Backyard stealth

[Flamin’Falcon]

Hi all. Hope you’ve been well

I recently moved to a new place in suburbia.
I’ve picked out a pretty decent spot but just a bit suss on the neighbours .
Just looking for ideas and methods on how people hide their plants in the suburban environment

All the best

Could possibly get away with growing australian bastard cannabis or freakshow cross but come flower its still gonna smell like weed.

Maybe show some interest in growing other plants instead of just weed, not meaning that in a bad way but you can grow vegetables along with some flowers to make the place look nicer.

It would look way better than just having a dope plant sitting by itself in some corner of the yard.
Companion planting will help blend it all in.

As @John Hall pointed out about his Ortega (northern lights #1 × northern lights #5), its a very squat plant with a mild smell of berries which can only be detected when you're up against it, you'd be able to get away growing it if you threw some other plants around it

This is the only reason I don't do outdoors anymore. The smell can be smelt from out the front of the street while the plants are at the back of a reasonably large suburban block

Cheers boys. Yeah the smell is hard to hide for sure. As much as I love the concept I haven’t really thought of growing a Mongy weed cross , I’ve been out of the scene for a while. Have the crosses got any THC in them these days? The place is pretty well planted out. But just trying to work out the best screening guess. I was thinking of using boganvillia to screen the area. But maybe just throw up some shade cloth.

Chuck some photos up so we can see what your working with?

I rekon go for it, just do one or two plants, put them out later in the season keep them smaller so you don’t stink the place out.

 

[Gazza]

Always grow in some pots too, can move them around, if you get shot wether can keep them out of the rain.

Grow other smelly plants helps alot
Plenty to choose from and very rewarding to grow

Or easy stuff can literally get cuttings from anywhere like rosemary or mint oregano thyme sage and bonus ya will never have to buy spices again
Probably heaps more that I can't think of but just as fun to grow as cannabis

Thanks for the suggestions. It’s a pita living in these close quarters, I’ve never really had to worry about neighbours before. I think a couple of my neighbours are probably stoners, but a couple are crack heads which is a concern.

I’ll definitly plant out some smelly stuff. Good advice thanks. Just gotta work out the screen.
