Does the government fly planes around looking for plants in backyards or is that just a myth. Just seen a military plane flying low over the suburbs.

id put that in the myth category. if they were just looking around theyd use choppers - planes would be dumb as they only fly in big straight lines. would work for a tip off though. even then it wouldnt be military - those things cost a bomb just to take off and taxpayers would have a shit.

I reckon they would only go and check out stuff based on a tip-off and it wouldn't be worth it for a couple backyard plants - a big crop is a different story.

You'd better burn everything to the ground to be safe though

Alright got it, shooting the plane down and burning the house and backyard down seems to be my best bet.

Or make a sign on your roof saying NO MARIJUANA GROWN ON THE PREMISES that usually works

Helicopters and planes don't fly low looking for plants in backyards.
If yes in a town of under 20k ppl u would only have to worry bout ops where city cops bring dogs down for detection training (yes it does happen).
If laws change regarding privacy etc we may see drones fly suburbs but I actually doubt this one for privacy laws.
If your in a city you got more chance of a drug once a year doing flyover photographing hot spots for indoor growers.
I'm speaking for rural city's when I say the best weapon cops have is ppl sobbing in ppl its as simple as that.
Fuck u should see everything in my town panic when a chopper is doing its once in 2 yrs electricity lines checks....
Funny if it wasnt a bit serious

A plane goes to fast and is normally to high not to mention fkn expensive to use.

Even pot scouting helicopters are becoming rare. We don't have them down here anymore. Again, they are expensive to use for a few plants. They probably only use them these days in the more known rural growing areas, North and North West NSW for eg where they can get some headline busts.

finally re calibrated my pH pen. I've been feeding the hempy c99s around .3 or so too low for the last couple of weeks but the plants look pretty good. first set of true leaves went a bit crispy from the initial move while they were finding the rez but charging and looking healthy now. Transplanted 2 northern lights x skywalker OGs to mini hempys yesterday. they were old beans and I had to scuff one of them to get it open but apart from looking rough as fuck from fighting their way out of the shell they look tip-top after 1 day in a hempy cup. couple PK x Malawi (wherethefuckarewe) are in cups plus a shitty auto too. 2 beans every 2 weeks, boys go outside until ready for pollen. I have lots of old seeds to get through - too many good ones to let them go bad and I want to do a few seed runs. I'm going to be fucking overrun with about 20 plants of varying sizes soon

and drones..
I was at the pub, I think it was flower season last year, and a couple of guys were talking about a drone and GPS mapping they were using. Send em up the drone I think does its own thing and just flys a pre programmed gps patten. while they have a fish. Go back home and view the video. if they find anything worth looking into they have the GPS coordinates on the screen.
Rippers doing this can cover huge ground.

My main worry at my old outdoor patch was the local helicopter bunch doing rural farm work.
