If i choose what i put outside for matching with the local plants, i cant choose what i want. If i put something lime green it'll show up like a light.

Is it ever done that someone mixes up a batch of water with food color & dose fanleaves with a spray bottle? i live in a desert there's LONG periods no rain.

I havent outdoored before since i was a kid and then i was in a much more green geography: it was no problem to hide a plant.

Where i'd grow outside i'll be putting the plants in areas with cedar trees & sagebrush; waterings will be few & far between by necessity of distance & also the desert will develop walked down tracks; i can go around that by doing just THAT: come in few times and from diff directs, etc.

Hole to have some coco in it and beads at bottom; to eliminate different dirt color i guess i'll be using an L shaped pipe to pour water down into the bottom of the hole.

Hoping to keep the watering trips way down; once a month would be great.

When i visit each time i was thinking about dosing whatever on the plant seems to be really standing out from a distance (it's a hardcore hiker area -binoculars and sharp eyed naturalist types - hunters, etc) with a mixture of some food coloring in water.

How bad would it have to be to start impacting plant foodmaking? I'm don't have any plan to hit any buds, and really it's just an idea for lowering the profile "S.o.m.e."

Thoughts, first/second-hand knowledge from having read about people doing it, etc?

thanks ahead of time i'm all the time experimenting with new stuff & though i'd run it by outdoor growers/experimenters.

Last year I had some plants in an area that me and my brother fish at. The plants were huge, around mid Sept. I walked with my brother literally within a few feet of them. He had no clue they were even there. He was pretty surprised when I pointed them out. These were 10 ft.+ tall poison afghans too. They blended in perfectly with the local scrub/tree's.

You almost have to be trying to see MJ plants. Nature has already given them a great color. I've also watched a hunter pass by a few plants, and he never even blinked.

Well, as far as the color i was thinking that it'd be an attempt to match the green of the cedars if i get plants that lime up. The ground, i expect to look like this:

What i expected to be faced with is matching the color of the local trees. The area is a little more sparse than the photo shows in general so i could have some great sun but it's also a place where there are quite a few hikers and if something's color is WAY out there it could be a problem.

It was just an idea hence the theories section posting.

I guess there are 4 major colors you can buy in food color i dunno. 'browning down' or darkening the plants some came to mind according to the actual colors on the ground when i get there. I'm moving there and this photo isn't the actual place, but a place that looks just like it, about 70 miles away. I'm moving there, for work.

An example is from the middle of the green band, to the far right green block in your little color palette above

I'm sure I posted my camo trik for plants somewheres.
I got to the dollar store and buy red balls or something small and red that you attach to the plants (simulates raspberry bush) or you can buy Pink small roses.....or White ones.

At the end I always use Pine Combs.......at the end mine look like X-Mas trees anyways...... I go with flow!

So sad PG for alas it won't work for me. The place is a high desert area of nothing but some cedar trees, although, i have to tell ya i have every intention of doing just what you said, if we can throw together an in-yard, or greenhouse grow.

thanks for the suggestion.
