As we all know this can be one of the riskiest times associated with growing. I was wondering...is it feasible to vaccuum seal the plants on site (outdoor) and then transplant them to final location?
This would elimiate the odor threat except for dogs obviously.
Thoughts?
I use to use dry bags (the kind for boating). If water cant get in it stands to reason that air (odor) can't get out.
peace ccf
Uh, your plants would be extremely stressed from being crushed and suffocated and would probably die. Young plants probably wouldn't smell much, and as long as you're careful, you should be fine with them in a cooler or a paper bag or something.
I think you misunderstood. There talking about moving the harvested buds from the grow site to wherever. But I could be wrong, those couple of bowls from earlier may have caught up with me! :rastasmoke:Quote:

Unless you clean the outside of the sealed cans with a cannbanoid solvent drug dogs will still be able to smell it, any residue will shout "here I am" to the dogs.
Careful friend.
I think the misunderstanding came from my misuse of the word transplant intead of transport. I was very high when i wrote thast on some very good bubblehash.Quote:

Im not worried about dogs just want to be careful and take precautions if im pulled over ect. I dont want to drive a few hours in a reaking skunk mobile.
Luckily unlike in "the land of the free lol" we dont have to worry about cops with drug dogs and/or having our lives completly ruined over some pot. That being said I do not want to get caught with a car full of weed.
Listen to CCF. He's got this shit down to a science.
Dry bags are available at walmart- big ones, too!
IF you have a kayak, just toss it on the car, fill your dry bag, and stuff the dry bag in the boat. Stealth skill acquired! +2000points!! =p
Haha, yeah, I was picking up on the word "transplant"... transplanting a plant after vacuum sealing it, nice.
Still, a lot of materials will allow air to pass but not water, so I'm not sure about those dry bags. For instance, tyvek, and water-resistant fabric both allow air to go through it while keeping water out, and if you use a bag made of that stuff, it might end up being less effective than just garbage bags.
I'd love to have a garbage bag full of nice buds! Not to transport it though. LOL

Lol stinky, I love it :-p. Somewhere around here amidst all your posts and advice is the Jason Bourne Guide to Stealth and Guerilla Growing... :smokin: You are seriously an herbal ninja :thumbsup:.Quote:

TIP: generously sprinkle fresh coffee grounds (fresher, the better) around the car trunk, bags, whatever, it will hide the smell ... (old trucker's trick, we do that when you get somethin' really funky, stinking up the trailers) ... never found any stink it wouldn't remove, including fresh bags of hops ... :smokin:
Fresh coffee grounds, or freshly used coffee grounds?
Although one can never be too careful, I would just fill the bags, put them in the trunck, and be sure to follow ALL the rules of the road. If "the man" wants to bust you they will. To me it's a matter of avoiding any contact w/ LE.
WARNING!: A word of warning to anyone who lives near the Canadian or Mexican border in the US. You will find that the INS and Border Protection dogs are trained to hit on coffee grounds and the scent of coffee. I know this to be true to the Mexican border, at least, and suspect similar circumstances along the north. It is especially bad in California and Texas. A close relative is a retired LEO and he has also confirmed that the state he lived in trained its state police dogs to hit on coffee (border state). This probably only applies to a minority of people, but just a heads up. They do this because it is well known that many substances are smuggled across the border or through customs in coffee. I know someone is going to say "thats BS," but I have seen it happen and had it confirmed several times by LEOs.Quote:

Also, Penut Butter works extremely well in transporting small amounts (put bud in small bag, scoop out an area in a large penut butter container, put bag in, cover with penut butter scooped out). I have seen bud get from point A, to point B, to point C via the USPS this way! I just love the fact that I know the government postal service has trafficked stuff :thumbsup:.
