They also do most of there sweeps on the southside and out towards lake T-Bird. They tend to search more at night but some during the day. This is why i was afraid of triing outside One thing that might help isto put a bucket over your plant at night with it covered in a emergency blanket as this deflects infared.. Stay safe bro and keep up the good work with your grow:thumbsup:
Dont mean to be a doosh, but some of the stuff you said is bullshit. Marijuana does not put out a thermal footprint, its hot grow lights and grow rooms theyre looking for. Thermal means heat, marijuana is just like every other plant out there so it would just blend in. They might be able to see YOU at night with a thermal camera, but not your outdoor plants.
they are looking for hot grow houses, so putting a thermal blanket over your plants would be a stupid idea. Disguise the plants with tomatoes, or other plants that blend in well. If you have a couple in your back yard i dont think the choppers are gunna get you, just dont have a field.

I LST all of my plants outside in order to keep them short and easily conceable. Your going to notice a boost in yield when you do that too.
