I like to plant amongst buckthorn. It stays green later into the season than many other plants around here and people avoid buckthorn pretty seriously.

I have grown outdoors and the best plants I have found to hide pot plants are plants that have the same shade of green as the marijuana

I usually make a flower garden with bamboo in the back and giant multicolored Zinnias in front planted in a patch (not in rows) with the pot plants mixed in. The Zinnias and bamboo and marijuana all blend together. If the front I plant Marigolds to help repel the bugs.

The flowers help draw the eye away from the foliage of the marijuana.

I agree that you should never try to hide marijuana by planting it among plants with similarly shaped leaves.

I have had friends that grow come to my house and admire the flowers but not see the pot plants from 8 to 10 feet away.

I agree... for a successful hide, the similary have to be in similarly coloured leaves

Razzledazzle....too much for the eye to take in:

Its a matter of smoke and mirrors, If your going to use this method in the backyard you also plant some of the decoy plants in the front yard where they can be inspected easily with no real snooping. Its the old bait and switch. Lots of decoys interplanted with the real deal

Really great thread. I like all the stealth ideas presented here.


I'm interested if anyone has more info on their experience with the security plants though, e.g. the ones that are going to cause enough pain and suffering getting through them that people lose interest in trying to rob you.

Just pulled a couple of males and noticed that my Kentucky Wonder pole beans had used one of my fems to climb up. The stalk of that plant is pretty much dripping with green beans in all stages of ripeness. Color match isn't bad either.

I feel like if I came upon a large bush with beans dripping off it in a vegetable patch, and I wasn't actively looking for C. sativa, I might just think "hmm, big bean plant" and ignore it. Might try doing this on purpose in future.

I like that one.

here is used a 2 step pattern. first a large stand of something or a permitted of something nasty is used, like bramble. somethign people wont want to walk into, thorns are great. But it must be solid to stop visibility to inside the perimeter where plants are. Also little tunnels underneath are easily thought of as animal trails. That takes care of people on foot, then need somethign form air. good match wit those new temperature guns they have i think good. but here use things like castor bean or manioc because this will look similar leaf from above. but castor is very fat webbed leaf unlike cannabis.

Planting in wet area (swampy/marsh) is good as can build up good soil and let roots go down for moisture, means only 3-5 trips from transplant to harvest which is good in risky areas.
