I’m a 65-year-old first-time grower. This year I had five plants that did well in my backyard. My concern is this: From the air, how can plants be detected by a plane or helicopter?
Dear Smoke,
Your level of fear should depend on your location, as some law enforcement juris-dictions spend much more time doing flyovers than others. Suffice it to say that if there’s a ton of marijuana-growing activity in your region, there will be some surveillance as well.
Having said that, it would be pretty tough to spot five plants, and most aerial surveillance is typically looking for larger, more blatant plots. You can always use opaque greenhouse material that allows light to pass through to create a shelter for your plants (and a barrier for prying eyes from above), or you can even purchase a small greenhouse for the yard.
