Okay, so this question does sound stupid but if you read more into plant sciences you see there are a vast many reasons why and how plants in general flower. My question being cannabis being a DAY flowering plant, seeing as cannabis is dioecious(in most cases)and uses both pollinators as well as the wind to reproduce, couldn't cannabis be then sperated in its own species? Not like cannabis sativa or indica but like L. Sativa Nocum or some crazy latin or Greek name? Species that have been bred for floral scent strength and would then use signals to attract flying bugs but when? Day or night? Same would go with species bred maybe outdoors as well to have low odors and would them use wind to reproduce and would have the higher terps and less flaviniods but higher CBD:Thc ratios also to then compensate best for reproduction. So then no floral scent would be neccessary as those functions by evolution would then carry on to plant heartyness and bug/environment/disease resistance...not a day or night flowering plant but still photosensitive unlike Rhuderalis.
It gets complicated but essentially I'm trying to figure out why some strains have smells and some don't during flowering transitions. I.e. my current grow. Have at least 3 different strains(from bags) out of 5 plants and none have ever had any type of scent. Other grows with "low-scent" varieties have have not been so smell-free like my last with Northern lights x blueberry...that smelled so good but my filter had a hard time scrubbing odors halfway through veg well into drying process! Also, as crazy as it sounds, most of the time even ditch weed had that iconic Cannabis odor and my current grow has a newer tent/humid swamp smell.
Rh is 45% 74°F days 67 nights
Foxfarm OF/HF perlite 40/40/10
Organics like alfalfa, bone, blood, feather meal, fish, etc used during veg and now 3 weeks into flower use blackstrap & Alaska Morbloom 0-10-10. Ph stays around 6.2-6.3. Tap has 0ppm chloride and <100ppm sodium and must water everday.
Everything is legit but I'm telling you as i sit in my tent, there's zero scent! Lol rhymes.
With well over a month left, what can I use to pack on the pounds and the flavinoids & terpenoids (i like this terminology better) since my plants take on more than recommended doses like Sammy Sosa did back in the 00's!? At this point I don't care if synthetic either, i just cannot have ferts that are known to react in FF's soils..ive got great biology in my soil though and would prefer not to kill it.
Ideas?
