I was driving around the other day looking for a good area to grow.i was a bit perturbed about growing in a forest as sooo many people walk there.and then it struck me.....
why not bet yourself so good strong large enough buckets and some strong wire, climb one of them trees and attach at the top. no one will ever be looking ontop of a 20 metre tree (except the police, but i could disguise it by buying green pots or covering it with a few branches.) now my only problem would be getting water top the plants??? we get a little rain/dew in the mornings here, do you think it will be enough? i would say it rains gentally every third day or so, with the oncoming winter. any suggestions?

Its been tried before many times... I even remember a storie about the cops coming to rip up a feild that they spoted on a fly by... but when they got there on foot they couldn't find it... untill a drop of water hit one of them... He looked up and seen a very well desquised sheet of plywood! he had a pully system to raise and lower the entire garden. So you might want to try that...

just keep in mind that up there its closer to the planes ... I get alot of flyovers where I live so I plant near roads sometimes... But the absolute best place to grow is in the center of thick brush... you know the stuff you just wouldn't want to go throught unless being chased by the cops. I got a nice batch of thorn bushes out in this forest somewhere that I could plant some at... Try to find simular plant colors and leafshapes to plant next too... Most pot is identified by either patterns (i.e. rows or bunches) or by color...

I have a friend that grows VERY successfully using the tree-top method....He owns a orchard.He does use a pulley system for watering.It's important to know, that it's private property so no one can just wander around, which reduces the chance of accidental discovery!Finding a thicket of brush has worked for me in the past.Try to leave the area as "natural" looking as possible.It's not a good idea to plant too many plants close together, in Calif. the cops also use thermal detectors as Herb gives off a higher heat signature than most other native plants!

you can gt sum clear pvc pipe and run it up close by branches...then fix like a big funnel thing so when it rains it collects rain and it runs down the pipe to your plants...you can also get 1 gallon milk jugs and paint them the color of the tree and hang them above the plant then get tubing and u can twist and bend it so it slowly drops water to your plants....good luck, happey growing!

This may be crazy but i'm going to try grafting a clone right onto a tree this year. I know its possible but i'm not at all sure what the outcome will be. I'm going to try some different types of trees too. This, of course may be some insane garbage but i'm all about experimenting. The pros of this would be incredible camouflage with lots of light and no water problems as the tree would supply the water, while the cons might include new pest problems, nutrient deficiencies and toxicities (as the tree, no doubt, needs different nutes than the herb) and of course the grafting itself. I hope i haven't lost the plot completely...

if i grow out side i like to grow on fed property so that no one goes looking on it and so if its found by the cops they cant do anything to you or anyone else

A friend of mine did that and has it planted in his front yard. It looks pretty cool. I forgot what type of tree he spliced it with.

If it were possible to find out what kind of tree that was, i'd be greatly interested. I have a feeling it will work best on fruit trees as they produce fruit around the same time as mj buds.
