After spending many
hours planning, scouting, and preparing your outdoor
plots for the upcoming grow season, keeping your well
hidden site secure is very important if you plan on
bringing in a harvest this year.
 Shoes:
Although they may not seem to be an element in keeping
you plots secure, if for some reason your plots are
intruded upon, and busted, you could possibly be put at
risk because of your shoe size and brand.
To
prevent this from being a problem, you can tape over the
bottom of your shoes and use shoes that are either a
size or two too small or too large.
Vegetation: The
vegetation directly around your plot offers a good deal
of protection. While entering and leaving, use anything
you can to prevent a path from being made (this can
involve logs, stones, rivers, etc.). As long as you
don't make a noticeable path to your plants, you should
be fine.
Planting in areas that you would never
want to go is a good idea, because if you don't want to
go there's a big chance that rippers won't want to go
there either. Planting in a patch of stinging nettles or
pricker bushes helps a great deal to prevent any
unwanted creatures from checking out your grow . Nettles
look very similar to cannabis, and when you so much as
brush by them...you get a nice surprise (burning
sensation for approx 20 min)
Getting
there: Getting to your plot without risking your
security can be a problem.
Going during the late afternoon when people would
most likely be in the woods is a smart thing.
Park your car at an inconspicuous place with some
distance from your entry spot to the woods.
It is good to have a story ready if anyone questions
you (such as picking wild berries, bird watching, or
fishing) and use props to fit the story.
By going later in the afternoon, you can have ample
time to work, and the sun will begin to set by the time
you get back giving you the security of the blanket of
twilight.
If you need to go to your plot at
night for some reason, a flashlight with a red lens can
be very helpful. Red lenses help your eyes see better in
the dark and adjust your eyes to the setting.
Large Risk Situations: During the course
of a grow, you will mostly be watering and fertilizing
either via a local lake or stream, or possibly an
irrigation system.
There are however some big
trips that you need to take such as bringing
clones/seedlings in to be planted at the beginning of
the season, and the harvest at the very end of the
season.
Some questions to consider include: when
you plan to go, how you will bring in your seedlings and
bring out your final harvest, how you will get your
harvested plants to where you plan to dry it.
Final Note:
While in the field, ALWAYS STAY ALERT. This is a
highly risky situation. Hopefully this information will
lessen the degree of danger, and help secure your grow
sites.
