I worked for the feds as a nurse in Federal Occupational Health down on the TX/MX border. All US Marshals, FBI, DEA etc. Here's what they look for by eye in their words. "The fucking color is a dead giveaway" and "They look like Christmas trees from above - perfectly round." Yes they do use thermal but only for big ops like CA and KY/TN/GA (again according to them).
After that I began tying them to the ground like a vine. Made buckets of hooks from welding rod. If you plant a pumpkin the smoke can live right along with that vine and pumpkins don't die off until frost. Tied down the lower side buds that would be wimpy grown inside or been cloned off will grow to spectacular size considering. I grew in corn one time and one time only. Frigging corn stalks die and wither away and that welcome green showed through like a pimple on Barbie's nose. My landlords brother, a sheriff's deputy, stopped and informed me it could be seen from the highway "just in case I didn't know". No kidding and I picked it all that night.
BUT, watch for crop dusters, bugs, farmers with big fertilizer tanks and everything else associated with Big Ag these days.

Oh yeah my boy said he planted 650 in that corn feild which I doubt but it's what he said but I'm kinda waiting on them to be found one of these days the corn isn't growing that well this year
How much do ya'll think this will produce?!
The plant in the wooded area is fairly well camouflaged. I hope it is not located near the corn field, because when they find those plants, they will intensely search the entire nearby area and they will find ALL nearby plants then. The cornfield is a terrible spot because it is easily visible from the air and looks exactly like what it is: somebody growing pot plants in a corn field. If the sheriff doesn't find it, I expect that a private pilot will, and he will either steal it or report it.
Most states aggregate their eradication numbers by county. If you can find the data on how many plants are being pulled in your county annually, that will give you an idea of how intense the local eradication efforts are.

Thanks! Sounds like you know your shit... And ironically the other day there was a small plane they circled over the plants 3 times!! Im almost positive he was scoping out the plants, so hopefully he dosnt go to the popo with the pics... I live in the country and there are many small planes, flying go-karts, helicopters around(most personal use) so in-all fml i fu*ked up this yr putting them in a corn field

I would worry now that a plane has circled 3 times, deffantly saw it and he wouldnt circle if he wasnt going to go to the pigs, Go cut them down now or transplant carfully and quickly-My Opinion anyway- i have had helicopters and planes fly over my guirrila spots many times, and untell they circle or stop above it i dont worry.
If its not your biggest spot is it worth getting busted?

If it has been circled, it has been spotted. If it hasn't been pulled yet, then either the pilot covets the weed for himself or the sheriff is going to try to catch the grower. But that is kind of rare; cops usually pull the plants as soon as possible to get their eradication numbers up. Higher numbers = more funding for work they consider great fun. They know that if they wait on pulling it, the chance that it will disappear goes way up.
In fact, I'd say pull the plants right now and chalk it up to a lesson learned. That way neither the cops nor the weed pirates will get it. If you really want to get an A1 lesson in aerial surveillance, hire somebody to fly you around the county in a small plane. Inquire at the local airport, a lot of pilots need to get more flight hours, shouldn't cost much.
Also: If the corn field plants disappear by your hand, then they probably won't bother looking too hard at the surrounding area, thinking that all the plants from that grower have been pulled. Don't leave any evidence behind, not a shred of it.

That's right. It's been too hot and too dry. The silk hasn't formed and the corn is kaput. Farmers around here (central US) have started plowing up the cornfields. It's over. I wouldn't be surprised if your crop doesn't become another statistic in the drought of 2012.
wtf why would i kill 8 plants just for the hell of it?!?!?!?! Maybe it was just someone being nosey, theres lots of personal aircrafts around here, theres many possibilites and its not near my land, therfore this is the worse advice ive gotten, thanks!
someones smoked theirselves retarded.. fucking dumbass
As you stated, the plants have been spotted. If it was not the sheriff, then it was a private pilot. Now that pilot is going to do one of three things: 1. Steal it. 2. Report it to the police. 3. Tell people about it.
A blind pilot could spot that weed from a long way off. It is a cardinal rule of outdoor growing that once it has been spotted, it is going to disappear, either by cops or weed pirates. Neither of these two parties are going to wait for the weed to finish properly. By pulling weed that you know is going to disappear, you deprive cops of their numbers and weed pirates of stolen weed. The more weed they find in your area, the more they will start looking.
What do you figure your completion date is? Sometime in September? Come back in two weeks and tell me that weed is still there. It won't be, I guarantee it.
Alternately, get out there in the late evening, carefully transplant them into smart pots (or buckets with a few holes drilled in the bottom) and put them somewhere else. Obviously, you won't get optimum results but you should still get something out of them by this method.
