Choosing the right plant?

[Aftop]

Hi, I'm going to grow some crop outdoors this coming season, and I'm just wondering what plant would be best? I have 100+ acres, mostly forrest at my disposle. Some small fields, but thats way too risky. What plants should I choose? I want to plant 10-15 plants, scattered out the land. Maybe 3 plants at the most in one spot to decrease the chance of them being discovered. I DONT want a plant that will be over 3-4 feet tall. I'll be planting them 1 meter apart from each other. I want plants thats easy to grow, doesnt need much attention, and a decent yield, doesnt have to be massive. 350-400g is fine. I've been researching a few different plants... Afgan, Top 44, Early Misty, Hawaii Skunk, and Low Ryder 2 (small yields). Out of those plants, what would best suit my needs? And does anybody have any feedback on any of those mentioned with yields, and outdoor height? Thanks.

I don't have experience with different strains.. all I can say is that I think it'll be difficult keeping it under 4 feet outdoors. If you practice tying them down throughout the whole grow, this won't be a problem, but that might be risky in itself.

I'm sure you'll hear from others about the strains, lots of experience 'round here.

Goodluck

ya man, do some odd pruning, and a little LST. maybe even get some fake flowers at Joann fabrics, and attatch them to different parts of the plant.
Make it look like a rose bush or something
ya dude its a great idea to only put 3 or so in a spot.

one more thing, if for some reason you have pine trees, one you can climb almost to the top in. Put a female that is in soil, and transfer it into a pre-camoflauged burlap sack with soil and tie the roots/soil up in the burlap. then stick it at the top of the tree. clear out a few branches so it gets good light...and just let it replace the top of the tree pritty much.
MJ gives off the same heat signature as Pine

and, if you have some tall females already, you can stick one at the top of the tree, and one on the top left of the tree, sticking out to the left.. and then one on the right side; sticking out to the right. i have done this. worked great. the ones on the sides just looked like branches, it filled up its spot perfectly, and u couldnt notice it.

Climbing to the top of a pine tree, once or twice per week, per plant..??
Packing a bucket of water and or nutrients... I'm far too old and fragile to attempt such a risky task.
There is much that can be done to stealth your grow..on the ground.
Any information that "I" have ever read, related to "heat signatures", suggest that MJ has a "unique" signature.

Interpretive Summary: Successful detection of outdoor illegal Cannabis cultivation with remote sensing would be of considerable help to law enforcement agencies. It is assumed that remote sensing will rely on the spectral signatures of Cannabis plant canopies as the primary indicator. The spectral reflectance of Cannabis was examined using laboratory, field and airborne measurements. Results thus far include: 1) leaf and canopy spectral reflectance of Cannabis exhibit characteristics of other green plants, 2) nadir spectral signatures do not have stable, unique absorption features suitable for a reference signature, 3) the "emerald green" (blue-green) color of Cannabis results from specular reflectance of blue sky light and small particle scattering from microscopic structures on the surface of Cannabis leaves, 4) spectral contrast between Cannabis and other plant canopies appears most significant for green, red edge and short wave infrared wavelengths, 5) spectral contrasts between Cannabis and tree species appear greater than spectral differences with other herbaceous species, 6) isolation of Cannabis canopy spectral signatures during land cover classification may be difficult using visible-near infrared systems, and 7) researchers investigating detection technologies must be kept aware of the trends of growers to conceal sites. Analysis of the essential elements of information associated with illegal Cannabis cultivation offers other possibilities for detection with remote sensing. Ultimately, remote sensing will be most effective when used with a probability-of-occurrence/Cannabis cultivation site prediction model from the Counter Drug ¿ Geographical Regional Assessment Sensor System (CD-GRASS).

from..Remote Sensing Lab..

Law enforcement agencies often monitor certain wider areas, particularly areas of countryside with a significant history of outdoor cannabis cultivation. In helicopters, they use infrared cameras and other equipment that can detect cannabis by measuring the heat and reflective signature of the vegetation below. Cannabis has higher reflectivity at certain wavelengths than other rural crops, such as corn. Law enforcement agencies have found that the use of this technology has become necessary in their detection efforts because many growers hide cannabis among other plants, making detection with the naked eye difficult even from the air. These techniques are effective and difficult to defeat because a plant's reflective signature is difficult to change or mask.

But keeping small plots, 2-4 plants per spot, will greatly reduce any chance of aerial identification. Topping, bending, ect. to eliminate the "classical" christmas tree form/shape is "IMHO" a good stealthing method.

Anybody else?

I also havnt had any experience with the named strains,although ive herd Lowryder smoke is crap.What about northern lights?.Its a pure indica,stays low,produces quality buds and is an easy to grow strain.
