this is a potted ECSD seriously root bound and fading and even with all the bamboo stakes it blends in with good old nature.


one of the buds.


ECSD in ground looking much greener.


up close it looks and smells like weed.

We used to hang red Christmas ornaments on plants to make them look different back in the day when it was illegal in California . Chopper flew by a few hundred plants spaced out over 40 acres a few times . So maybe just camouflaging your plants will work

Mexican Marigold, Tagetes minuta: This species of marigold grows very large and does not flower until early fall, maintaining its resemblance through the summer months. Like other marigolds, the leaves are somewhat fragrant and repel many pests including whiteflies, many caterpillars, and even rabbits!




If you are looking for something to mask the smell, try Devil's Claw (Proboscidea parvifolia). The plants are easy to grow from seed, are very drought resistant, have no pest or disease problems, and can be grown in wet or dry climates. Its only requirement is to be grown in a mostly sunny spot. They bloom from mid summer through early fall, and are intensely fragrant, with a smell that is rather unpleasant, something like smelly gym socks. The fragrance will discourage passers by and mask the smell of even the most fragrant weed strains. As a bonus, the young seedpods are edible as an okra substitute, and the dry seedpods have many uses.

Monster blackberries can be both a shade cloth and a camouflage.


If I was in a suburban setting, I would use a variety of plants.

E.g. eggplant has a branch structure sort of like Cannabis. With big eggplants hanging off it sort of draws the eye.

Also there is a '3 sisters' thing in gardening, I think it's an American Indian thing. Beans Squash Corn. I know beans and corn can get big enough to offer shade etc.

False Hemp is great for Sativas..

for ground level visual screening, possibly grow a crop of hops. Put up a perimeter of 15 to 20 foot hops plants, three to four deep. short of a fly over, nobody is going to see a thing there. even with a fly over, the plants may mix in well especially if spread out in the inner area of the hops field. just have to be careful not to shade them with the hops. apparantly planting and growing hops is a lot of work though. but the craft brewers in your area will love you

blackberry/hops is best combo let the hops grow on top of your bBerry bushes and it will be a wall of green until october.
always using a cover crop under OD plants too.

I know it's already been mentioned but Marigold is a great Plant to hide cannabis between, aswell it repels pests.

From the air, reflectance spectrum of pot is very distinctive and unique to all but one plant. Soybean! So if you're going corn, back off and place it on the edge of a soy field with trees as your backstop. Another bonus is that you don't have to worry about a silage harvest and loose your grow. They harvest soybean as a seed crop, and usually last (before the snow flies).

It's the Reflectance Spectrum they're looking at. Not heat.

I wouldn't grow in or around or even near plants that look like cannabis. That's basically going to draw more attention and not detract.

I'm still sticking with autumn olive. They grow tall and wide, fast over the years. Have two inch thorns that keep people and critters out. Thick foliage that grows thick to the ground, to cover from top to bottom. Also a dark shiny leaf that is light green on the bottom and the color patterns cover cannabis a bit better. They also put N in the ground, supposedly.

Plus the berry is the highest natural source of lycopene. As well as fiber. They look like poison so it also keeps dumb dumbs away.
