10 Fragrant plants for covering up the smell of your marijuana plants

When you’re growing your own cannabis, there is one thing you need, that has nothing to do with the grow itself.

In fact, many beginning growers forget about this altogether.

I’m referring of course, to fragrant plants that mask the smell of weed.

10 Plants that mask the smell of weed

How to mask the smell of your weed plants

Cannabis in the flowering stage is extremely pungent.

If you don’t want people to notice suspicious smells, you’re going to want to grow another type of garden to cover up the smell of your Kush plants.

Which plants do you choose? These are the most fragrant plants you can cultivate to cover up the smell of your grow.

Calendula

The calendula plant is not only one of the most fragrant plants around, it has many other uses as well.

Calendula flowers are often used for therapeutic purposes.

The leaves have a more herbal scent, while the flowers smell sweet and strongly of resin.

Basil is a delicious herb that can be grown both indoors and outdoors.

It releases a strong, somewhat minty and peppery aroma, which will surely cover up the smell of even some of the strongest smelling cannabis plants.

Marjoram

As far as fragrant plants that will cover up the smell of your grow go, you can’t go wrong with marjoram.

The aroma of marjoram is similar to the strong herbal smell of oregano, but slightly sweeter.

Like basil, marjoram can also be grown indoors and outdoors.

Lavender

I personally love the smell of lavender, though others find it too strong.

No matter your thoughts on the scent of lavender itself, you can’t deny that its fragrance does a great job covering up the smell of cannabis plants in full bloom.

Lavender also works great for aromatherapy, so growing some lavender is sure to calm your nerves and alleviate stress.

Juniper

This is another of my favorite fragrant plants, and it works perfectly for covering up the smell of your grow.

Juniper is a shrub, and it will most likely attract animals to your garden, so make sure that you’re not using it to cover up an outdoor grow, otherwise animals might be drawn to your crops.

Lemon balm

Mmmm just the thought of the smell of lemon balm is making my mouth water.

Lemon balm is pretty easy to grow and will give your garden a fresh lemony and slightly minty aroma, sure to cover up even the most pungent of cannabis plants.
