Do you grow the beans so bugs go to them first or cause of symbiotic relationship between. Of course you could just like beans I guess lol.

The thrips mildly prefer green beans to cannabis so far, so they lay their eggs in the bean leaves. I take all the mature leaves off the beans every few days and that reduces the thrips population.
The amount of nitrogen a few beans produce is negligible compared to what the cannabis needs, so I donāt choose them for my grow bags because of that. 
Beans are susceptible to many of the same diseases as cannabis, so in my opinion theyāre not an ideal companion. But so far they are the only thing that drew the thrips. Suggestions welcome for other plants - ideally ones that grow fast, seed is cheap, and they donāt bother the cannabis.
So far basil is an outstanding companion plant, but the thrips donāt prefer it. Iāve also grown tomatoes, peppers, phacelia tanecetifolia, thai lime, grains, and dragonfruit. Thrips chose #1 beans, #2 cannabis & sweet basil, #3 peppers & dragonfruit. They didnāt touch the other plants.

Yarrow, oregano, and stinging nettle can increase resin and essential oils in cannabis. There are a few more that I cant remember. I am growing in an established onion and garlic bed because they use the same fungi as cannabis.

Is this grown as a companion plant to assist with these productions? Just for brevity for myself @Magu

I have grown those herbs in pots with cannabis plants and it does increase resin. ( in my opinion). The plants ouside in the onion and garlic bed is a new idea Im trying and it seems to be working very well. The onions and garlic have grown there for several years so the soil is full of beneficial fungi.

I am 57. I started smoking at 14 and I was growing plants before I turned 15. So I have been growing about 43 + years. I fought the ā War on drugsā through all the bad years. We won! Germinating a seed is as close as you can get to being like God.

I donāt know about @Carty , but I have actually seen crap fly 
-----poop story-----
When I was a teenager, my younger sister and I babysat my baby brother for the first time. We were so proud, and then when it came time to change his diaper we were so focused, holding his feet up out of the way, remembering to hold a diaper over the top in case of fountainsā¦ You also need to know that just a couple steps to the right of the changing table were the mirrored closet doors. Right in the middle of the process he scrunched his little face up and squirted poo all the way to the mirror. It ran all down and into the door tracks. And thatās when I saw crap fly, and learned it makes a spectacular mess.

I have not grown that plant. First check if it is getting enough light. Then check to see if it is getting proper nutrients. Also you can post your plant on your own thread for the community to look at. I do not want to highjack this thread because @RainToday has her own buisiness to tend to.

Can you link me?
No worries @Thetravler Iām not territorial 
happy to see your plants wherever the conversation happens to be happening.
They look fine to me, the more sativa-ish varieties Iāve grown started out like that, with small buds spaced far apart. Iād expect them to put plenty of weight on the buds in the next few weeks.

Welcome to OG @mimi
At least, I hope - this seems to be a copy-paste from one of my posts - can you share something about yourself?
