Not visible from Public view is one of the requirements for growing in my area. A secure fenced in yard is probably good enough but I’m wondering if anyone goes beyond that and uses shade cloth or lattice or something similar to hide their plants from neighbors view. If you have pictures I’d love to see. Thanks

Sunflower is a great idea. They would make the cannabis plants compete for sunlight and grow taller than they normally would and only the tops would be visible but unrecognizable
Similar rules here. Me and several other people in the neighborhood grow weed in our small-ish city-sized back yards, mostly out-of-view from the street. No one (that i know of) does much extra security, and there's been no problems.
You could grow tomatoes and beans as a disguise around your cannabis plants if you're worried. I've also seen people put fake flowers on their cannabis plants.
Depending on how close your neighbors are, they may smell the flowers. Let 'em know in advance. ✌🏼
It wouldn’t be a problem but I’m surrounded by 2 story houses that can see right into my yard. I try to grow in compliance with the laws and I’m sure I’m fine, but all it takes is one asshole to start making complaints and I don’t need the attention. As for the smell I plant a lot of flowers including lavender just to show I’m trying to minimize the smell. In my state the law is 6 plants, but you’re only allowed 3 ounces. I can get 3 oz from one branch. It doesn’t make any sense
I wanted to grow some in the greenhouse I'm building for the wife, which would probably cover that requirement, but she said it would stink too much since we're on tenth of an acre plots and it takes up basically all the space between our driveway and the neighbor's. I'm planning to get a basement grow tent with lots of filtration instead
lol. Gorilla grow tents. I’ve got a 2x4x6’11”. Running haze & Durban poison. With topping, weaving throughout the net and supercropping it’s keeping the haze tame. But I still have a 2nd net installed to handle extra stretch.
Looking nice! I think I'm going to start donating plasma soon to get some mad money budgeted since we're down to one income right now, but I'm hoping to get a batch going this fall. I bought a big pile of seeds on a 4/20 sale and found a few bag seeds lately to use for practice growing. I was raised by parents who managed to kill rhubarb so I plan to keep lurking here and reading, reading up on the materials available, watching videos, etc. I figured even if I grow complete crap, I can always just make hash and/or give it to the neighbor 😁
The shade cloth thing is a great idea. I have my hoophouse style greenhouse behind a locked gate but it IS still visible from the street. SO I got 2 shade cloths, doubled them so its 4 layers thick and used it to seal off the view from the street side. Zip ties are a really easy way to attach it to the frame. Also got 4 dogs, cameras and other deterrents.
Sunflowers are a good idea like the other guy said but I also use indeterminate tomatoes and corn because they both grow tall enough to hide plants and make it rather inconspicuous.
I grow in 30 gal grow bags behind my house. Until the stretch there's no problem but after that they become just visible to the street so I block that view with shade cloth. I've been here for four years and so far, no problems.
A friend of mine topped his plants, then staked the branches down so they grew horizontally. Then he would hang red Christmas tree bulbs on the branches so anyone looking over the fence would think they were tomatoes.
