Legal Security Plants

Hello there, I leave a window open for my grow room to get fresh air. My neighbors only come on weekends sometimes. I wanted to grow some plants under that window, so they smell nice or whatever rather than the stank.

I already grow catnip and catgrass, but they dont smell and are very small. Im not a gardener, so cant take care of anything too difficult.
If you are relying on other plants to mask the considerable odor of a grow, you're already robbed or arrested, you just don't know it yet. Leaving a window open while fans, etc. are running inside is incredibly obvious, especially in the winter.

You're not prepared to grow pot. You need to research more and have a solid security plan in place. If you are relying on other plants to mask the considerable odor of a grow, you're already robbed or arrested, you just don't know it yet. Leaving a window open while fans, etc. are running inside is incredibly obvious, especially in the winter. Get your shit together and come back to it when you are prepared to mitigate as many risks as possible so that you can grow safely and securely. Judging by what you've said here, you are on a short path to a serious problem.
You couldve got your point across much differently. I never said I dont have a carbon filter, its Phresh brand and works great. I just enjoy growing and thought why not have some really good pungent smelling plants. Truly not trying to argue with you, just unnecessary to tell me im not prepared. Thanks for replying tho..

My apologies for misunderstanding and if I came across as negative, then. It was posted out of concern for your safety and nothing more. Looking back at the post, it was a bit negative.

Rosemary might be worth looking into as the oils are some of the most pungent smelling you'll find in a kitchen herb, and basil is a great practice plant for cannabis as you can test your topping/training methods and it grows very similarly to pot.


Please reconsider leaving a window open particularly if that window is visible from the exterior of the building. There are very few reasons for someone to have a window open in the winter time and if you're in an area where cannabis is legal/medical or there are a lot of indoor grows, I promise you that people are going to notice.

Open your window now, and you will be caulking every little crack next year to keep the bugs out.
Just my experience.
Are you saying having a window open will lead to bugs? From like late nov to march im ok where I live but will have to invest in a small ac. Live in a pretty cold area so its kind of nice.


The main reason I have the window cracked (it has a fabric sheet ment for windows covering it) is I dont have another fresh air source without cutting a hole in my wall

Thats how I discovered just how infested my hood is. I have to treat outside as well as indoors just to keep them at bay.

chives, marigolds. Chives are perennial and can be mowed down occasionally to REALLY produce some smell, and they will grow right back.

Tha ks for all the replies. I dont understand how this would be moved to The Black Briefcase, its regarding growing plants that are not cannabis.

I like butterfly bushes, they do smell nice but they attract every flying insect around. When I was out in Portland, OR there were these shrub rows people had that smelled like straight up cat piss. No clue what it was. Stank so bad, hated them, find some of those and you're set.
