My plants smell of cat piss

  1. Title says it all. I was just wondering if anyone else has grown ak-47 and had a strong cat piss smell. I have read that ammonium nitrate (found in most fertilizers) cause this, but i'm wondering if it's just the strain.
     
  2. note, i'm not really worried about it, more curious
     
  3. ammonium will come from mold. is your humidity high? lots of air movement? we need more details/pics
     
  4. lots of air movement, humidity in the 45-50% range. heat high of 77 and low of 63. More pics and info about set up in my journal. also, no visible mold in soil or on buds IMG_20170101_134014.jpg

  5. 5 gallon buckets with holes drilled for drainage. 30% or better perlite. 400 cfm fan for tent exhaust, 1 16" oscilating fan and 2 6" clip on fans
     
  6. AK-47 is usually pretty pungent with a skunky aroma. Yours sounds normal

  9. Catpiss is a normal weed smell. Some of my phenos smell like rotten fruit.

    There is actually a strain called Catpiss.
