Ever since I first joined the site, when I made a thread about my outdoor scrog grow last year and you joined that one, you’ve been my role model on the site for all things outdoor. That pic right there is why. Major props. Do you think I should put another layer of fencing on my outdoor stuff before they start budding? I’m worried about what will happen during the stormy season if the colas get too tall and heavy.

Awe what a huge compliment! Thank you so much!
My thoughts are you can never have too much support! I added another layer last week and will add another one in probably 2 weeks. Better to over do it then lose branches and buds :)

Every single year here for 30 years! They are very real, knew LEO that participated. Cannabis is apparently very easily spotted from the air. They occasionally come up with something significant.

I read an article a while back about police looking for pot in helicopters. It is not as common as people think and it cost a lot of money. Unless you're doing big plots I would be worried about it personally.
I have a friend whose family owns a shop that prints big banners, and if cops in helicopters ever became an issue here I would get a huge vinyl banner printout of my grow license and paste it to my roof lol. I’m not worried about it but that seems like it would put any questions to rest.

If you're legal no worries but in prohibition states it's a real concern but I wouldn't lose sleep myself unless I had a field going.

Police helicopters looking for weed is absolutely real. 110% agree. I was in a suburban neighborhood back in the late 90s to early 2000s when growing medical weed in CA was the wild west. I have seen the ghetto bird over my house many, many times in those days. Had neighbors down the block that also had the treatment as well. We had 3 outdoor grows on one block that we knew of. They even trolled us and said "nice plants" over the loud speaker. Never had any trouble from them tho. Fast forward to 3 years ago when my buddy and I tried to grow some plants which were pretty fantastic I'd say. I drove 1 hr 3 times a week to water and give nutes. Helicopter flew over several times and bugged him out. We ripped them all out the next day. I was sooooo fucking pissed. Still pisses me off thinking about it. Never grow with other people. Lesson learned lol. I think i still have pics from that...

Some years it’s National Guard choppers and other times they hire local helicopter services. Even had pictures in the local paper of deputies with the goods and chopper on the ground. Busted 500 plant field a few years ago.
Some drought years well maintained green plants are the only green out there.

They got my brother a few years ago before it was legal. He only had about 8 small plants outside. Turns out some dude was renting a couple fields from a farmer and was growing thousands of plants. They sent up the chopper to do some surveillance and along with the big grow they also spotted dozens of other grows including my brothers. His plants were hidden too, not sure how they spotted them. Think I read somewhere they have some sort of camera that can detect heat signatures of different plants, cannabis has a much different heat signature compared to the native plants around here. Either way glad it's legal here now.

Found those outdoor pics I was talkin about. If you wanna take a look I made a thread for it in the outdoor section so I dont put a bunch of shit in here that isn't greenpoint.

That's usually how smaller growers get hit. Unknowingly growing within a few square miles of someone doing bigger stuff.

Sucks to hear though.

careful with those CBD crosses especially F2's
They may hermi into flower I didn't get anything out of my 10 pack but I have talked to a couple people who have gotten a good plant from it. CBD crosses are a little unstable and mine hermi'd mid flower and pollinated my crop
Thanks for the warning, I appreciate it!
I am pretty stoked about this supposedly yummy, high CBD variety from Greenpoint. And if the hermi'ing isn't too bad I may just make myself some nice fem seeds hehe ;)

cheers

Why do you think that is? Would it have something to do if they used hemp in the cross vs a worked strain like ac/dc or Charlotte's web?

after some research f2 can be such a large array of traits that you can get some undesirable ones more often, especially with where CBD is a newer market.
My experience with the cherry wines I grew out was they budded as normal and then I noticed around half way into flower they were laced up with male budsites in the buds I have a picture actually but it is quite blurry
it did smell very nice actually though and I was very excited!
