Is musty always a bad smell

[Gingerbeard]

Pretty much every plant I've flowered has had a musty, almost moldy smell. There's no bud rot. At first I thought it was the soil. But once harvest was over the smell went away. It's not constant

[Mr.furley]

If you are cloning the same plant over and over it will continue to have a same smell for grow to grow. Some plants stank!

[Gingerbeard]

Bag seed for me, Mr. F. Up close they smell musty. When they catch the breeze my apartment smells just exactly like weed.
