Yes, some strains can produce quite an aroma, even from a young age and many weeks before flowering commences and while still in vegetative growth.
Some will even stink from 2-3 weeks of age onwards and then really stink when in flower, all this is normal and strain dependent.
This can be a real problem for growers trying to maintain a discreet garden. Sometimes the only option is to cull the stinky plant to protect the rest of the garden.
Strains like "Skunk" have this name for a reason and heavy aroma is often associated with Indica or Indica dominant strains.
