Wet spots!

Wet spots!

Out here in Cali, they look for wet spots. Wet spot (irrigated plants) are cooler than the surrounding dry dirt. They look for cool (wet) spots with flir. They fly over dry hillsides & valley's that haven't had any rain & look for wet spots, that shouldn't be wet. Scarry sh*t!

Here's a video of how they use it to find irrigation leaks in vinyards

When my husband was working in an area known for growing outdoor, he worked with a guy that did flights and the guy said "I don't know why they don't grow it like shade tobacco."

So enlighten us what is shade tobacco?

 

[BigDawg]

it's grown in rows. Think he is implying if you grow it in rows the cops will think its a normal row crop

 

[Strainhunter]

All right he found out what it was.

Absolutely nothing pot related, not even remotely.

How'd he find out?

And if I was able to PM you regarding my question earlier, I totally would lol.

Someone "up there" who's in charge of areal "stuff" told him.

And regarding your question...I did reply...to me growing in Florida was WELL worth $$$ the tougher state regulations!
I would not have done it elsewhere.

Not saying you won't get the same elsewhere...but it worked for me real well for the time being.

So does anyone have an EDUCATED idea what they might have been looking for after dark NOT using a spotlight?


.

Im sure what they were looking for was a justification of spending the last of this years fiscal budget.

Training for new recruits

A joy ride for some of their buddies

Beta testing of new technologies afforded to them that they plan to add as a line item to their upcoming budget.

 

[FreezerBoy]

I say it was ManBearPig. The new recruits thing is an obvious scam.



Picture fuzzy as that has to be real.

Shade tobacco is tobacco grown under some kind mechanism that provides shade. I don't know exactly, b/c we grow pot and not tobacco, but I am assuming whatever you put there that provides shade would fool with the FLIR finding that special color of green that means a pot farm is there. Considering that this was near a mountainous region known for growing lots of outdoor and for being kind of a hillbilly area, I'm surprised they weren't aware of how to do this, too. I bet they grow tobacco, too.

 

[Maj.PotHead]

Actually *know*?

No one, hence the speculation aspect.

But maybe have an idea what it all could have been about.

FLIR @ night just doesn't make sense.

searching for indoor grows and possible outdoor plots but i would bet indoors. where i live they fly patterns over the city every spring and fall, heck our city is a training ground for unmaned drones flyn in the air day n night
