No smell 3 weeks into flower

likely no smell because they are happy and healthy....the smell increases with stress, so you must be dialed in correctly

no worries

Interesting info... are there any specifc references you suggest one to read upon? Not questioning your statement, but id just want to know more.

@RM3 was the first one to say plants don't have to stink.
Based on personal experience, he's correct -- sort of. To me, "stink" is noticeable and overpowers all other smells. All of my plants smell a little after the 12/12 flip, but they don't"stink".
I'm starting to believe that the level of smell can be dialed in, depending on personal preference. I've read that potassium sulfate can affect aroma, and I believe it. Soft rock phosphate also affects the smell of flowers.

I've had strains not stink until deep into flower then all the sudden ...BAM...deep heavy coffee type odor filling the place ....others I've had start stinking quite early ....IMO different strains act different smell wise ....but I wouldn't worry to much ...when it's chopped and cured correctly you should be alright

My last grow didnt smell at all unless i moved the flower, then she sent up a nice aroma. Was a real happy under stressed plant the whole grow.

I just did back to back grows of seeds and cuttings, while you could smell them, they had very little smell. The first one was stressed to the point of death lol, the second not so much stress and one of my healthier grows. Not saying health and stress have no bearing but in this case it was just a low odour strain IMO.

just my personal experience.

example...the little one of the left had been subjected to lots of stress (long story) and the big one on the right was a skunk cross....the little one was way more pungent

No shit! What's the deal with stunted plants? Yield sucks but always super dank. Maybe I'll start stunting my plants on purpose & let em stay in veg longer.

They don't really start to smell-smell until you see trichomes around week 4-6.
