choppers will never notice 4 plants. grow on.

A helicopter flying over head couldn't necessarily visibly see your crops however police can use infrared cameras and other equipment that can detect cannabis by measuring the heat and reflective signature of the vegetation below. marijuana has a higher reflectivity at certain wavelengths and would standout if its growing among things with lower reflectivity of these particular wavelengths. Will they be able to snipe out four plants? I don't know. What are the chances they would even do this in your area? Probably not high. I also plan on growing outdoors and have researched the subject because like many people, time behind bars is not something that excites me. I don't think it is a huge problem but I'm replying just so you know we're not invincible

how high up is this helicopter. i live in a part of town where the copter chases people. when they catch them the copter circles. they are LOW i can see the guy sitting there looking out. marijuana has a VERy distinct footprint. very green, very round, very bushy. you ever here of CAMP. they use copters. now mind you these are BIG crops but i think 4 plants together in a backyard are going to be VERY visible to a law enforcement helicopter. there are variables to this answer though. where exactly would these 4 plants be? is there nearby fiolage? what is surrounding the 4 plants? is this a casual fly-by or are they search for pot? ever use google earth. i can see my garden from space. well last years anyway. just be careful and have fun.

yup like , about 4

blocks away there is the main police station where on a hill. where helicopters take off and land and i keep them by anothere differrnt kind of plant that the leaves actually look like cannabis, on a wooden box ive been doing it for a couple years so i think i might be able to play the grow

hi in a way your lucky cos you live in a hot place so you get the choice if you wanna grow outside,the downside is choppers flying by all the time,the last time a police chopper flow over my house was about 4 years ago cos they only have one and searching for plants aint really their thing,mind you they dont have too cos its too dam cold here to grow outside anyway........good luck

if they are small keep them bunched close and cover the soil in the pot it stands out like a big black dot. use natural colored pots. try to get them to blend in as much as possible.

if they are large try to scatter them. do not put them in rows or squares. once again make it look natural.

when you are done go up on the roof and look down. you'd be surprised at how it actually looks.

how do i know all this? because man, i'm a bird. i'm fuckin' flyin'...............................

Shit, I could'nt grow outside here EVER! I live directly across the street from a Middle School and theres a helicopter everyweek that does practice landings over there... Those fuckers are probably about 30 over my house atleast once a week!

Heres an interesting tip. Cut off all but the center spade of each leaf over time and itll look like a normal bush
