My plants are getting pretty big now and they are in sight of the neighbors because Im an outside grower. So I was wondering what could I cover them up with where I could still water them and they would still get sunlight without the neighbors noticing I have weed in the backyard?

Howdy!
You could stick some plastic flowers on your plants to make em look less like pot. Maybe a privacy fence? Plant some shrubbery around them to hide the view. I don't know of anything other than a tarp, one of those large plastic sheets, usually blue. But that would block out the light. You could also trim the leaves so they're not the obvious 5 or 7 bladed.

Ya also have your been pruning in any way such as toping for example or has it grown wildly into its regular shape Its probably to big to top but a note for the future

hey there. we have heard of people using camouflage plants to hide a crop inside a greenhouse. They had guests ooh and ahh at the plants, not realizing behind the screen was dope. The screening plants were Aralia and lone star hibiscus. They are tropical, so require warm weather. They look so much like the real deal, I'm surprised more innocent people don't get raided by the black mask adrenaline junkies.

If it's not too late, try tying them down to form an upside down U. If they're too developed they may break if you're too rough, so be careful. If they are pliable enough you could pull them down in increments of inches at a time. Topping them when they've gotten "older" will slow down your harvest quite a bit.
Good luck

good idear, bong. If the stems need to be more pliable and you are far enough from flowering to not screw the bloom up, reduce pottasium (if you feed) to make for a less brittle and woody stalk.

Thiswill work without breaking the plant as long as a bit of downward pressure is applied to the top of the bend as its pulled over. You must keep the "upside down U" stem rounded, IOW

Hope this is clear

An old man in Nepal,Pokhara to be exact.
Took me to his home to show me "His" plant.

When i arrived at his mud brick home i entered what looked like a courtyard inside.
He smiled and waved his arms about excitedly !!!

I looked around everywhere and could see nothing.
I said "where is your marijuana ?"
In crappy Nepalese.
He grabbed me and walked me 5 paces to the wall.

It was only then i realised he had 5-6 plants encircling
his whole coutyard, in a vine like fashion.
I must have been looking at 10-12pounds of weed

They were the craziest plants i have ever seen.
He then proceeded to tear off massive handfull`s
Giving them to me.
I told him not to trash his plants.

I left his house with my T-shirt used as a bag.
stuffed with well over a pound.

I of course did not want to offend the man.

You can litterally stand on top of weed and not know its there.
I love Hillbillies "stuff flowers in thar" LoL
that would seriously work
good luck

I wanted to add the the twisting of the hurd(stems outer wall), as done by some gorwers to increase bud size (who know if it works) also lends itself perfectly to the bending into a U shape, as long as the stem your trying to bend isnt woody yet. Doing it will prevent stem snapping when bending. I can provide instructions on how to snap the hurd if anyone is interested
