YO sounds like a good idea but u'd have to be a dumbass to do it where i live due to all the helicopters/FLIR's flying over my house. Someone on this post said pine trees have the same signature as pot plants is this true?

Im not sure though any one else for some more clarification on this>\?

fill milk jugs with water. wear a back pack. put jug in back pack.....start walking....then go climb a tree.
and water.

if your plant is on a pulley system, then you could just use colapsable buckets, and leave the buckets out somewhere, where they can gather rain water. then carry it to your grow tree, and water. --- Put your plants near a river in a bush..


as for tree height, i wouldnt go too Huge. unless you have no fear of heights. i would say that any tree is fine, as long as the top of it gets light.
alot of tall trees dont have low branches, unless its a pine..which doesnt work well.

Another option could be growing on top of a grove of bamboo. The leaves look extremely similar from afar, and the colors are usually quite close. With lots of large stalks, you just shimmy up a dozen feet and tie up your buckets or sacks. You would have to be wary of the bamboo outgrowing your pot and stealing the sunlight though, bamboo tends to have a dense leafy canopy.

put barb wire up in the tree so people cant climb it ...or som sort of booby trap
Click to expand...
nah, no booby traps...if someone really does get caught in it either on purpose or by accident then that can cause a whole world of trouble you dont want to deal with...especially if its by accident...people go all over the place and lots of them have no sense

wow, i love the burlap idea. thats friggin great....i dont know why i never thought of that.
the only thing is, a burlap sack would kind of stick out a little bit more than a camoflauge bucket. if you do your spray painting right, the bucket really does seem invisible from the ground.
but hey, whatever works for ya, works.

the burlap trick can be further enhance by using 1/4" wire mesh around the bag to shape-shift it so it doesn't have that tell tale 5 gal. bucket in a tree sillhouette.... I tried it one year in a redwood! not a good idea unless you REALLY like a lot of fancy rope climbing! I gave up on that one, and just grew it on the ground.

i actually put an old mother plant that was overgrowing her space in the veg room in a tree this year...actually because of this thread...i didn't have room for it in the flower room and didn't need 20-30 new clones so i put it in a camo five gallon bucket with miracle gro soil perlite and some vermiculite....soil moist...and botanicare pure bled pro soil liquid karma and sweet...i'm giving the plant really low dose ferts like 1/4-1/2 strength and nothing more b/c the mg soil i think has time release bull shit. but i dont really care what happens to this plant...if i get any bud wheter its good or premature or nipped by the frost b/c i put it out so late (maybe 3weeks-a month or more ago) i'll be impressed...plus my tree seems to shade alot of light at differnts points of the day...plant only gets maximum light for a couple hours each day..my main priority is my indoor grow so i just climb the tree every so often and bring it a gallon or so or RO water or nutrients. its already budding so who knows??

i grew in a large old growth stump once, worked out great for predator defence and thieves but pruning and watering were hard as the stump was 6 feet off the ground and hollow. tree method sounds great better brush up on your knots

I used to be a "cable-dog" when I was in the army. We climbed telephone poles and trees to install landlines for our forces to talk over. I might have to use my tree climbing skills to do this one day.

If someone wants to do this, don't be concerned about finding an easy to climb tree. Just buy yourself some good tree spikes and practice until you are comfortable climbing and then set up your grow.

Do NOT force it. If you are not comfortable putting all of your weight on one spike while your other leg and your arms are otherwise busy, then you should not be climbing further off the ground than you are comfortable falling.

Happy growing!
