"Here are some stealth tactics: Tie down your plants to the ground for reduced visibility. Rather than allowing them to grow straight up. Put red plastic balls on the plants to make it look like poison berries. Cut the leaf tips square so the plant does not look like cannabis as much. Use small patches instead of larger fields. Do not be organized as in a grid so that it looks a manicured field. Make it look natural which means random arrangement. Plant where nobody goes but that can be very difficult these days. Plant where nobody expects, like in swamps where you can get a constant water supply. Keep your fertilizer sticks hidden from view, cover them with dirt. Keep everything natural looking and do not be so invasive that it is noticeable. No telltales signs at all. Avoid creating highly trafficked pathways, perlite, grower debris like nutrient containers, feeding tubes, fert sticks, etc. are all tells that someone is growing in the area. Be smart and cover everything using nature preferably. This is also applicable to many indoor growers as I have seen dirt from growing buckets with roots dumped or perlite outside of garages and shops. These people are not fooling anybody and by the way, I can also smell soilless mixes like HP
Promix. This is inviting cops or grow rippers into your home or backyard. They still can spot your plant visually or by the light signature that the plant emits as well as by gas chromatography. They probably have other detection methods as well of which I am unaware. Be careful out there and please add your comments to help our outdoor growers. Common sense is your best tool...
