No worries mate..... What you want to do is group the plant with some other shit close in color. Dig a hole and set plant down in it to lower the profile. This works with smart pots or grow bags. You can also circle some chicken wire around the plants and weave in some branches, pine straw, etc to aid in camouflage.

lol, sorry, can't help you, other than to try to keep them nice and short. They are indica's and already will be, just keep training them short. Keeping them short and pruned and streched out SCROG like, would help drastically on your yield.
When you can, move out of your parents house and move to a medical state and get your license if you qualify. Then you would have no worries like some of us here.
And yes, I am a legal patient in a legal state.
I respect what you are doing, watching out for the family, good luck.

Often, simple camouflage techniques can avert detection, such as mixing cannabis plants with other bushy, leafy species. Plants started outdoors late in the season do not grow as tall, attracting less attention when placed next to plants of similar or taller stature.
A common technique used by many outdoor growers is to dig a hole and put a potted plant in it. This can reduce a plant's height by at least a foot, reducing visibility to neighbors, visitors and guests. Also, some growers top the plant when it is only 12 inches (30 cm) high, and grow the 2 tops horizontally along a trellis. When using this technique, it is unlikely the plant will grow to be over 3 feet (1 m) tall.
Law enforcement agencies often monitor certain wider areas, particularly areas of countryside with a significant history of outdoor cannabis cultivation. In helicopters, they use infrared cameras and other equipment that can detect cannabis by measuring the heat and reflective signature of the vegetation below[citation needed]. Cannabis has higher reflectivity at certain wavelengths than other rural crops, such as corn. Law enforcement agencies have found that the use of this technology has become necessary in their detection efforts because many growers hide cannabis among other plants, making detection with the naked eye difficult even from the air. These techniques are effective and difficult to defeat because a plant's reflective signature is difficult to change or mask. It has been said[who?] that if the cannabis plant is planted by a pine or cedar tree, the heat from the tree overlaps the cannabis plant heat, making it harder to detect from helicopters.[citation needed]

I think it's important for people to manage their expectations, especially for first grows.
You get out of your plants what you put in to them.
Serapis is absolutely right. If you live in central Florida, you should have little trouble, even in a semi-urban environment, in hiding a few Indicas. Growing them along-side vegetation that is similar in color/growth would go a long way.
Your biggest enemies outdoors will be animals, people, and acts of God.
Do some exploring in your neck of the woods, and find a place that is hard for people to get to (or they wouldn't want to go to). If there is even a few hours of direct sunlight a day, and it's a place where people won't/wouldn't go, you should be fine. You just have to worry about animals and acts of God.
G'luck, and remember: necessity breeds creativity...be creative.
I don't know what your daylength down there is but it's probably too short for veging right now and will put your plants into early flowering if they aren't already, then come later on they'll revert to veging as the days get longer, so basically you can kiss a massive yield goodbye.

Some great tips are to be found in a similar thread. Link below.

No you are good to put them outdoors now. I'm not far and my plants went out last wkend.
As others have said just don't leave them in a wide open field where anyone and everyone will see them. Find a decently wooded place preferably not far from a creek or some kind of water source.
Good luck.

Well in summer the sun rises about 6:30-7:00 and sets about 9. Will helicopters detect it like. Serapis said? My plant is about 11 days old and is only like an inch tall and I have alot of light. But any extra info. Would be great and. Also why is my plant growing so slow??

A few things...
-probably not wise (if you're worried about 'copters) to be announcing you live in Polk County
-how fast are you expecting it to grow?
If you give the plant access to water, light, and it has decent drainage, it'll be fine.
This time of year, plants will grow slower because of the angle of the sun. As we get closer to summer, we're closer to the sun, so the lights more intense, and growth faster.
i'm thinking about some of the same questions, in particular how large a planted area must be to be detectable with the IR imaging
you would think a single plant might be unnoticeable, but i've been wrong before
curious on any expert testimony on just what the 'cross section' would be for reliable detection

Personally pain management, my knee is all jacked up. Had surgery about a year ago to try to correct it, but I re-injured it and it is worse than before.
I am allowed 6 plants over 12" tall, and 18 under 12" tall x 12" wide in my state. gotta see a normal Dr. at least 2 times a year, not a prob. for me, then bring your med. records to a MJ clinical Dr. to give you a recommendation. Send the appropriate forms to the state with a fee and you are good to go for a year. Repeating the cycle annually, and don't abuse the system

wish we had some sort of system like that here in canada....thought there woulda been more red tape...sorry to hear bout your knee....thanks for the reply..!
To keep low and increase yield build a box at least 5 by 5 feet square and 2 to plus ft high fill with soil at least 1 ft high. then when plants are young cover box with chicken wire. when plants begin to grow take each branch and thread through chicken wire expanding the plant apart from its self. positive include the idea of equal light regardless of tops and bottom buds meaning that bottoms buds ( become top buds) also so low to the ground allows for miss identification of plants and is harder to see by the air ect. for questions or retorts please respond. Ps can also can be done with coco husk. possitives being that it is half way hydroponic, stores water like a champ, and is reuseable. Can be also used in indoor with the same concept where when ready to harvest can be cropped by cutting everything above the chicken wire and can be returned back to a 18- 24 light for another harvest with same plant. veg same plant again and can be used 2 to 3 times be aware though of stress on plant doing this for the temptation of the plant to herme check for signs and be conscious of this issue.
