Yeah. They often cover up the pot farms with camouflaged canopies. Big brother is watching. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Aug 24, 10:59
probably. there are a lot of pot farms on Govt. land in Ca. & Nv. that can only be spotted by the air -- nm - peglegpete Aug 24, 10:45 1
- I'm sure, but this is Rowland Heights. -- nm - CrankYanker Aug 24, 10:46
I saw a news show about this years ago. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 10:45 9
- I don't think I would notice it from the ground, how do they see it from the air. ;-) -- nm - CrankYanker Aug 24, 10:46 8
  - I would guess it's a distinctive shade of green? -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 10:48 5
    - This would be one factor, for sure. Also, if they have access to thermal vision, I think the pot plants have a different heat signature than others. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 24, 10:55 4
      - especially if lit. -- nm - CrankYanker Aug 24, 10:57
      - I just googled a bit (don't want to do more) and it seems some operations are in open areas, arranged in rows. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 10:57 2
        
        bizarre, I would think just the opposite. -- nm - CrankYanker Aug 24, 10:58 1
        
        I just something about this in the last week. Most of the time the plants are interspersed amongst cornstalks and from the air they can see the change - zork Aug 24, 11:08
  - they are grown in buckets mounted high in the trees -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 24, 10:48 1
    - I'm pretty certain that that method would be exceedingly rare. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 24, 10:54
