I'm concerned about light. Will your trees be too full of their own leaves and block valuable sunlight? I wonder how tall these light deficient plants would become? Plants have a tendency to stretch up and bend towards open canopy so I would have to wonder what your plants would look like as they tried to find open sunlight. Maybe the reduction in light isn't anything to concern yourself with...I'm no expert, just trying to find your solution.

Camouflage would definitely be the thing to have as well. People aren't stupid, their eyes can spot anything out of the ordinary, so if you do too much to your setup, like build a platform or something then it will only draw more attention especially if your using something like a home depot orange bucket. You already mentioned camo on the buckets though, so your thinking in the right direction.

Would it even be worth the effort in trying to do this in anything short of a forest? I mean if you had say 10 pecan trees on your land or something, I cant see you getting away with this, as there just isn't enough surrounding growth to distract the eye from your grow. This would have to be done in a highly overgrown and unused tract of land.

We have a wicked deer problem in my area so it's something I'm considering for the springtime. I've heard/read about a technique of growing your outdoor crop up in the tree canopy to avoid being found by deer, hunters, thieves, cops, wabbits, blah blah. Couple different methods mentioned... 1) 5 gallon pails just hanging from a pulley, tied off discreetly out of Rating: 5
