Growing with veggies, anything to cover the smell?

Thinking about doing a backyard grow. I was thinking about growing a couple of plants in between a few corn blocks.

As this is a suburban house the smell would be able to travel to the neighbors quite quickly im assuming. Should i border my patch with some strong smelling flower/herbs? Any help or suggestion on camo-ing it better?

i have about 7 plants and i dont really smell anything since its outside imo (unless i go up to the plant ) as for camo just plant it by other green plants but make sure it has room for sun and nothing on the ground ( i even sometimes put dead grass / leafs at the ground where its cleared out to cover the open spot around the plant ( without effecting the roots )

Thanks for the reply, i havnt grown before so not sure how intense the smell is but from what i read it seems quite noticable, and having neighbors so close, dont want them to catch wiff of my grow op.

Hopefully the corn will be enough to cover my plants, was thinkin about this camo for the patch;
(C being Corn, and M being Mary-jane)

Gonna search the net a bit tonight, got a 12hour shift so should find plenty , and hopefully find some herbs to plant at the feet of the corn bed.


Again, always open for opinions and info if ya got em!

Different strains have different odor characteristics. I've never grown Northern Lights but from what I understand it has low odor, but there are also others. Also, something else to consider, the height of your plant. Choose a strain that will stay the same height as the plants that you plan to surround it with so that it's not some sativa plant towering 2 feet above your corn, okra, or tomatos. Me personally, I keep my MJ plants out of my garden, opting for the edge of the yard away from it and amongst weeds or native foliage since anybody who walks into the yard will be focusing on the garden itself. This has worked for me for years. Good luck!
