Yeah, I'm thinking it would have to be something that is very fragrant; like herbs. But how kool would watermelon pot be?!

Mint can really take over, but if you were planting outside; well it's a good idea indeed. For blending you plants into the scenery, that it. It may not add much/any flavor, but it will definately make the weed smell like mint. LOL... menthol joints - some Newport smoker's dream come true!!! ...lol

Ahh Newports, I used to be a smoker and that was my brand...

I love lavendar, it takes over everything in the garden too. Wonder what lavendar scented pot would be like. The dried lavendar sack and fresh cutting by my bed, put me right to sleep. Think the pot would have the same effect? Just a thought...

In the case of most herbs, I'd imagine you wouldn't want the flavor to carry over to the weed.

Great discussion thread, I'm gonna think on it some more and I can't wait to see who weighs in on this one...

i have had something that was claimed to be lavender cross bred with purp k. smelled, looked, and tasted true enough. is that possible?

Yeah, that's absolutely possible. Though I have to wonder how that would actually turn out potency-wise. Would the plant still produce as many trichomes? Is that a dominant or recessive trait? How much experimentation has been done with trying to produce a new species of cannabis? ...ok, so perhaps that's more of a breeding question than a companion planting one...

Bringing this back on track, I know that mentha-something-or-other is used in the synthesis of THC, would that have anything to do with Mentha L.? Does the possibility exist that companion planting mint could help augment the chemical composition of cannabis similar to the manner in which the stinging nettle does?

Would mint be more fragrant than cannabis?

And companion planting Lavender would be pretty cool, too. Though I have to wonder how that would smell... Actually, it would probably smell orgasmic.

Hrm... I always wanted a garden that might attract birds.

Ponders... lavender weed. mint weed. I'm loving this. I might have to make a marijuana Mojito. Oh god. that sounds like a sip of heaven...

/me drifts off into a dream...

This is the scope I use - may be the best $11.00 I ever spent.

I'm guessing that no matter what it is co-planted with, it would still create plenty of trichomes, cause that is a dominate trait in marijuana. But how does stinging nettle change its co-plant? I not familiar with that.

Definately, the mint would over smell the weed - or get close to rendering the smell unreckonizible??? I'm high and just talking off the top of my head... lol

And oh yeah, just like you, the thought of all this sounds so delicious...

I agree with you 100%.
I'm gonna get one that will hook up to the PC eventually, but for now, that works great for me...

On an indoor note.....
I grow pineapple, curly, orange and chocolate mint as well as lavender in my grow cabinet to reduce the overall smell of my plants. When the lights kick on, the mint heats up a bit and is quite strong smelling when the doors are opened. Gives my basement a minty fresh smell as well.
