Not at all bro...this happened to me....Anyways, me and my dad had about 14 plants growing all girls and about 7 feet plus tall in some woods by our trailer...This is when i was 19 and still living with my paps. Anyways, we were going to chop them one day cause they were about done, but my dad was insistent on letting them go one more day...so we did. Anyway the next day we hear a chopper overhead....we go outside on the porch and see it circling the woods back and forth. It was fucking trippy, after a circle we ran over and tried to get anything we could which was like one plant. and ran back, on the next circle back it hovered above the plant and 3 swat guys roped down from the chopper....we were fucked...they got all of them but one of our smallest ones...all 13 7 foot beauties that took all year to grow...WERE GONE....
You see when pot soakes up the sun it heats up alot giving off a big infrared signal easy to see in woods even if concealed really well. I still am bummed to this day and i am 24....it is true though..but as far as busting someone in a house its almost impossible unless you have like a 100 plant operation with alot of lights...
