i cant wait to see you do this next spring, though the smell still might give away their position, but then again, maybe not. go for it!

can you give us more details.. maybe a rough sketch of your idea? Type of tree? Height? How can you securely attach your pots to the branch? wind... will it be able to get enough sunlight without branches getting in the way... sounds like you are trying to grow as stealthy as possible but it will be tough to maintain the plants while they are up there.

Honestly, I'd be more likely to see a plant in a tree than if it were on the ground.

When you are growing outdoors, you can literally have a 15 foot tall Sativa that is bend/trained and will only be a foot off of the ground. Besides, all the branches and leaves from the tree will keep your plant from getting most of the light.

well roth89 i drew this the otha day...im not actually securing the buckets to the tree but nailing or bolting a 2x4 horizontilly and hanging the buckets with a rope over it so i can raise and lower to water if its not getting enough sunlight i will just trim some of the leaves from the treetop to let sunlight in i dont think wind wood be too big of a problem either... and comatose i dont think i have to worry about ppl finding my plants everthing will be painted camo and in the middle of 1 square mile of forrest

best to forget the idea of using a 'water-holding soil' ... cannabis wont like that, you need a breathing, well-drained soil .. you could probably use those 'water-crystals or gels', I dont know ... where I live, the DEA dope-chopper would love the view you will give them, much easier for the infrared film to spot it ... :jointsmile: .. :smokin:

4 plants in 3 trees... so 12 plants 10 feet tall lol yea... but then again ur usually only at risk around california and most major cities (in the US at least)

hey man, if u feel like it go for it, but i wouldnt plan on getting much out of it. if u just wunna grow, do it the old fashion ways, same binefit - lower risk. :smokin:

i live in Rhode Island..so prolly no copters rite?? i tried ground growing last year but u noe how thieves are and there are plenty around...i found a guy that did this last year and had fantastic results hopefully i can be this lucky:rasta:
