the smell is a dead gveaway, the skunk strains though can trick a lot people into thinking theres just skunks around, but yeah the stank travels for a long long way. a big reason a lot of spots get caught is some cop is hiking in the woods or some asshole is and they smell it, then they call the feds abiout it. then the dogs come and lead em right there, then they wait for you. beleive me the smell will travel. you need to go and find a spot that is far far farther than anyone will ever go. then when you find that spot go another mile in and plant there.....theresa a green team in every state thats job is just to find ganja grows, be careful
one place i used to grow was a rock crushing place where i live by. i found outcrops on the cliffs and my boy and me repelled down to the outcrop and roped 5 gallon buckets down and grew them there. the climb a tree and wedge the bucket in it method works well. the number one reasion peoples gorrilla grows get caught is that marijuana is a very noticable plant from a helicopter. the tops look round and unlike any other plant and also part of the reason is that people till their spots and shit...when they fly by which they absolutly will (because if you thought of that place then the green team has too) they will notice a bunch of plants neatly lined up and grow in patches, i would advise growing em next to ferns and shit like that. also stagger em, dont bunch em up...dont plant in strait lines. when id grow outside i always planted three different spots of 50 plants. that way when some dickhead found em or an animal ate some or the feds found a spot id have the backup spots.....do not waste the time growing 1 or 2 plants outside...because so much shit can happen outside broken plants and animals and shit that the chances of you planting 2 and ending up with 2 girls alone is very slim, you dont want to put in so much effort to have em get diseased and die or break and die or an animal eats em. youll be bummed if that happens. and what happens if you grow 2 and they do awsome all the way to flower 4 months later when you find out they are both males....plant at least 20. if the problem is you cant afford seeds i could probably help ya out man. i had a plant i bred super skunk....and im really done growing the ss because i already grew 20 so im moving onto the strains.....good luck bro.
