My plants don’t really have a smell.. After touching the stem or bud they smell dank. But up close nothing. These are bag seeds but I remember the bud having a great smell. And I’m a lil worried there starting to look good but not loud at all.. anything I can do?

They look great! As for the smell thing it mostly a genetic thing. you can try to lower you day temps down to like 73*F or 70* and it might help bring out a little more smell to hit. Terpenes (what gives it smell) can get damaged fairly easy, by touching by heat and many other factors. I wouldn't worry about it to much tho because some strains don't have much of a smell until they are cured. The Curing process is very important when it comes to flavor and smell, For example so strains have a couple different smells at different cure times. like this Critical hog I ran it has a cheese like smell around the first 4 weeks of curing then from there this grape smell starts to show up out of nowhere and buries the cheese to where it is only and undertone.Hope this helps and if you have any other questions feel free to ask😊 Happy Growing👊

Another thing to remember is if your filtering the air with a carbon filter there probably isn't time for the smell to build up. I find none of my grows smell all that much till I turn off the exhaust.

There are few things you can do to improve the smell and terpene profile, but really 90% of it is in the genetics. You're doing everything correctly, and the findal bud smell will be loud even if the growing smell is not there yet. What you can do is adding PK and molasses these nutrients and micro nutrients are used to make terpenes by the plant so adding them will improve the smell (and taste!) . Second you can sort of "flick" the stem a bit or shake/move the plant with your fingers and see if that kind of manipulation makes the plant release any smell or not. Sometimes it does and it's a nice surprise. Most of all you should just be patient, i can garantee you that during the chop you'll get what you're looking for, because the grow is going great. Hope this helps ! 🚀

I can't really help you but I can say that almost all my grows had a weak smell while growing but after drying and curing they turned awesome in flavor. I think you shouldn't worry that much your plants look very good and I bet the smell pretty good in the end!
