Grow room smells like me sweaty work socks

[Chrism]

Hi everyone, I'm in day 24 of flower I'm growing blue gelato and dynamite diesel over the last 2 days I've noticed a musty smell inside the tent when open it. Everything seems be going well just getting worried now by the smell reminds me of me sweaty work socks after a day on the building site. Does anyone know what this can be? I've cleaned the tent and gone in tonight and still the same smell.

What are you growing in? What nutrients? Are you missing a pair of dirty socks?

To my nose, most strains smell like sweaty socks early in flower.

Canna a and b and canna boost and no not what I'm aware of hahha

Another thing I wanna ask people is the stalks seem really flimsy and have started to bend do they toughen up later on into it or is there something I can give them

Can you recommend one in particular mate I've just stuck with canna range and they don't seem to do a silica

@Chrism - What is the humidity?

I was hoping it was just that but does proper stink when first open it once in there smells lemony but when first open it stinks like sweaty feet I asked me Mrs to go open it and see what she thinks and first thing she said was it's musky and stinks

I use Silica Boost from Bloom City.

Certainly! This is what I use in hydro and it works in soil, too:

I use Silica Boost from Bloom City.

It's a potassium silicate solution.

Maybe you can get down and get up close with each pot and smell. Perhaps you have mildew or mold or both?

Normally around 42% but can go upto around 54 after a feed

Twin Bulb Bug Zapper creates just a little Ozone

Then mold is unlikely, except the foliage is dense, so there could be some mold due to low air flow. That'd still be unlikely at 42% RH, though.

I've got 3 fans in there so I'm hoping air flow is ok

Air exchange? Flow is a curious term.

Would 'circulation' be a better term?

Yeah, I just got excited. Time for a bowl and chill.
