Plants don't smell or get sticky!

[Muddy]

That all sounds good. I'm not a breeder and have limited knowledge of terpen production. I'm sure one of the many experienced breeders here will see this and might have some ideas for you.

Thanks muddy I need to find out whats causing it or there's no point in keep growing it but I love it and would love to get my own stash that I know is quality! Let's see If anyone else has any ideas. Even when I search google for the same problem there's hardly any results like what ime getting?

Well muddy is a pro compared to me, but i will say this i have seen one of my friends exprience this. Judging by your pic your buds are still bright green in my opinion you picked too early like two weeks too early. Your looking for the buds to start glowing golden, yes golden you can tell by taking a picture and comparing from week to week day to day. That bud in the pic could of easily tripled in size in two weeks those fan leaves are still dark green. You dont have to listen or like my advice but try to let them go until all your fan leaves die or buy a handheld microscope from bestbuy or radioshack for 20$ then you can know for sure.

I reported your problem in the mod forum so someone should be along with some better information. I agree, you may have picked them a little to early, but that wouldn't explain the lack of odor as that usually starts with flowering and gets stronger as the plants mature.

you can get the pocket microscope on amazon for 5-10 bucks

Yea ime guna pick up 1 of those microscopes. That pic woz about 2-3 weeks before harvest and i let my akr go till all the leafs were yellow and it woz about 11 weeks and still no potency out of it and there supposed to be 22 percent thc but you could put 2 grams in a joint and smoke the whole thing and barely feel a anything! Ive been doing so many things different changeing temps soils nutes and no improvement. That's what lead me to belive it could be the smoke and other nastys geting sucked in from my room cuz sometimes there 3 or 4 ppl with a joint on the go so it gets quite smokey in there lol. Input a clean air duct into the room last nite so hopefully it may help if not ime screwed! Thanks for the ideas everyone keep them coming I really would like to get to the bottom of this.

Thats so true muddy well what comes to mind when I ponder it more is how all the older growers tell me its not just about the genetics or nutes its about the love you give them and the environment they grow up in. I know that its a fact dont remember where i picked up the fact, somewhere on here that, Enviorment does impact which pheno expression the plant will take. Maybe something in your environment is making the plants unhappy and the terpene production is non existent. What that something is i dont know.

I have a question since you chill by your plants with your friends. Are you guys finger fucking the plants? If so you guys might be rubbing off all the trichs and terpens I know that for a fact before when i rubbed my seedlings autos that where i rubbed the leaves the trich production was non existent where i rubbed. I messed them up by touching them. Autos can be stressed by such small things my first grow AKR had crystal coverage like your but no smell no high like you said but i thought it was because i seeded a fem and stressed it by letting it get rootbound. They are getting stressed someway somehow.

I know wot you mean but if anyone goes near them I go mad so no lol there my pride and joy. I usually give 1 bud a little touch only on the bud leaf tho not the whole bud just to see if there's any smell comeing. Ime not a molester if that's what your getting at lol. I always try to stress them as little as possible they all get put straight into there final pot so no transplant shock and I just water them always check ph and run off.

as a last resort..not trying to spend your money on a whim...
but...try 1 of those uv20 reptile light bulbs..the added uv light
should increase terp and resin production..
I can't quote where i read it but it stuck in my mind...
I think thats why uv is added to led lights.
