This will be a home for all things related to the cultivation of cannabis. The preferred focus here will be organic and sustainable growing methods, but any cannabis growers or growers-to-be are welcome!
The moderator and community creator here is in a legal cannabis state. It is therefore assumed that everyone sharing photos and info about their grows is also doing so legally. If you're not, then keep that to yourself. Any mention of actively conducting a cannabis grow illegally will be removed. This is to protect our instance admin, and will be a zero-tolerance policy.
Happy growing!

I know Marigolds have a deterrent quality to them for pest like bugs and stay in bloom for quite a while. But I’m not sure if they’d help with grasshoppers. We used them around our tomatoes this year with great success!
Absolutely! Rosemary, Lavender, and Basil also work in that regard with some pests too.
There's also trap plants you can use to lure certain pests away from the plants you care more about.
For example, I use bush beans for spider mites. By keeping the beans near my crop, if spider mites make it into the greenhouses, they typically go for the beans first. So if I see mites on the beans, I can then take preventative measure to protect my crop.
