Are there really strains with 30% thc?

Properly dialed in environment and zero stress. If they don't like it, they smell. In my garden if I smell anything, something is wrong 8)

Apparently I'm stressin the shit outta these plants because they stink to high heaven.

Visually they look fine to me. Temps are around 70 lights off, 78 lights on. Humidity stays around 50%, maybe a smidge higher this time of year. Plenty of air movement throughout the room. 11.5 hours of light per day. Completely sealed dark room during lights off. Organically amended soil with home made worm castings.

Why do my plants stink then? You had mentioned to me in another thread that perhaps my lights were too close to the canopy, so I moved them up another 6", and they still stink. I have always been under the impression that odor was a genetic factor. Honestly I like the stank, but I'm super curious to see if I can grow them out odor free now....

1st thing is you need to quit packing on all those crystals via brix(carbs sugars) so they will be sad.
The female flower only wants to reproduce seeds so she can procreate her next generation. She does this by creating spectacular colors and fragrances to attract insects like bees that pollinate across all continents. The resins are to protect the plant from the harsh uv rays the sun throws down and also to help that pollin stick to the female then the hair takes down to start seed production.
So you see it's very unnatural for our ladies not to put off a fragrance......unless they are seeded

This is just my thoughts on the subject. Not sure if this even relates to @RM3's ideas, but here is a potential idea.
In a perfectly dialed in environment, there are zero stress to plants. Meaning light at a correct height, temps optimal, air quality optimal. .....
If this is achieved, maybe the terpines don't volatize or degrade. Hence then no smell!
If any of these factors are off, then unhappy plants that have degrading resin.
I might be completely wrong, but that is one theory.

Eta....remember he doesn't say his strains are flavorless, just no smell when growing.

Also, most grower are dialed in on their rooms during the day, but not at night! So if your humidity gets higher at night or your not exhausting correctly, or your temps are fluctuating, these are possible factors that can create a strong odor when the lights come on.

Yeah, one thing I noticed is if I have the vent fan off during the night cycle it smells really strong so I just keep the air flowing kinda like in nature. I really don't even need a carbon filter but their is a smell certainly wouldn't do it in an apartment but it don't smell too strong most people don't even notice but occasionally. But no smell gets outside of my house.

I figure the amount of THC in the actual strain isn't what matters, but how it was grown, taken care of, and how long it was left to mature are the main factors. The better the growth and care put into it, the better it will turn out and that could mean something with even less THC than more THC would potentially turn out way better as others have stated.

I am growing Mexican sativas with one Pakistani plant. Not much odor at all. I have them under LED white color, and temps are low.

I have grown under the same lights with temps fairly low and quite a stench. Lots of indica will do that imo. RM3 grows mostly sativas so I think that is a lot of the puzzle.

Getting the top of the canopy hot is another thing, does not matter if the tent is cool. The tops are not cool.
