Police?

Your best bet according to the Govt. is to place them next to herbaceous plants...and away from trees. ( <-- Number 5 in my above post)
I think tomato plants would be a great hider.


out. :blsmoke:
 
The color of marijuana plants is quite distinctive, but that doesn't mean it's easy to spot it from the air. You have to be down at a fairly low altitude just to pick it out, and the lower you are, the narrower your field of view. Have any of you guys ever been up in a helicopter? The ground is just fucking huge, and you can only see a tiny part of it at any given time. If you keep your grows small (a half dozen or dozen plants at the most), and scattered at random instead of planted in rows or some other telltale pattern, the only way a pilot could possibly spot it is just by the pure, blind luck of happening to look in exactly the right spot at exactly the right split second as he flies over at 50 miles per hour. And even then, the chances that he'd actually waste any time or fuel doing anything about a half dozen plants is even more miniscule. My primary grow area is a 20 to 25-square mile wilderness, and I see planes and helicopters flying over it all the time. I don't worry about it in the least. It's the guys on the ground who concern me.
 
the cops can use a special infrared frequency to sweep the area that only marijuana and a few other plants reflect but they probably wouldnt even notice it if there were only a few plants.

Your big post answered a question I had. I thought MJ would have a distinct spectral signature. Fortunately I was wrong. +rep for doing real research.

According to my old man Roses are shit hard to grow man. Harder than herb. That shit will probably frustrate the crap out of you. Tomatoes hide well. but I do alot of hiking and never saw tomatoes on the side of a MT or hill.. If I ever do Ill know whats behind em.

I was actually just looking for good places on a popular satellite imagery website and think I found someones old spot. Probably happens all the time.. But I was looking at one SMALL area intensely. Otherwise never woulda seen it.
 
if u guys saw choppers circling mountains in your area in the late summer, would you guys go to those spots to check for some plants? last summer i would sit in my backyard watching them fly by back and forth scoping out multiple hills...then i thought, fuck ttheyre lookin for plants:-?. a few years ago there was a HUGE bust right down the street from me, i guess one of the largest outdoor grows in socal. but its the mexicans growin up there supposedly for a cartel or some shit, they live near those spots man, like just on the ground with sleeping bags. its kinda shady

if you're growing outside, can't the police do a helicopter sweep and see the weed by using a special thermal camera thing? if so how do you hide your weed from the 5-o?:leaf:

depending on the altitude of the craft, camera & lens used & stabling system for camera, it would not be out of the question to get a very good photograph at 1000+ feet

i've seen a simple unsophisticated system of bungee cord attached to ceiling of plane or helicopter (for stabilization & dampening) which is then attached to the camera (25MB pixels RAW per shot), a hole is drilled through the floorboard of the plane to get the photos. if you're in a helicopter you can shoot out the door at angles

one can be serious about this & can invest in a gyroscope as the stabilization system and use professional photo editing software like Aperture's loop to zoom into the plants

if you're worried about this, hide the plants in among the other garden plants. digital photography has a terrible time distinguishing a mass of green, like leaves on branches.

u should be more worried if the plants are separated from the others in their "special" place which was cleared away from the neighboring plants


:)

EDIT: oopsie, u said thermal imaging, my bad :)
 
I agree. Keep it under 10, and you should be fine. They are looking for huge grow areas. I personally only grow 5 each summer, provides me enough. I grow 10-15 indoors however during the same time. Just keep a low profile, and plant them next to other green plants.
