Bud doesn't smell???

I have one female which is 34 days into flower. Bud production seems fine, white hairrs are beginning to turn reddish-brown. The buds are SUPER SUPER sticky and smell very potent when sniffed from close. However, I can leave my closet open and my grow area open and the smell does not seem to protrude anywhere in my apartment (which is great --- right?). But i am wondering if there is something wrong with my plant or if it could be a genetic thing (dont know the exact strain) and if it is something to worry about.

Grow conditions:
lights - 324 Watt T5 HO ( 6 48'' 54W tubes) + 100 Watt CFL (2 48'' 50W T8 tubes)
nutes - no additives except tap water
temp - unknown
pH - unknown
humidity - unknown

If your humidity is on the lower side like mine (I'm working with ~25% rH), then the smell will be less intense. Also, do you know what strain you have? I know that some strains emit fairly low odors and are great for apartment growers, while others are stinky no matter what you do.

Your plants look great, very healthy and much greener than most plants this far into flowering. You did decrease the amount of Nitrogen you're feeding her now that she's flowering, right?

Hey, humidity in my grow is DEF low as it isnt sealed and such. And the only nutrients plant got was from the potting soil and havent added any new soil for atleast 8 weeks.

Well it looks great for working with no nutes, especially.
I think it's just the low humidity. Odors get trapped in the water molecules hanging out in the air, fewer water molecules= less odor.

the soil I use is:
- Schultz potting soil 0.08-0.12-0.08

And my friend couldnt smell it. he Knows that im growing it but he walked in and was like, your place doesnt smell, lol. so.

Well for the growing, I used to have a huge saltwater aquarium which had a lot of money and when i started it, I was super worried about everything and i tested for everything, and eventually, i learned that things are usually WAY EASIER than people make things out to be. So with the plants, i figured its gotta be easier than people make it out to be and that I should just do and not worry. At times i worried and what not, but i learned that the simpler i grow, the simpler the problems would be, if any.
