Where to Get “Low Odor” Cannabis Strains for Stealthy Growing

by Nebula Haze

Does growing cannabis smell? Yes, nearly all cannabis plants smell by the time buds are growing. The cannabis buds we know and love are fragrant flowers. But some cannabis strains stink a lot more than others. If you’re growing weed for yourself and don’t want to blast skunky weed smell everywhere, you might prefer to grow cannabis strains known for a mild or weak smell. You’re not alone, so I put together this list of low-odor cannabis strains that you can grow at home and produce great weed with a mild smell.

Royal Jack Auto produces buds with creative effects and a relatively low, non-skunky smell.

All cannabis plants stink by the time buds are ready to harvest, but some strains are worse than others. If you don’t want your grow to smell like weed, you need to get strains that produce low amounts of Myrcene terpenes (what gives the distinctive “skunky” smell most associated with weed).

Here’s a handy list of “Low Odor” marijuana strains – These cannabis strains are known for producing a relatively low amount of smell, or for having a non-marijuana-like odor like berries or pine.

1.) Frisian Duck

Frisian Duck is the quintessential stealthy, low odor strain. It was bred by Dutch Passion, who has continued to maintain and improve the strain. Frisian Duck gives you purple buds, duckfoot-shaped leaves, and a mild smell of spicy pine

Frisian Duck was specifically designed to be a “stealth strain”. Purple buds with a mild, spicy pine scent.

2.) Blue Mystic

On average, G14 plants are ready to harvest just 63 days after sprouting. They tend to stay small and produce a surprising amount of weed that doesn’t smell much until right at the end close to harvest.
