Grow room smells like me sweaty work socks

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 just defoliated loads too do you think I need to take more off

Let's see a picture.

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.View attachment 2418488

If the smell is earthy that's normal. If it's moldy beware. And since it turns to lemon why worry. It's like your plants are sweating at night and it's body odor. I think the correct term is transpiration.

My tent smelled like that a bit when I left water runoff in the tray. I didn't even notice until the smell.

It's like your plants are sweating at night and it's body odor. I think the correct term is transpiration.

Transpiration (the release of water vapor to the atmosphere) occurs day and night, but at a lower rate at night than during the day. It is a transport mechanism for nutrients from the roots to the leaves. It includes the uptake of carbon dioxide and the release of oxygen. Plants also respire, which does the reverse. Transpiration involves water loss, while respiration involves energy production.

Do your pots sit directly on the floor surface to where water would be able to get trapped between the pots and the floor? This can cause a mold (mould) and bacteria buildup that results in the same type of smell.

The first thing I noticed is the p trap on the duct work. If this is moving humid air the condensate will stop at a low point. Now one mold spore and......
I assume with that humidity load from the plants that you be moving some air
It could also be a lost sock..... .
