I've had two grows with beginners success. It's smokeable and gets me stoned. I haven't bought any for 6 months or more.

Down the local tonight and some young dude obviously had a bag of really pungent weed!  Stunk the place out at 30 foot! It smelled gorgeous 😊

My weed never smells as good! I dry it following guides, do all the stuff you're supposed to, but it never has that tell tale reek that stinks the house out with a tenner spot bag

Where am I going wrong? Is it just strains?

@teleman Thats something iv noticed about all my weed too, none of the stuff iv grown smells like what weed used to smell like. it all has its own unique smell but none of my jars really smell like what I remember weed smelling like.

It's likely not a bad thing but I thought it was a bit strange, I wondered if it would be strain related or because of the bottled nutes or something, iv been using biobizz from the start, I dont know if the dealers bother with any of that.

But iv also gone from having a 1/4 of weed every 2 or 3 months to smoking every single day 😆 so I wasn't sure if that would play a part too seeing as im around weed the whole time now and you get used to the smell so it doesn't seem so strong 🤔

@teleman don’t be fooled smell.

I think I know what your talking about We used to get it here absolutely stinks loads more than bud can’t hide the smell it reaks.

nasty thou high nothing like decent bud. Never did figure what it was contaminated with but now that smell I can tell a mile away & run as far away from it as possible

@teleman 

Don’t forget also you get acclimated by your grows smell getting used to it a stranger walking in might say it stinks 😆

when your used to it & can’t really smell it. 

like having a joint in the living room before going out don’t smell that much but when you get back home you notice it loads more

Cheers guys, it's definitely not 'acclimatised' sense of smell.

Interesting comment on drying temps. It was late summer so the indoor temp was around 20 C mostly. I did have RH controlled though

So who knows which strains have that traditional skunk stink?

Barneys farm Dr Grinspoon smells like lemon Jif and looks like dink but is an amazing 100% sativa. Stardogg stinks through the bag, but id not pay for it.

What is ideal? Is it true you can do a good job in a fridge? Would be 5 to 8 C wouldn't it?

@teleman perfect would be about 10c  about 50% humidity so if you can get it close to that would be ideal I used to think it won't make much of a difference but I went away one winter while my weed was drying the heating didn't go on so the house was freezing and I came back to the most pungent nose burning weed I'd ever grown I'd try and avoid the fridge as believe humidity would build up I've never tried it but that's just my thinking

@mr_bud inside a fridge is definitely low RH by design.

Cheapo fridge for drying? 🤔
