I have ran into some buds that have no smell. I think they smell like tea or absolutley no smell. Any ideas what causes this??
Why do some buds have no smell? (Tea smell)

if the plant was matured when cut ..most likely it was not cured correctly...burped daily or even twice a day..it will get a tea or hay smell....when i cure I open my jars or buckets for an hour or so twice a day..the chloraphyl gases off per say as it ages and cures...if not allowed to escape it sorta taints the bud inside...when purged daily the terps begin to enhance the smell and taste...

Last time i ran into this it was my neighbor and he grew it in his back yard(without nutes) He then just let it dry in his closet.

I guess the chlorophyll makes sense. Not burping while you still have some moisture in the buds.

If it doesn't smell like sense, then it will not treat you like sense. Take a bud and put it under a 20-30x microscope and look at the trichs. That will tell the story for you as far as being finished or not. Pictures would help us a lot! We are all guessing and it could be any one of the ideas here. Did you grow it? Peace

This was a long time ago. Maybe 2007.

...Did you use molasses during your grow ? I ask because that happened to me when I fell for that crap that plants needed it. I never used it again

Very possible. I used it for a couple grows. I use veganic special sauce now which one of the ingredients is molasses but its a small amount.

I'll throw my .02 in. I've had grows smelling good,and the wham!!quit smelling altogether.
It got worse from there I finally figured I had my light too close the smell that was so good
was the heat from the light burning the plant I believe. I check now it's 24" from plant to light. I used to hold my hand up there,but I was getting the light too close it kept the plants
from getting tall enough to make a good yield.
I used to have frosty plants I gotta pay attention.
Thanks!!
