what is the most plants at one place you would recomend? proving nothing around to really worry about except.... those pesky copters.
id take heed in the advice here. some places give mandatory minimum sentances for a certian # of plants. where you may have gotten off on a lesser charge with less........I did 60 in one spot then 40 in another last year......The more the better its just more work and they catch you with 5 plants or 20 plants your still gonna be fucked. If they cant find 5 plants from the air they wont find 15 or 20 in the same spot. If your growing alot in one spot dont use bags just break up the ground and add richer soil and such all those bags reflect and they will look right at it from the air it willl look like black glitter on the ground.
Exactly. It's like the sergeant says in "Saving Private Ryan", just before they hit the beach - "Don't bunch up. 5 or 6 guys all bunched up together - juicy target. One guy by himself - waste of ammo."In my humble opinion, If the cops find 3-5 plants they will rip 'em up and move on. If they find 20 plants or more they might take the time to set up surveillance as it would be worth the man power and time to get a headline making bust.

You've got to play the percentages. Make yourself as small a target as possible, and they'll pass you right by looking for the bigger targets - the guy who's growing 40 or 50 all in one spot. Cops think the same way we do... we're always looking for bigger yields, they're always looking for bigger busts. Offer them the chance to make a misdemeanor bust, they're probably not going to want to waste the time doing the stakeout and the paperwork. Offer them the chance to make a front-page felony bust, and you're toast.
im speaking from a have seen it manner, although you are right they usually go by sight.I'm not too worried about the heatseeking choppers. I think a lot of that's just hype that Leo perpetuates to discourage people from growing. There's an area that I used to grow in that I gave up on a few years ago because so many other people started growing in that general area, I was worried it would attract too much attention from the law. The last year I was there, I would often see choppers flying right over areas that I knew had patches of 8 to 12 plants growing, and the next week the plants were still there. I could see them with my binoculars as I paddled past them in my canoe, in a stream about a hundred yards away from them.
Helicopters were flying all over that whole area all through the months of August and September, and I never heard of one bust - and I know damned well there were at least 3 or 4 other growers in that 2- or 3-square mile section. I never met any of the other guys, but I knew who some of them were from mutual friends who knew the general area I grew in and wanted to warn me that there were others growing there. These friends told me none of their buddies had been busted or had any plants ripped up that year. There had to be well over 100 plants growing in that area that summer, and Leo apparently didn't find a single one. I'm not saying I don't take choppers seriously, because I'd have to be an idiot not to - I'm just saying, I don't live in fear of them. I think that even with all their fancy hardware, they rely a lot more on luck than they do the million-dollar electronics.
