You don't say how far away your neighbors are, but in all likelihood - yes.

throw some Moth Balls on the property line and around the yard. that will help with the smell and keep some of the small animals way.

If the wind is blowing in their direction then yes they will. Don't think you can get away with it either. You will put in months of work by the time they start to smell, by then its too late to move them.

a little bit of both. im not sure what other people have experienced, but all ive seen in person is mid seed growing and I couldn't even smell that until I was about 5-10 feet away. It totally depends on genetics tho. Growin purp? Yes they will smell. Skunk, you bet. Middies? Maybe not? If it's mixed in with other veggies then it might be doable. You can always LST if it gets too big.

I would recommed keeping it short and plant a lot of flowers, rosemary, ect around it to mask the smell. Still a risk though as cannabis is much more potent smelling than other plants

how bout lst that fucker to grow all across the ground, in zig zag formation till it covers like a 5x5 square then top it so it stops growing outward and it would be just inches from the ground and then put a netting around it or something. Would this work?

It is still going to smell. Especially if its that big it will hopefully be really strong. I can typically get a good whiff of a blooming outdoor plant at around 30 feet away on a warm day without a breeze.

Had a similar plan and acquired strains I thought would be stealthy (short) and low odor. Northern Lights and ICExGrapefruit. Was planning only 4 plants hidden throughout the yard in large pots, behind strategically pruned bushes/etc (50'x175' yard). We're vigorous gardeners otherwise, so the odor is the only concern.
When I used to grow indoors years ago (took a hiatus), certain strains were smelly as hell, but others, like Mango, were not smelly at all...even indoors without any kind of smell control other than a closed door. Seemed from my recollection that this low volume outdoor plan would work.
Is the consensus that, even with the "low odor" strains, these will be too smelly to try this? Don't know that neighbors would turn me in, but don't want to have to make that choice.

I am more afraid of my neighbors stealing from me than I am them turning me in.
