An outdoor grow of 1700 plants busted. No one caught, but one guy fled as they raided the spot. In Colfax, CA. Showed a pic of plants as far as the eye could see under larger trees. The pic was beautiful! But freakin 1700 plants! JEEBUS! Will post a link once I find coverage.

"Mexican cartel confirmed in Pueblo County pot bust"
More than 13,000 plants valued at $40 million seized
they originally estimated around 7,000 to begin with, once numbers were in, that near doubled...

Such illegal activity will become more common, (sheriff)Taylor said, if voters pass Amendment 64 to legalize marijuana this fall. He said passage of the amendment also will put the medical marijuana industry in peril.

Thats looks SO photo-chopped it isnt funny

I wonder if the those growers and mexican cartels have trim contests... like who can trim the best seed covered bud in the fastest time and who can make the biggest brick that doesnt mold.... I wonder how many people it would really take and how long to trim 1700 plants that were beauties... i cant even comprehend 16k plants...I guess my friend's grower is racking in 30g a month... which is a bit greedy if you ask me...

"Trim ??? We Don't Need No Stinking Trim !!!"

 

[powerplanter]

How do they grow such nice plants in the shade of woods. I planted a few in my woods and they only grew to about 4 inches.

 

[ozzydiodude]

Ziggy you can pull that type grow off once after a forest fire goes thru a area. I ain't saying that's the case in that pic, but I do know you can do a grow that looks similar to the pic.

 

[ziggyross]

Ozzy, I don't think I will go to that extreme in my woods. I kinda like the deer that come up to my salt block.

Just background noise, evening news on and there was another. "estimated" 3000 plants on this one. Clip it showed of the anchor standing on a ridge with the plants down behind. These ones looked big! Fully in the open, in rows like an orchard.
