10 plants atleast 8 ft. apart from each other. don't plant in straight lines and don't leave trash

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.

yes sometimes it is a good idea to have lots of plants close together in one spot, but if they get jacked up then you still got more plants elsewhere

Yea. What do you guys think about having having 15 plants in pots and like 30 in the soil. I dont have the proper soil so Im buying alot of topsoil take it over there then mix it in the holes Ive already dug. Most or all the ones in pots will have better quality soil cause it wont take as much and I want some smaller plants too.

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.

I'd have to agree with Dutch, 3 or 5 plants will just get ripped up and burned but if they find a huge grow of 30 to 50 plants in one spot then they will most likely set up surveillance. I used to buy from this guy who's friend was doing a large grow on his neighbor's property and when the cops found it they got permission from the land owner to put up surveillance then they caught the guy and his friend when he went to check up on the plants....just my two cents

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........

and the more u plant the more someone can walk up on to either rip or narc ur ass out on.

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."

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.

or if your REALLY lucky you could be the only one growing in the area and get busted because the flir units sense your little 5 plants heat signatures.

its a coin toss either way really.

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.

im speaking from a have seen it manner, although you are right they usually go by sight.
my cousin in law had a bunch of plants well hidden in an up grown field, next to small bushes that looked similar and such.
Long story short they didnt find that many plants the year b4 so they decided to buy a thermal scope that year
knock knock on my cousin in laws door since his was the closest house to the field......

and of course he denied it and they believed him.
dumb asses almost set the field on fire burning them. (what idiot burns things while they are laying in half dry straw????)

but again they only found them because he had a bunch in one little area of not even 2 acres.

the cops should spend more time fighting real crime and less or none trying to find are plants. I live in Michigan and we have coast guard because of the great lakes and what not and they are the fuckers flying their choppers all over the whole state looking for pot. Just think of how much the fuel costs to fly over thousands upon thousands of miles every year!! our government has so much tax money they can just burn it on this stupid shit instead of putting it to use...pisses me off
