Cannabis Odors: Causes, Influences, and Solutions

Efforts to identify the main cause of cannabis’s “skunky” odor and methods to mediate them from cannabis cultivation are rapidly evolving. A few years ago, the terpene Myrcene was thought to be the main culprit; however, we now know that, although part of the odor profile, terpenes are not the cause of the characteristic smell downwind of cannabis operations.
SCS will detail research into the compounds that result in the objectionable odors emitted by cannabis operations and detail solutions.
