Humboldt Gorilla Breath... smells weird as fuck? Not like weed?

I just trimmed and jarred up my Humboldt Gorilla Breath.

I have never smelled weed like this before, and as I've said I live in a very isolated place so "exotic" weed is probably non existent here.

It doesn't even really smell like weed, my girlfriend says it smells like fennel crossed with spring onions, and I think it smells like some kind of weird pungent off plastic/diesel/garlic/spring onion smell. I can't really tell if it's a pleasant smell or not. It smelled like this through flower but now that it's dried and jarred up it just... does not smell like weed really at all. It's frosty as fuck and my gloves were caked in black tar at the end of trimming it all up, but yeah... how common is it for these new whacky strains to smell nothing like weed?

Googling around, I notice there are a few distinctly different phenotypes, but mine was the one that looks more like this one at the link below, with golfball sized heads and not much else below them.

I just get diesel skunky smells with my gorilla breath. When it burns smells very diesel like. Wish I grabbed a clone. Very potent frost factory

Yeah cool, so its normal for these kinds of strains to smell weird. Like it legit isn't even a weed smell, just weird pungent garlic/cheese kind of smell. Only just gone into jars see how it comes up in a cpl of weeks.

Im new to these kinds of strains all the weed around here is very generic. I'm excited for my solfire plants to start flowering.

Garlic is not a typical terpene, but it is a terpenes profile.

There are strains with the name garlic in them. Black Garlic from JOTI is one i know of

I'd consider those terps you described as very loud and usually top shelf exotic smells. I have a garlic breath that's has a burnt rubber/garlic onion that smells almost offensive when trimming and first jarred. You might not like it but for me this type of flower is very sought after especially over the fruity sweet smells.
