Can environmental smell show up in buds after harvest?

Dumb question perhaps, but I once gave a bud to a friend that came from a plant grown in a laundry room and he thought the "perfume" terps were from dryer sheets being used over the time while the plant grew and flowered.
I thought that was the dumbest shit I'd heard, but... what say you?
Thanks :peace:

I mean if you grew in an active laundry room yah dryer lint doesn’t all go out and goes everywhere. It can taint buds. Same reason you don’t use ona gel and shit to mask bud smell it can get in the buds. It’s why everywhere I have setup is sterile I don’t wear my cologne while I’m working with my plants. I don’t want ppl getting those Kenneth Cole black terps

Dryer lint would be contamination, nothing to do with odours. Mushrooms are grown in maunure but they dont smell like shit though...

I've experienced the dryer sheet flavor in the distant past and always thought it was from people using dryer sheets to mask the smell during transportation, but I've also grown my own herb that never set foot near a dryer sheet or any other laundry products (I get a skin reaction to any kind of perfumed laundry product but dryer sheets are particularly bad), and it had that same exact taste. I don't know if it's a particular terpene but I'm now thinking there were never any dryer sheets involved, it was the flower itself.

I've had a strong taste in two different strains I bough at a dispensary. I thought it might be a sugar/booster they were feeding. It wasn't bad at first but I learned to not like it much by the time the weed was gone.

I don't recall a terp that taste or smells like dryer sheet. Next test I'll ask the lab tech if there's one lol

Well if you can smell something, then particulate is in the air. So to answer your question yes it feasibly could. How much time would it take to become prevalent I don’t know.

I wonder what the scientific answer to that question would be. I know some plants are able to absorb certain compounds from the air, but I think that's a different process, more like neutralization of certain odors of sort..
