I thought the helicopters used infrared devices that detect the heat given off by fertilizer.
Growers are moving inside these days and taking advantage of low heat/power LED grow lights. The downside of this is the plants are physically on your property and if caught, there is no way to deny possession. Most people that are busted are turned in by envious "friends".
The advantage of growing outside like you describe is that the narcs usually only get the plants and not the growers. Smart growers grow small "stealthy" strains and spread them out over a large area. When Green harvest starts, growers can pull most of their plants under cover and escape detection.
It's sucks for you, but the only way people are going to stop using "guerrilla" tactics is through legalization. The war on drugs is purely economic and entirely futile.
