Post low odor strains

[DRorganic]

my experiences with growing weed is when you live with your grow you get Immune to the smell. and folks who do not grow or live around it can smell it much more then you can. if you have doubts get away from your grow for a week then come back and see if you can smell it. my advise if your in a none friendly pot state get a carbon scrubber .be leave me it will pay for it self .i used a can33 combo and all i did was buy the disposable cans with carbon for 6 years on at $120 a year. and some times a year and a half.

Sensi Mexican Sativa....the low odour trait seems pretty dominant in a few crosses I've made with it as well....

Odor is a major reason for being busted. Please post low odor strains below and help your fellow grower.

Fruitbowl = very low odor
Haze Skunk = very low odor

According to this link: THC (TETRAHYDROCANNABINOL) ACCUMULATION IN GLANDS OF CANNABIS (CANNABACEAE)
It is postulated that the ODOR is directly related to the accumulation of THC resin.

Low Odor = Low quality ???

Cannabinoids are dimers in that they are formed by condensation of terpene and phenol precursors

Diagram 1 (Above). Cannabinoid pathway. Cannabinoids represent a dimer consisting of a terpene and a phenol component. Cannabigerol (CBG) is the first component of the pathway. It undergoes chemical change to form either cannabichromene (CBC), or cannabidiol (CBD). Delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is derived from CBD.

Cannabinoids include these more abundant forms:

THC, delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol

CBD, cannabidiol

CBC, cannabichromene

CBG, cannabigerol

Another cannabinoid, cannabinol (CBN), is formed from THC and can be detected in some plant strains. Typically, THC, CBD, CBC and CBG occur together in different ratios in the various plant strains. In fiber strains CBD/CBC are in high concentrations and THC is at a low concentration; in drug strains, THC is high and CBD/CBC are low. An important area to be studied relates to the occurrence in the plant of potential precursor for cannabinoid formation and where synthesis occurs in the cell.

Original Flo's odor is timid and subtle during flowering.

Regarding Cannabis plant odor, that same link only stated the following:
​

Terpenes compose the "essential oils"; they contribute to the odors of the plant, and are sticky in character, as evident when one touches the plant. Different combinations of terpenes in different strains contribute to odor differences among the strains. Cannabinoids, and THC, are odorless to most humans.

Thanks for the link. I googled and read a couple more articles, which also attributed Cannabis plant odors to terpenes. Perhaps the jury is still out

I was focusing on this statement
"precursor for cannabinoid formation"
If these terpins are the precursor for cannabinoid formation, doesn't it make sense that they should exist prior to the conversion as THC?
If the terpins are low, shouldn't that ring true regarding the quality upon final harvest?

 

[Green Supreme]

Pretty sure terps do not convert to thc. Peace GS

Terpenes are created in the lipoplasts of the disc cell. Phenol, formerly residing in the vacuole, is transferred to the disc cell in the form of a glucoside.

Terpenes and phenol do react to create cannabinoids in the membrane.

It's true.

 

[Green Supreme]

Hmm sorry I guess I thought terps were made up of phenols. Thanks. Peace GS

Thanks for the clarification MMM

So, does this lend credence to the notion that the stronger smelling Terpenes would lead to stronger THC content ?

Could we possibly detect this transition by SMELL ?
When the strong smell diminishes, the conversion is being processed ?

Since we are discussing ODOR created by the terpenes, I'm wondering if perhaps this guy is on to something.

SUBCOOL: The SSK goes a full 65 and gets frosty and just smells like a dead body that was eatin by a swarm of angry skunks.

Now, I once had the audacity to ask this guy a question and was promptly told by the moderator that HE is the POPE of POT and I shouldn't dare question anything he said.

My question, how does improving the taste and smell of plants grown assist the medicinal marijuana patient.
I was not allowed to continue the conversation, which would have brought out the point I made above. I was promptly banned from the site for my transgression.

 

[mean mr.mustard]

It's interesting to consider OM.

I would think that most of the terpenes' smell that is residual in the finished product would determine the ones that were not used in the synthesis...

As for the stronger smelling terpenes leading to stronger THC I would think not, but the idea that a strong smell means many terpenes would support the theory that more stank = more dank.

 

[Telegraphist.]

I would like to know the answers to that too

Page 90 of Marijuana chemistry by M. Starks says:- "Finally, we note once again that there is no evidence that terpenoids have any role in psychic effects of marijuana".

I also have read similar things in other books relating to cannabis essential oils.

I personally think they may play a very small part, possibly more mental than factual, I do like to just inhale a freshly rolled joint that this not lit, just to enjoy the aroma and flavors that are lost when combustion takes place

I would like to see details of Sam Skunkmans experiments with cannabinoids and terpenoids

Cannabinoids are terpenes joined to a phenol, so a link must be there somewhere to medical use and ratios

Deffo Northern Lights & i found Chronic didnt smell too strong either.

 

[igrowone]

northern lights #5 from highgrade-seeds
definitely a contender for real low odor winner
a bit of odor at the end of veg, then decreases during flower, which is a bit odd
and it just doesn't smell like weed, has the pine tree odor baked in

 

[Fuzz420]

Ill second MOD's Kali Most, really low odor, also MOD's MOD bx(mist of destruction) is low odor.It has a smell is just not very strong, you have to squeeze them to really smell them

your the 2nd one to mention the Kali Most
i had been looking that over for a while, was this much like the Kali Mist parent with a very dreamy nice effect?

Nebula has been pretty low odor for me and is more potent than Grapefruit, although in a different way.

Reclining Buddah and Nebula

The good pheno of nebula(the producer) is very low smell. It does have a smelly pheno but it sucks. Potofgold (goldenskush) had a good low odor pheno.

Nebula is very similar to GHS Alaskan Ice, White widow x Original Haze, but probably different plants and whatnot. I had 2 phenos, one smelled very strongly throughout all of flower, took forever, hermied, and then didnt taste all that great. The other, which I think is the desired 9 week frosty pheno, had almost no smell, but then right after chop, started to smell like watermelon, and even uncured, tasted amhazeingly delicious and would fill the room with a pungent fruity febreeze scent.

odor has nothing to do with potency, I've had some nearly odorless potent stuff and some really aromatic bunk, the same is true about trichome coverage.

The good pheno had almost no smell, but it had trichomes developing throughout almost all of the 9 weeks flower, and amazing taste and soaring high. I think the trich development has to do with low humidity and cold temps at night part of light cycle, but they don't really signify potency, its just a way for the plant to control its temp and retain moisture. The scent came out more after curing for sure too, smells just like she tastes. Another kind which I believe is Mango x WW, had almost no smell either, and only after 2 weeks cure finally getting a nice flavor and smell, but knockout potent the whole way. I've also seen pot that reeks up the room when the jar is opened but then has a weak high. It makes me wonder if there are people out there selecting their stock based on smell alone, I think both should be accounted for, well that and many other things.

Sorry i have no experience with kali mist, i went with the Kali most as it seem like a very nice cost effective alternative. I feel like i do have accurate representation as every thing ive read about kali mist seems the same for kali most. Im about a month from harvesting my sativa pheno, and a week or so from harvesting the indica pheno.
