Making buds stinky?

I have met some people who grew good strains and the bud had almost no smell to it. Almost smelled like tea or something. One of these growers was using a bubble system. I haven't ever seen buds with so many hairs though. Maybe he over flowered on top of curing wrong and lack of nutrients.

I grew a Jack Herer that had almost zero smell at all. It was the only weed my wife would ever let me smoke inside.

You could literally cloud out a room, but walk in and smell nothing. Still had awesome flavor, but it just didn't smell.

It was the most unusual thing ever.

I have had good buds that messed up drying. I was anxious to try my product and dried them quickly and they lost some smell. I think getting humidity low and drying quickly will ruin your smell.... among other things.

Maybe magnesium deficiency?

I have heard that heat damages trichomes. Maybe that's the reason? the guy I knew was growing in his basement though.
Jack Herer is a pretty heavy Sativa-dominant strain.

I've seen it grow in Texas in 120F temps and still finish with a nice kick to it. The pheno of that one particular plant either -

a) just didn't produce any terps to add to the aroma
or
b) was a gift from god that allowed me to smoke indoors during the winter for one year

I am pretty good with my nutes :)

And it was outdoors in Tennessee. Pretty good soil. Nothing else I have ever grown there had that happen.

I'm stumped on the tea smelling buds.
