Is it normal to smell damp ?

So my plants currently look like this, looks great but the bud areas smell like musty or damp is this normal ?

Really could use a pic with the hps off.

Yeah, some lights off pis would be great..

What's the temp/humidity like in the grow area?..got plenty of air circulation?

I know we've had grows from members here in the past that have kept in the 'green' zone for the flower period humidity wise, but didn't have enough air circulation and the buds had mould unfortunately so it's very important.

Sure temps are about 23 during lights on then 15 lights off here’s a pic with lights off

Looking great, if you can raise those temps a little, for both periods that would be awesome..

Do you know what the humidity is like?

[danielsmith120789]

Yeah rh is between 42-54
I’ve just put the heater on intermittently as it’s been a bit colder last few nights, worrying that it’s rot so I’ve upped the extraction to pull more air out, which is making it cooler also

Yeah just make sure you have plenty of air circulating, if you find the humidity creeping up, raising temps will decrease relative humidity lvls too

Make sure theirs no old stale water sitting in trays etc..get rid asap if you're not already.

Cheers guys, yeah doing everything I should be doing I just don’t understand why it’s only the bud that smells that way, it’s smells like a damp towel or something.

Try what you can to get the rh down as low as you can get the closer you get to harvest around 30% mate, I know the saying is don't go higher than 60% or risk getting the bud rot but we had a member the other day getting the blight at 50% and its soul destroying pissing away months of TLC
And its the buds that smell like a mop as they are holding the moisture so like ice says air flow as you don't want it festering

I’m on hps lights and had a few temp issues on my first grow, now I have my lights on of a night and it’s much better. You just have to make sure you have no light leaks during the day
