How to hide plants for helicopters and still get sunlight?

[cody8892000]

i was wondering what the best way to keep your plants hidden from helicopters? like i was thinking putting them in a big thing of weeds but then i dont know if my plants would get enough sun light

i mean unless you got copters flyin over your spot all day ever day then i wouldnt worry about it but you have to watch out for pine trees cause the pH will change

Mary is known to camaflouge well with corn. unless you have about 30 plants copters don't see, if there are copters with infrared (because mj plants give off heat) then six is the maximum for the infrareds to pick-up. I got three in my backyard and I live right next to helicopter tour trails so you should be fine.

So lets get this straight... a chopper is flying overhead, maybe searching for a couple of armed robbers, or car thieves that have got on their toes.

You have 7 weed plants in your garden giving off heat, as well as maybe a couple of trees, bushes a large hedgerow...

You saying the police are going to notice the extra heat source from the plants and recognise that they are cannabis plants just from a slightly red blob? Even thermal imaging (which the police have now) could not distinguish that a heat source is in fact cannabis plants.

I'd be more worried about neighbours, or those pesky visitors that creep through peoples gardens at night... and i'm talking about the human kind.

Cops be out SEARCHING for the weeds in their helicopters.
And we are probably not talking about local police most
of the time. More like DEA, or FBI or something.
its the war on drugs

Poison oak has the same thermal imaging color as marijuana. It can bee seen with thermal imaging very easy. Everything has a heat signature.. even plants.

But yeah poison oak will work.. and no one will want to go in it

nets might disguise your stash. Buy some bamboo sticks and jam them in the ground, then lay the net over it, making a canopy.

In my opinion, growing on hillsides offers protection because the helicopters wont fly as close to a hillside as over flat ground...I'm talking about steep hillsides though so people don't wanna walk up them either.. another option is starting clones inside and putting them out later in the growing season so they never get big enough to be picked up from the air..

If they are so steep that people would not want to walk up them,, then how do you get water to them? It doesn't always rain enough.

You could go to a craft store and get some silk flowers, (white or yellow work good) clip them in various spots on the plant, and round off the tips of the bigger leaves. From the air, they'll look like flowering bushes.

I had a scare from a chopper once. I lived in the hood, and we'd often smell various grow ops as we walked down our street. Obviously sometimes it was just some natural odor, but i think generally it was weed. Lol our neighbor was the one who gave us our seeds to start growing anyways. And they were actually pretty good seeds. lol my room mate told me that he'd seen our neighbors dad going out to his shed at night, and when he opened the door a nice red light would shine out. haha.


Anyways, one day at like 2 on a saturday morning there was a couple cop cars going like 20 km up and down the streets in our neighborhood. They had like their search lights on shinning them all over the place, and there was a hawk helicopter overhead with a search light.

At first, i just shrugged it off, but then my room mate called me to our balcony; the chopper had stopped right on top of our house, and the cruiser was right in front. and the chopper had it's search light directly down on the place. I nearly shit bricks, but we just sat out on the balcony and waved at the chopper.

All that happened was that the chopper just moved on.

Look to see how the sun arcs from east to west, In North America it arcs across the southern sky. So I find a tree line to the north and plant on the edge of the tree line so that my weed gets sun all day, but still blends in.

I like this suggestion the most. Effective and easy to do.
