sir, do you have helicoptors that run heat detectors in that area? i know alot of places they run the heat gun and look for patches of area lettiung off alot of heat and what not, thats how they busted a couple houses.

NiteTiger said:Guys, the problem here is that you're mixing the use and issues.
Cannabis, as well as every other plant on earth, has unique qualities in reflecting light and absorbing heat. As pointed out before though, that takes highly specialized equipment, and is not likely to be found searching for pot.
Forward Looking InfraRed (FLIR) detects differences in temperature and gives it as a visual representation. Those devices are used by police and have been for some time. Yes, they can be used to scan a home for the heat signature of a grow operation, which we all know.
However, they CAN ALSO be used for detecting outdoor plots. This is done not by the unique IR signature of plants, however. FLIR is used for detecting outdoor plots by heat. No, not the absorption of heat by the plant. It's much more basic than that.
It's the soil. Prepped and otherwise disturbed soil absorbs and releases heat at a different rate than natural compacted soil. Add in nutes, perlite, etc, and it doesn't even resemble native soil. It's the regularly spaced intervals of hot spots that show on the FLIR screen and indicate a potential grow spot.
It's the same way they can search an area for freshly dug graves.

Hope that clears some things up.
And SGAL, ignore the negative, come on back and post up some more pics!
bounty29 said:NiteTiger - great info, thanks. Would there be any type of material you could put on top of the plot, around the base of the plant where you disturbed soil, to disguise it to that method?
SGAL - Definitely post some more pictures, that looks like it's gonna be an amazing harvest.
