I can never get a strong smell. I'm drying around 62 degs 67 RH in a bathroom with fan pointing away. was curing in jars now using c-vaults. It doesn't smell bad, you just have to put your nose touching the budd to smell.
I was hoping to get some suggestions.

I have been struggling for the last 2-3 weeks cause of my plants ( bruce banner 2.0 ), and also my 3rd grow of the same seeds, suddenly stopped smelling to anything other than "Sweet".

Have been checking PH for 2 weeks, did a flush 2 weeks ago, added extra PK according to the recipe ( canna ), and still, they have no smell BUT...

They DO SMELL outdoors on the exhaust (bummers) sometimes, I need to seal the Carbon Filter to the fan with tape, but that aside. At certain times of their night ( my daytime ), they usually stink for about 1 hour and then they stop. And during their day ( my night ), they almost don't smell, I spend my nights checking constantly for the smell inside the tent, I clear my senses with coffee, I ask my GF to go check for me and I worry about having COVID lol.

If I come inside when I perceive the scents outdoors, they don't smell even inside the tent. If I turn off the AC and extractor, they don't smell for most of their day, except at random times but very mild.

I am up to the point where I am waiting until around 1am today to see if that matches the high tide, cause today there where stinking at around 12:00 am, and then stopped, and only outside.. ( drives me crazy )

I was also thinking and researching to see if the terpens may perhaps react when they perceive a sudden change in tempo or RH, cause inside they are usually at 23C, but outside it gets up to 35Cat noon, and also RH levels are way different.

I think your just used to the smell, especially being your 3rd grow of said seeds. Go take a walk somewhere for a bit, come back and gently grab a bud and smell your fingers. Smell good?

I get hit with a bombardment of funk when I first open my tents, but after that I don't really smell anything unless I touch the plants. Pluck some leaves and then smell your fingers.

Letting your buds fully ripen is the best way to ensure both density and stank. Then "low and slow" dry, and get them in jars before they dry out too much.
