Does marigolds work well with marijuana as organic pest blocker.Or do they steal nutrition off my plants?

Does sage work good to reduce scent? And is there other herbs that will help to reduce scent of my plants

I heard garlic can help by given your plants nutrition what are some other helpful herbs to help my marijuana to grow strong.

Does corn work or is it a old wise tale? I know it is good sight blocker.

Awseome questions, and welcome to organic growing! Im assuming your looking at outdoor growing since you mentioned corn, Id plant the marigolds nearby, along with chrysanthemums, a row of garlic will also repel some of the bugs. as far as scent, sage is good, as is lavender, basil, rosemary, a general herb garden. honeysuckle is also a nice scent that helps mask the sweet sickly odor of late summer buds. as far as feeding goes, there are some stickys in the top of the organic section ill link em for you, if you have any questions ask away people are nice here.

From what I know about sage, they bloom in the summer to mid-summer, grow out to be about three feet tall and wide, and they're susceptible to mildew and other fungal diseases. They grow best in airy soils, like coir and peat moss, the same stuff that cannabis grows in.

I have read garlic, cilantro, and peppers keep pests away. I've haven't grown the first two, but the peppers didn't do anything to keep pest away in my garden. If anything they attracted pests. Legumes like sugar snap peas add nitrogen to the soil. Carrots attract predator insects. Spiders and ladybugs like to hide in their foliage.

Corn likes to grow with it's friends. You usually want to grow at least four so they cross-pollinate each other. They attract earworms, which can do lots of damage in a short time, and because they average six feet in height they consume lots of nitrogen. If you plant several legumes in between the cannabis and the corn, you should be fine. This is assuming your growing in a small garden bed or growing Square Foot Gardening (SFG) style.

Marigolds don't take up much space and are pretty easy to grow. Of everything listed, they'll be the first to die if a light frost occurs. Second would sage.

Aromatic herbs, like Basil, Sage, Oregano, Thyme, Peppermint and Rosemary are actually supposed to ENHANCE aromas and oil production of the other plants growing around them.

Usually these herbs wont emit a strong smell unless they are bushed upon, unlike cannabis, which emits smells into the surrounding environment by just sitting there, growing.

Corn is a heavy feeder, like cannabis, so I would not plant these two near each other unless you have plenty of compost to throw around.

Marigolds are a wonderful addition to any garden, and will do more good than harm.

Organic farming is, and should be simple. Take care of the soil and the plants, they will take care of you.
