Success at growing in the subburbs?

There are a few small wooded areas in my neighborhood but they are surrounded by suburbia. What are the chances that I could grow something like that in there? There are trails crosscrossing but few hikers mostly bikers and 4X4s that run through these areas but there are areas that seem more secuded without any trails. There are also a lot of deer in this area as well and a few farmers fields. But the fact is that it is near a large metropolitan area worries me slightly (most people on this board seem to be growing guerilla out in the middle of nowhere).

My thinking is this: only 1-100 people is going to walk by a 6 foot plant and recognize it for what it is amongst the other foliage. If only 50 people are bumbling through the underbrush and find my plant there is a good chance it will still be there come fall.

am I just trying to convince myself?

I'm not sure, never tried. I know that right around me people have grown in the parks and shit.... some get found some don't. you run the risk whether it's in the middle of nowhere or in a park in the suburbs. i just wouldn;t go visit them very much, let nature do it's thing. if you have plants still at the end then you can think about different options for making it better next year, if their gone, you need to find a new location.

Plant in different places...a few miles apart, that way you have a fallback option.

As far as in the woods close to you, look for the place that is the hardest to get to and plant best in the spot for sunlight and security.

It's usually kids going through those woods, they tend to stick to trails. Find a place with that in mind, you should be cool :D

As far as planting in the woods goes, I often times smell the plants out in the woods before i even see them and recognize them for what they are. And if you have several plants going it gets quite stinky. just keep that in mind as well.

Keep the mothers at home. Plant clones at varied locales. Also have an indoor op occurring at the same time. Keep your bases covered. Always wear clean underwear when leaving the house.

I'm going to give the same thing a shot. Just get a pack of a short, early flowering Indica and hope for the best.
