thanks for the feedback - first of all i would like to say that this will be a 2 man operation if i decide to go ahead with it. bricktop, i had already thought about half the things you asked and i have pretty good answers for most of them.. firstly about the apperance and it being found by someone, there is noway possible you can hide your grow from every1 when growing outside on public land, that is the reason iam going to find a place pretty far from public roads ect.. that i no that dog walkers ,farmers dont go to only people i can think of going are hunters.. WATER, i will beable to carry ruffly 10 gallon per trip, i can make up to 3 trips a day if necessary. securing the pots ,i would probably just tie them down with rope,as for the winds, iv had a tree house built on 3 diffrent trees with a triangle frame for the base it worked quite well that way because each tree was able to sway and aslong as i use good strong 4 inch coach bolts i cant see it the hole thing will be made out of scaffold boards that are about 2 miles away abandon.. i got my quad i can get a lot of shit near the place and then carry with my friend on foot to stop tracks, as for the tree foliage above my plants blocking light,a pair of garden sheers will solve that problem, u say it will stand out alot from the sky, yeh maybe for 2 or 3 weeks when its full of plants you wont see the platform, i dont think that is a big threat anyways... and for gettin shit up that aint a problem i got a little pullywheel on a big hook i can hang from a tree branch put a rope through and pull up like 20kg of shit at a time.. 1 person on the platform 1 on the ground wont take long as for gettin up to the platform that will be a rope ladder with a peice of string to get it down.. the string gets put through anuther tree and hangs down so it is a few meters away from the actual platform no storage box it will just be the plants on the platform nothing else i will bring everything i need everytime i visit
