It looks like you are using those cheap plastic trays under your pots, the ones that fit pretty snug on the bottom? I got mine at Lowe's, and they look identical, I had to stop using them, because I was having the same issue with the runoff getting stagnant. I assume this is due to how snug the fit; the airflow doesn't seem to penetrate underneath as well. I ended up not using them at all, but I don't have a tent, I have good airflow and plastic flooring and all of my runoff evaporates fairly quickly.My dehu is on all day fighting the humidity I got it hosed out to a tray outside tent I vacuum up everyday. Each plant has its own over flow tray which I think run off has got under them and became stagnant. I just removed my trellis and I’m about to clean the whole tent. Will the plants be ok out of light for a hour out should I do it right before I put lights out? I really appreciate this help.

The smell is definitely coming from bud site on one plant the one that had least amount of air flow but I looked at it under the 60x and only see trichomes no PM. Do u think I should kill it or just hop for the best?It looks like you are using those cheap plastic trays under your pots, the ones that fit pretty snug on the bottom?

Honestly, I can't give you any advice on that front without standing in your room. Check the buds for botrytis(sp?) or aka bud rot. It will be inside of bigger buds, if you find it, cut the affected parts out, clean your tent, and increase your airflow if needed, but I cant tell you whether to kill your plant or not, that decision is ultimately yours and yours alone. You put in the effort and the time and money, its gotta be your call.The smell is definitely coming from bud site on one plant the one that had least amount of air flow but I looked at it under the 60x and only see trichomes no PM.

if they are in there light stage ,the room lights will be good enough to get it cleaned,ditch those trays,get some you can use a shop vac to vacum out your runoff,dont ever leave runofff in your trays never,after you feed withing 30 min it will suck it right back up,if you choice to do that,i dont,runoff is salts coming from your medium and i dont want it back in there,so it all up to you now,just my opinion,i will say this leaving them in runoff sooner than later gonna give you salt build up,and soil ,soiless,coco whatever you use it will come,plants look great buy the way,floor looks like shit,bigger and better trays are in order,some things you can go cheap some you cant this is one of themMy dehu is on all day fighting the humidity I got it hosed out to a tray outside tent I vacuum up everyday.

They don’t come off. the tip of leaf will break when pulled. I pulled quite a few off and they all just broke in halfGive a gentle tug on all the small bud leaves on the stinky bud. If any of them pull out easily you could have a problem.
Some strains just have bad breath too.
