is this true?

Sup guys. Not sure if this should be in growing or legal lol but anyways... A friend of mine told me that if you grow outside helicopters use like heat sensors or somethin and they can see ur plants. He said the plants retain heat and are visible. Is this, in fact, true?

yes, the bigger the more visible

If that was true then all plants would also retain heat. Their is no special metabolism in cannabis that raises its heat any higher than ambient temps. Test it yourself; stick a thermometer into the plants rectum and see if there is any difference with air temp.

What the choppers look for in outdoor grows is the color and how it doesn't blend well with environment, in most cases. The FLIR they use is for locating heat sources, like heat escaping from a grow room. But most states, if not all require other evidence before issuing a search warrant.

It does, i forget where in the middle east, some enemy baracaded themselves behind walls of marijuana plants, we could not run through them, or see through them with infrared because the heat signature was to strong it shielded what ever was behind it. Im not sure how exactly it works amongst plants but it does happen. now how much u need to activate this, i would assume a shit load. you would need dense amounts of plants and massive trees of plants. its not that it doesnt happen with other plants, its just they need to grow close together and bushy/dense. anything will retain heat at that point.

some of you are very misinformed. the infrared that police use to look for grow ops is used to detect hotspots created by the HID lighting used to grow weed, not the plants themselves. cannabis plants dont give off anymore heat than any other variety of plant.

If leaves/buds are packed together TIGHTLY they will generate heat. A friend used to bring me some in a hollowed out cooler (the insulation was removed and replaced). During the trip enough heat was generted to melt the ice and spoil sandwiches. However growing plants do not generate heat.

non living objects dont generate heat. maybe your ice melted because your friend removed the insulation?

If you're paranoid about that, set up a HUGE indoor grow of legal plants and shrubs. Then if the flying pigs see your heat signature and try to bust you, they'll be pretty embarrassed to break down your door and find a lot of sage plants.

Once they leave, start growing weed. They'll never bother you again.

lmao to that!!

lol i actuall have a half dimantled grow cabinet as i decided not to do another one after my first one lol, might chuck some legal palnts in htere lol
