high humidity could slow evaporation of terps/flavanoids. slower evaporation = less smell. Some plants just don't smell much unless you agitate them -- don't agitate it, lol. but, if you shake it a little bit, i bet it stinks up the area. Due to all the interbreeding, anyone source telling you specific traits like that is probably lying or lying to themselves. Could look up where various strains came from and hope they haven't been interbred withplants outside that region where it evolved... someting near equator, for example, is better equipped to handle high heat, i wager... but the seeds you buy are all hybrids and interbred.. jumbled up traits. word-of-mouth is your best option and that is incredibly unreliable, lol.
