so am sitting chillin bong in hand (5 min ago)...low flying chopper flys over the area where am staying..went over my place and kept going for a few miles, started hovering then turned back, flew back towards me (not over my place thought), went a few miles in the other direction and started hovering again b4 going out of sight miles away?????????????

now this has me thinking,,,,flying pigs yall ??...........my lights are off at the moment, am i right in thinking no flying pigs could tell anything was up there as there are not lights on? (heat).... my plant numbers are not high (6 in flower/ 10 in veg), so if things did go tits up am pritty sure i will be fine...(i grow for me & wife).......more worried about loseing my job/my kids dad been know as the ganja grower ect ect lol

what do you think should i chop ore should i chill?....

I'd say relax for the time being bro,

Went through the same crap last summer when the police chopper was hovering over the house.
Damm thing was 3-400 feet above the plants in my garden, flew off and returned a few times.

Made a few calls and it turned out it was looking for some guys who had held up the post office.
Only reason i did'nt chop them straight away was that i've never known the police over here to use helicopters to search for grows, might be a bit different over there tho.

I have a police helicopter fly over my house a couple times a day, worried me at first but they cant see shit, unless you are running a couple thousand watts, i figure if they are looking into a house then you probably wont know it, they arent going to fly low and go past your house, they we go slow so they can check it out, i wouldn't worry.

I had a squadron of Army Blackhawk helicopters fly across my house the other day. I was standing outside with my mom and we both had a laugh.

"Oh shit, here they come to get me!" :hide:

The only way a chopper would get you is if they had a flir camera, and since you didnt even have lights on how could they spot you? Dont worrie man, you'll be fine! In any case i would plant more since they now have been in your area anyway :p

Might be no harm to keep the eyes peeled over the next few days Highlander.
On the plus side it's these little scares that stops us becoming too complacent.

To infrared a 1k lamp could be almost anything. Could be a furnace or a smokeless fireplace. or the damn thing might not even spot it at all depending on the location.
