I dont know that strain so I dont know if its known to stink. I have grown areas that just no matter what...the smell was outrageous. I have had another grow that seriously...you could stand outside the door and not know it was even there. I liked them both and I woiuldn't say one was better then the other. They both smelled good once cured anyways. However, right now I have a variety of strains, some of which are known to be stinky, and I just dont have much smell. I attribute it to a serious amount of air running through the room and the grow closet. I move enough air that the smell can never gather in one spot so its dispersed (or so I think). When I turn the fans off and let it sit for an hour...well then its a different story.

Right now we have some Cindy 99 plants about 8" tall that only get fan about half the day. There are 4 plants, 6-8" tall. The closet stinks more then another closet that runs 8 plants and 1000 watts...and they are 4 weeks into flower!!! Lot of airflow in that room, compared to the closet with the Cindy 99 that doesnt have much air or ventillation.

Darkness is strain specific. I would only do it if you know the strain responds to it well. Ive never tried it for longer then 2 days. I never noticed a difference except that it saved a few dollars in electricity.
