HUH? if you're talking STINKY, you're talking INDICA!
i pretty much ONLY grow sativa dominants and the only plants i've had odor problems with were indica mid hashberry & white castle with a little bit of skunky catpiss funk out of the little LSD i grew that never got too strong. the haze skunk i grew smoked like a sativa and had very little odor and the pure highland thai full moon i grew was virtually odor free.
what sativa did you grow that stunk? i hate stinky strains because i always associate them with afghani dominants.
a lot of flat out STONY strains take a long time to grow. i don't have any personal experience with AK47 yet, but have read that it gets stinky & stoney BUT it also gets tall and takes it's time too.
it just doesn't sound like you were growing a sativa. i couldn't name a stinky sativa to win a $100 bet without researching. MOST sativas are low odor. they might get a little stinky outdoors with cold nights though.
