Helicopters and detection

[SMNG29]

I was wondering if any one knows the chance of being caught growing only one plant outside. With choppers with IR imaging and so on now a days will they detect one plant? If i grew it in a small pot like only 6in pot it would keep it small which would mean a lower chance of getting caught from the sky right(not a heavy user really only like to grow) whats the chance of a helicopter actually detecting one plant outside especaly if it stays under a foot just a bit bushy? thanks

73% odds .....LOL no really tho, they will not see it, they look for crops thats how they can see it from the air. just dont put it in the middle of your backyard all by itself.

be more worried about neighbors and such.

It may be visible by sattelite imagery.

LOL if they busted everyone for 1 plant. we'd all be broke taxpayers.

no worries mate grow a few more in case that one doesnt cut it. anyhow variety is a nice thing. under a foot tall and bushy you could attach a sign on it proclaiming what it is and the choppers will not touch it.peace, grow more.

i am a broke taxpayer!

I'd go a bit bigger than a 6" pot.

Put it were the guy who reads your electric meter does not see it and you'll be cool

look into auto-flower strains, they stay short and finish extra early way before choppers are out! start a veggie garden and throw a couple auto flower plants in with the veggie's.

either way you dont need to be soo paranoid about growing 1 plant, especially thinking that helicoptors will contact local police to get a search warrant for what they think is 1 tiny little weed plant!!!

I've grown in in my back yard, living right next door to the high school Princ., three to four plants every year about 18". Throw a tomatoe plant or three they will blend right in.

i know first hand they don't spot them that easily, i had a group of pots in a gaping opening in the woods and the flying pigs didn't spot it till the end of the season, had to abandon everything after buddy ran from a cop at the spot. fortunately he got away safely.

How many pots did you have in that clearing?

 

[pot scott]

about 15-20 1x1 pots

 

[rzza]

so you got caught, then they do find them that easily. i dont get it.

I planted my weed with tomatoes but my tomatoes are growing faster then them.

i didn't get caught my plants did, and the clearing was so gaping that it's really shocking they weren't found earlier than they were. but i've learned a lot since my first and second outdoor ops. so i won't make the same mistake twice.

Your question depends heavily on where youre at, my man. Where im at, you could be standing in a clearing on a 10 foot ladder, smoking a blunt and holding a 1 foot tall weed plant above your head like its fucking baby Simba, and a CAMP (Campaign Against Marijuana Produciton) helicopter 50 feet away wouldn't even look twice.

I have been buzzed by choppers from CAMP maybe a dozen times while standing in my 25 plant crop, smoking a joint and waving at them. Once, the fuckin copter was so close we could paractically see the pilot's facial hair, so me and my two friends mooned that mother effer and he flew away.

Anyway, im baked and im getting side tracked... In short, you should be fine my friend. I don't know about the laws in your area, but I feel fairly confident that no matter where you live, no law enforcement agency would be wasting money on eradicating a one plant crop spotted by a helicopter. Hope all goes well for you! Good luck with the grow peace!
