I want to know how to disquise 5 gallon grow bags so that they can't be spotted by airplanes and choppers.The ground around the grow spot is light to dark brown.The Idea is too somehow make it look like they are growing out of the ground .

when i use grow bags or 5g pails, i actually bury them in a hole in the ground.. sometimes all the way, other times when i'm lazy or if the ground is hard digging, i only bury them a foot or so..

why not grab some spray paint and DIY camo?

i have a few cans of green/brown spray and i paint everything i leave outside at the grow site

not sure how much it would help but get some spray on glue, and spray the outside of the bag and roll it on the ground, it will pick up alot of the local mulch whatever it may be, do it a few times to get a good amount on there, not sure how it would cover from the sky but it helps a bit

What i tried doing this weekend with my grow bags is i sprinked grass seeds all over it, idk if its gonna work, but its worth a try.

well i sprayed a few 5 gallon buckets with glue and rolled them in leaves it works well on solid buckets, not sure how it will work on bags since they flex but i'd definetly try it, dry brown leaves work pretty well

How To Make a ghillie suit: cut burlap bags in about 4"wide strips in various lengths and patterns(think jagged). tease loose ends with a comb or your fingers, into frayed ends. I usually cut the sandbag along the seam and up one side; open it flat,( use sewing scissors)then I try to get one long ribbon 8-10" wide(make it uneven), then fringe it up cutting 3/4 the way through the 'ribbon'every 4" or less. then LIGHTLY spraypaint whatever earth tones are needed to 'match the paint'. just go real light on the spraypaint....you should end up with a roughly 5' long piece of ghillie, which is wonderful for camouflaging almost anything. also, you might try adding weeds to your bag wrap.
