment that allows these things to occur naturally makes them happy.

I have had growers tell me that after readin my stuff they simply opened their tent and the smells went away IMO a tent is the worst place to grow
Isn't stank kind of a genetic thing? Some plants just smell stronger than others, no?

I must be doing something wrong, because my flower room smells like skunk carcass.

Maybe you just need to blow your nose or trim the nasal hair LOL

peace
Nah, that's not the problem cause da swat team that rolled up on the crib last week couldn't smell em either LOL

Good thing they were at the wrong address though that whole North South thing 8)

not to mention all the growers that have visited over the years that couldn't smell em ?

pretty sure it's not my nose

the plants i am growing at the moment have very little smell compared to most others
they are at 5 weeks now and have lots of resin, there is this kind of peppery edge to the air with a hint of moroccan hash

i am growing them the same way as all the other plants, why do these ones not smell ?

i also find that the leaves during veg type growth can vary hugely in smell and i find this is often overlooked
sometimes the leaves smell very skunky and fuel like before any resin has developed

Huh. I'm definitely open to some learnin. I honestly haven't noticed any difference in how smelly my room is over the years. It was stinky when I was a novice, and it's stinky today...even though I have improved a good deal during that time, and my plants appear to be healthier now than the first few crops I grew.

So, at least visually my plants appear healthy and stress free...but they still stink?

Do you have any specific ideas I could try? I don't over crowd the room. Plenty of room in the 10 gal buckets I use for the roots to stretch out. Amended soil that doesn't run hot (I use a fair bit of sulfer (garden gypsum)). Temps are in the 80'ish range during lights on. No bugs. Home made worm poo. Not much in the way of topping/bending/training.

Anything stand out to you that might contribute to my smelly plants?

Nothing in what you posted ,,,, no ?

Are you in a tent ? Do your plants have access to normal barometric pressure ? Are your lights to close ?
