I have always enjoyed the potency of this when I have tried it, both here and in amsterdam, and am looking at getting a pack of these.
One thing that had me slightly worried was the way all reviews/websites go out of their way to emphasise the strong odour. Some even advocate "additional" odour control techniques (whatever they may be - ozone?). I just have a normal fan/filter combo - would this cope?
I wanted to ask if more experienced growers than I (both with this strain and in general) agreed that the odour of this strain is especially bad. I think I may be put off the strain if the smell was so bad that it would be an increased security risk!
All comments welcome -thanks!

It does stink mate, can make the whole house smell if not filtered properley and just outside the house... down the street a bit...
Doesn't really smell that much when it's being smoked though

Thanks everyone.
I have recently renewed my filter, and the space well sealed up - (silicon round all vurnerable edges) - with negative pressure etc.
Where ducting is clipped onto the filter / fan / room outlet spigot, I have reinforced the seals with tape.
The extract goes into the loft, (top flat), and vents under the eaves of the roof.
Sound OK to you for this strain?
Ta.
You will be fine with this strain with a good fan and filter.
Tis a bit of a ponger but by no means a cheese type stench.Which reminds me.Caught a taxi home the other night with a mate we were quite merry shall we say and not taking much notice of fuck all as you do,and I suddenly clicked started chuckling and said can you smell that?

not kidding only had a joint and a half well wrapped in my sock it fookin stunk.got dropped off well away from house

I've smoked Ak that tasted like Lemons and some that tasted like say sandlewood. Never tried one like blueberry though. Apparently there is a cherry pheno.
Good luck with the Ak Budfan, i'm sure you'll be fine with the smell as your filter isn't very old

like the others said.. you should be fine as long as you have a good filter. From what I understand they get rid of any smell at all as long as they are in good working order.
