Losing my mind, looking for some support

can't believe I read this whole thread.

@Shaggy78 sorry if I missed it but what brand/type/wattage etc leds and how big is your space / watts per sf are you running them at?

I'm not going to lie that's pretty good. So where do you get your weed. Seeds I should say I'd imagined everybody on here grows so if everybody's weed smells where do I need to get it. Has anyone ever use canuk seeds or Barney's Farm or seedsman or anything like that

I've run all of them and never had any lack of smell. One of my Barney's LSD plants had the most lemony terps I've ever smelled. I still wish I mothered it up.

Me too.. any idea why? Bad genetics is there something maybe I did wrong I have my second round going and I'm wondering if it's worth it to even keep going. I have my next round and I'm thinking about walking away

Same as my grows .........
I've been growing Red Diesel, Critical Orange Punch, Lemon Kush, Amnesia (auto), White Widow (auto).
White widow was a real stinker, all the others practically odorless.
All fairly strong THC (15%+) except Lemon Kush was probably the weakest at around 10%.
I think it's just the way the modern strains are being developed.
Or maybe it's because I'm growing in the tropics and the temperatures are around 30c (night) and 35c (day)
Which doesn't explain why the WW did stink.

The cured bud smells fine.

It's in Post #24, but all OP says is that it's HLG brand LEDs. No word on wattage or room size or...

Temperature & Humidity of your growing & curing space is going to play a huge role in end aroma, also how you harvest. I would suggest keeping your daytime temps below 80 F and if your wet trimming stop it, look into how to properly dry trim if flavor & smell is what you're shooting for.

My buddy has an old school dad that wont dry trim, his bud smells like plain nothing and is scalped from being wet trimmed and then speed dried in a maybe 45-50% humidity room..

Personally my plants get chopped, de-fanned and then hung with all sugar leaves etc upside down in a pitch black empty grow tent with carbon scrubbers for air exchange in the tent. I keep the curing room between 60-70 °F and 55-60% Relative Humidity for the optimal cure. It should take at least 7 days of hanging before the plants are ready to be dry trimmed. (leaves should flick off but buds should be a bit moist)

You have not said anything about effects. Maybe you could call it stealth weed! Hope some good can come of this.

That’s how I would be marketing it!

Multiple strains = low chance of all strains being unsmelly
Multiple people can't smell it = probably not just OP w/ a busted nose
Probably something unique you, OP, are doing, or something different in your environment, that's causing this..
Maybe try doing the most conservative, historically proven, safest methods for everything- nutrients (especially since you are doing some fancy things), temps a little lower or something, lights a little further if close, etc?

I actually don’t notice the smell anymore either really if I think about it. I’m always walking around smelling like dank and don’t notice until someone mentions it. Lol

Yup, that's my wifes job. Go back and change clothes, we are not skunking our way to town . Occupational hazard ...

Could you have just banked on your strain choices stinking and they all turned out to have no funk? Recently, out of 15+ strains, ~8 had little-to-no funk regardless of nectars/additives. The others exceeded my expectations, they're keepers. Trying out another 2 + a few genetics upgrades, getting final to 8.

I look at strain selection like I'm hiring someone. Eight strains is cool, but I'm not going to do things 8 different ways to satisfy each strain's particular needs. I'm going to do things one way and see which strains want to work with me. I'll consider as many resumes as necessary to fill all vacancies. Zero tolerance for a plant showing up to work not stinking.

Get that shit they use in the hood that makes doodoo schwag smell like original Blueberry mixed with original skunk.

The term commercial grower, in today's climate, refers to a licensed grower with a legitimate operation. I know several - they have huge, high dollar operations.

Give it. Rest. The guy is asking a question. You have a answer? No, STFU!

I like this.

I mean it smells a little bit. If you stick your face in the jar you get a really good with. But I shouldn't have to stick my face into a jar with a quarter pound of weed to get it to smell. My plants don't smell at all while they're growing I don't understand

I grew a sherbet auto out that had/has very little smell. Waste of time really.

it’s all to do with genetics at the end of the day.

I agree with you, but I live in a country where growing is 10 years in jail, so I'm happy that my plants don't stink.
All I care about is the THC content.

A bag of Dicks?! That's new to me ,, Funnie,..

Truly not trying to be funny here- have you been tested for Covid-19?
of the people I know who had it, loss of smell and taste was one of the most notable (because it’s not common with other viruses) symptoms.
Very odd to not have smells from a diverse selection!
Hoping the best for ya’!
