Big problem

[Roadblock]

I got done a few yrs ago by a chopper , I was home at the time and it was close , did a circle right over the crop ( 11 big plants) the house was vibrating , they turned and sped of .

On the news that night apparently a big car chase and robbery went on in Geelong and 3 choppers were involved and I was hoping that they didnt see the plants , silly me

So I took a gamble and harvested the plants early and left just the bottom end still in , 3 weeks latter I was raided , and at the cop shop I saw photos of the crop , looked like an oasis on a clay pan .

 

Moral is , you have time if a chopper is on to you before they are knocking on the door , and they need to be very close with small crops , just convert what detail you can see at 100 yds along the road and thats what detail they can see from a 100yds up , when they circled my place they were like 50 to 60 yds high that's all , most choppers that fly over are way to high probably 300 yds or more .

What sort of grow setup did you have Roadblock? i've grown having plants all together in one area (between hedges and shit) and also guerilla style, all over the shop under plants and things, which is less visible or is it much the muchness?

 

When I went over our district in a plane I looked out to see if I could see any crops but couldn't, then again I wasn't driving and I didnt' have unlimited time to go low and have a good look but tree coverage doesn't cover much at all.

Hi

 

My plants were in a compound amongst horse stables , not a very good idea they stood out like dogs balls , this was 16 yrs ago , Ive learned a lot since then

This might be bullshit but I remember hearing that the drug cops in America have a camera which picks out 'Marijuana Green' from the surrounding foliage. Almost all plants have a slightly different colour the story went. I can't remember who told me this and he might have been blowing smoke up my ass. Wouldn't worry too much though. Ozzy police probably can't afford that kind of high tech. I've seen the council surveillance cameras used in Brisbane and they are cheap as chips. I was told there is a plant with the same shade of green as Ganja. It might have been Lantana. Fucked if I can remember now. Anyways this just sprang to mind and seemed relevant. Shoot it down if its nonsense which it probably is. I fucking hope it is. I'd like to start my own outdoor grow some day and dont want to be watching the sky for whirlybirds.

weeelllll, it aint quite nonsense. the septics do use some modern techniques to find crops etc, infra-red is the main one for open areas or in scrub. what happens is the pot puts out way more heat than mature trees and slow growing scrub plants, most vigorous annuals do you see...if a forest starts developing these areas in large quantity(mass), chances are you`ve got a crop in there. fairly simple but effective...

Those seppos are clever cunts. Too clever by half. They must be hotter because they grow faster. A metabolism thing. Christ! How sensitive a camera is that? You drop it and there goes 10 years wages I reckon. There has to be a way to stuff them up. Hops plants grow quite vigorously. Maybe a hops plantation would make a good concealment area.

Bringing this back from the dead , just wondering if helicopter survalence is still used in QLD, especially with the cost of fuel these days?

Actually, i remember hearing maby a year or so ago about qld police complaining about not having their own chopper, anyone can confirm? Either way, i spose they could charter one.

I'm pretty sure they don't have their own chopper.
