cool thread
what I have read at other grow forum sites is this. Chopper or plane flyovers in the fall happen only in those areas popular to outdoor growing. There are high technology ways to detect marijuana but they cost a fortune and from what I can gather are primarily used in drug interdiction efforts in foriegn countries. The tried and true method that the police use in the United States to find outdoor weed are spotters looking for its distinctive color and christmas tree shape. Not many plants are that bright bright green of marijuana, expecially late in the season. Trained eyeballs is still the best technolgy for finding small grows. The NORMAL site has a list of outdoor marijuana grow busts per state, I think its like five years out of date, but it kind of confirms what I'm saying about the police only doing flyovers in certain areas. There were 7000 outdoor busts in Tennessee and only 29 in Iowa. Any of you hiilbillys want to move?i
