Hiding Smell.

[machinegreenkelly]

Is there any companion plants or has anyone had successful techniques to help cover up smell? Thanks.

nope. well nothing you'd want to have around like rotting flesh/poop. I have some evergreen honeysuckle smells great all through the summer but I still catch whiffs of the buds and they are only halfway into flower right now and I can smell them 100 ft. away.

well in my neck of the woods I can go to the coast an get a truckload of shrimp waste for nothing. That stinks sooo bad, you might create more problems doing something along those lines.

Honeysuckle and jasmine are good. Orange and Lemon blossoms are good, if you are in an area that will grow them. My strategy is to not plant varieties with skunk in them. I don't like it and I my neighbors wouldn't either, it's a big reason for counties in California to restrict, or outlaw, growing outdoors. I like the fruit varieties, they smell sweet.

try growing a really low odor strain like C99. i can never smell mine unless i brush against them.

HAHA yeah I find the skunk varieties are the worst for smell too, don't use Cheese, kush or anything with with afghani in it if you want low profile haha. Sativa strains can be a little less loud too, but than you don't get the couch lock as much. Best to hide them really well and have a secluded drying spot. I always have trouble hiding the smell come drying time haha.

this year for my backyard outdoor, x12 50gal smartpots buried, im going to make a room/garage into a drying room and put a carbon filter with 6inch fan to smell proof the trimming and drying room, i sware most of the busts/robberies i hear about all come because it was smelling too much at harvest time, i wanna cut that out AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!

I had a plant last year that stank.like it was in week 6 of flowering all the way thru from early veg..now that was stressfull but ended up being the best smoke im smoking for a decade

Ive had the same problem, with only a wooden privacy fence between my neighbors and I. What worked for me is when flowering starts I make my own stain and stain both the fence and my deck. I pretty much mix a solution of 50/50 mineral spirits and linseed oil. With this much oil added it takes weeks to dry and has that strong stain smell that helps overpower the weed stank. Of course I'm not growing any cheeses either, but my blockheads are starting to smell though,

I liked one guy's advice I read last year. Find a roadkill skunk and plop him down on the street in your neighborhood. Sometimes it's better to alter your neighbor's perception of the odor rather than try to cover it up.

Good luck transporting that dead skunk to you hood.

Ive seen people use lilacs,lavender and rows of sunflowers to help create diversion smells.

Well if you think about it, you have at least 2 choices - 1. Find a fresh roadkill whose stink sack hasn't been ruptured and there will be very little odor. You don't need your dead skunk to stink, your uninformed neighbors will mistake your weed smell as the smell of the dead skunk, which is kind of the point, don't you think. OR B. If all you can find is a stinker, a shovel, a box and a truck bed make it something even a grandmother can do, no offense to grandmas.

As far as using plants such as lavender, sounds like a great idea depending on how much lavender you plan on growing. I was at a winery a couple of weeks ago that had approximately 3 acres of lavender at peak flower, several hundred plants, and it smelled awesome. But if you put 6 pot plants in the middle of that 3 acre field of blooming lavender, it would smell like a lavender scented skunk.. IMHO.
