Strongest Strain For Low Odor???

Do you run anything as smelly as sour diesel? Do you recharge your filters, emptying and cooking in oven?? How long do they last?


The smellyist strain i have done was from GrowersChoice sour something Let me go back over some pictures and see what it was still no problem at all mate.



I change my filters every year depending on place and HR on the rooms, I don't refill them I just buy new one's,

Mate gone back over to some pictures on my SD card and I do believe it was sour Diesel I VEGGED to long and come out with not very good yield but still flowered it and I can confirm there was no smell.

If there was a smell I wouldn't even bother

I would totally recommend Northern lights, had a little bit of a piney odor but not that distinct reek. The line I've run several times was from Peak and was strong in terms of potency. Not a sledgehammer but still kicked. Being so low-key has probably been a factor in its survival through the decades while many skunkier varieties went extinct.

I always recommend a real c99 if you happen to find a real one. Low smell until late flower but quick strong and the smell is more tropical smelling vs something like a skunk dunked in gasoline.

I know a few strains that have such a low smell that you don't need to use a carbon filter. Unfortunately, none of them has devastating power.

Popey, what about strains that do smell. Looking for something other than GG4, to run for something new. Heavy THC, best grams per watt, plant that likes to get scrogged. Been looking at websites, but not sure what to get. I figure a lot are just a random phenotype, and nothing to write home about.

This. I did a pheno hunt of his Sweet Skunk around 6 years ago. I remember sticking my head in the tent late in flowering and it smelled almost the same inside the tent as it did outside. Probably didn't even need a carbon filter. Many would be disappointed in a skunk line that's low odor...but it was a fairly frosty and stable seedline.
I just checked their website. Would be great to find out which cross it was - I´m guessing maybe C99 or Northern lights...?

The strains I call "low -smell strains" have been checked by me. I sown at least a dozen or so, several dozen plants and everyone had a low smell, which is why I call them "low -smell strains".

My state went legal, and town is talking about massive grows for revenue, but not for the people. So not as worried about smell, nd just something great, tastes great, and produces well.

I think that eventually the neighbourhood will complain about the lovely scent though:) and then there will be a new law about it? so it might be worth looking into low-odour strains , i mean ` just in case´?
There´s a member here, whose name , of course (typical me!!!!) I can´t remember right now and they have reported that they have some sort of `cannabis odour regulation´ . I think this is in Oregon.
But, of course I have no idea about your personal living/growing location and so on :)

Odd seeing two cindy recommendations. I'm keeping one alive I can't flower. I have 3 filters.

I always found the white strains lacking. People align them with milk, and cream flavours.

Northern stinks to.

Cannabis stinks in general.

Rhino filters are crap. Even there sales literature tells you they don't work. It's the wrong carbon pore size. It's also not packed properly, using open cell foam and bunched up netting where carbon should be. You have to gaffer the first inch each end to stop unfiltered air coming through.
The Carboair are better built, but they have switched to a lighter carbon, again with the wrong pore size. You see, we want the mircopores, and they want bigger ones to use less carbon. I tipped out the last one within a week, and filled it with my own carbon. Unfortunately that comes by the pallet, but it's worth storing if you want a good filter.

Northern Lights has always been the go to. A lot of purple strains don't have the traditional skunk smell, much less odor. Sativas generally will stink less then Indicas. I mean real sativas, not the 'sativa dominate' hybrids.

I'd recommend mountain air filters. I personally think reducing the smell has a lot more to do with tent setup and configuration than simply the carbon filter. I was running a gelato and a local strain here that both stank to high heaven, getting the airflow correct within the tent and, surprisingly, pushing the air out through the filter rather than pulling through it resolved the issue. I've also seen people extract the air from a tent into a smaller box, fitted with a small ozone generator (neutralizes all smells). If you're really attached to the glue, I'd try changing around your configuration and hopefully you can keep her.

Also c99, thew one I run stinks but it's a lovely sweet floral candy like smell rather than dank skunk, smokers would instantly recognize it but your average joe would have to think about it a bit.

Hey Brother, can you tell me where you got your fav C99? You're in NZ too right?
Cheers
