Sorry I have bad english. I used a tranlator now and I mean to say, do you guys have any tips on how to avoid getting caught by them

I have always looked for areas that have really green growth till November atleast and then your girls don't stand out extremely. To stay under the radar completely would be to plant by pine trees. Pine trees and a cannabis plants look basically the same from the air and put off similar reflections.

I heard that somewhere else too. Thanks my friend

Bro, unless your growing an acre of it ,the police are the least of your worries as they find only 1% of outdoor crops anually. Rip offs/thieves are the real enemy, cover all tracks,dont be seen going in.

When you see a chopper, take off running in an opposite direction from your plants. Take off your shirt, wave your arms in the air, get their attention and lure them away.














JK, don't do anything, it's just a chopper and you're just a guy up to nothing wrong.

I agree. Unless they get lucky, I think less than 10 plants would be extremely difficult to see from the air. So, the best advice would be to do multiple patches that are smaller. For example, if your plan is do grow 50 plants, don't put them all in one area. Spread it out and put maybe 10 plants in 5 different locations. The advantages are that it is much harder to see from the air like I mentioned, but more importantly, you won't lose everything if one spot happens to be discovered. The only downside is that it is a little bit more work and less convenient maintaining several patches rather than just one spot.

Another tip is to avoid planting in patterns. Try plant in a random fashion rather than in a straight line or in a square.

I think the threat of choppers varies greatly from location to location. In a lot of places, they don't do flyovers unless they have reason to believe there is a large grow or if the area is known for growing.

in eastern ky, they fly over every day starting from June until August, and you wonder how the economy is so bad how much money does it take to keep a chopper in the air for 8 hours a day, 90 days in a row.
