All growers on grasscity, don't post pic of your crop with an iPhone or android. They use geotagging. Basically, what this means is someone simply needs to change a setting on their iPhone or android, save the picture via the GC forum app, and they can open it up and see exactly where it is in the world through google maps. This is gonna get you busted or get crops stolen. Sorry if there's already a thread but I thought this was important for you to know.

However, you could just open up each image and press the "Print Screen" key on your keyboard and paste it into paint. That way there will be no geo-tagging associated to the picture whatsoever.
