If plants are 100% happy, they don't smell much.
Problems:
1) Getting them dialed in.
2) Keeping them dialed in.
Outdoors, you can't control temp, humidity, lumens, spectrum, bugs, etc.

I was talking about pot. Basically you're screwed outside, but if you keep them as happy as you can, the smell will be diminished.

I didn't say I think I know everthing...and I wasn't much of a dick about it either.....but my thriveing plants stink. ...somedays more than others..depending on weather and humidity I believe...and I grow outdoors like the op asked about...so when you cut your plant and dry it then it stinks like crazy right?... but not during the grow. ..come on

That is exactly what I'm saying. They stink like crazy when you cut them because they aren't happy about being decapitated.
I don't blame them...

Like grass..grass gives off that smell as a warning I believe ...and I think it makes super high frequency noise...but I don't think a flowering plant isn't supposed to smell outdoors

Or indoors. . Main reason for filtration systems....so I guess u don't need one if you grow good weed ..right?

Temps in my tent have varied like crazy this last round. When my wife complains about the garage smelling like weed, I know that something needs adjustment. If my plants are digging the nutes, lumens, schedule, and humidity, the smell can easily be controlled with an open jar of Ona.
And I just started week eight...

So you have concluded that the plant you mentioned would not have been as good if it had been happier (less stinky) before it was harvested?

From what i've always seen, the healthier the plants, the stronger odor they produce. Now granite, in an indoor grow keeping temps down should theoretically keep smell down since it's not releasing as many terpenes in the air from heat.. But all in all the healthiest grows i've ever seen were the stinkiest.

To the OP: They make a smelly powder that you put in these sleaves then hang them up around plants. A lot of business's use them for mal-odors. They won't cover it up 100%, but pretty damn close. I had 6 two pound plants outdoors a couple years back and you couldn't smell a thing almost the whole grow. I can't remember what it's called though :/

Best of luck this year!

Right now I'm in the final stages of flower & have stopped all nutes. As expected, my girls are suffering from chronic nitrogen deficiency -- and they're getting stinky, big time!
However, they didn't smell at all during veg & only a little during flower (until now).
