Hello all,
I put the horse before the cart and posted in the bud stage forum with my woes.
ANYhoo, I'm an old timer, born in 1957 - back in the "home grown nickel bag" days. Had some unpleasant weed-related legal stuff back in the 70's - so cut WAY back.
These days, I'm the very occasional smoker. Our current home is basically on ledge, so all my plants (flowers, veg, herb) are grown in pots on our deck. ANYhoo, I thought for sure that personal use & growing was going to be legalized in Vermont this year - so I decided to try my hand at weed. (When it wasn't, my one "Precious" was looking far too robust to destroy - so taking my chances.)
So...my problem: My plant reeks unpleasantly of ammonia on touch. I have no idea what this strain is, so possibly it's a "Cat Piss" variant - per my Google research - no idea. When she began to bud, I began using FoxFarm Tiger Bloom, but knowing frost is coming - started flushing it with plain water a couple of weeks ago.
It's really a nasty smell - not the pot of my dreams. Looking for ideas, solutions, whatever.
Any good resources for a new grower / harvester appreciated as well. I've googled my ass off and seem to have found a lot of good info. The nasty ammonia smell though - I'm not finding - other than as a mold issue with curing weed.
As I said on my earlier post - apologies for questions that probably have been answered elsewhere. I did try to search the forums, but didn't really find an answer.
Thank you!
