Camo?

I have a garden grow that has, well, gotten out of control. I've always used good bagseeds before, so this time I ordered a few different strains to try, mainly based on size- trying to stay small to medium in stature. And freebies. I took advantage of our early spring and ended up with a couple of monsters, )guess I didn't think that part through), usually planting around the end of May, this time at the end of March.
Now they've taken on their notorious cylindrical bud branches, and look like major pot plants in my garden.
All that shit being said, I saw some bunches of these daisies and lillie at wally world- cheap, and thought I'd give them a makeover and see if might help.
At the distance these pics were taken, It's obvious as the nose on your face. But at 30-50 yards, the distance my neighbor might see them, the look like something different- quite a bit.
I'm sure I'm not the first to try this, because I read a post somewhere that a guy was using red and green christmas balls as tomatoes.
Anybody else?

1) 'Urcela'- Northern Lights that has been tied down from day one. Her trunk and 4 branches are about 6" off the ground. 6'x8' approx
2) Afghan - Never seen the likes of it before, the way it grows and flowers. Anyone grown this before?
3) 'MyHo Flo'- NYC Diesel freebie- She and her sister are beasts. This one wasn't topped, and has been tied down all her life. She's about 9' long
4) Flo's Ho sister 'Jo'- She's the one in the back, in a corner, pulled back as far out of sight as I can get her, and the 2 tallest cola's pulled over, below the fence line. About 2 weeks before she started showing hair in her cootchie, I literally cut here off below my belt with a pair of hedgeclippers. She'd be a 12 footer if I hadn't.
5) 'SumYungChic'- Thai stick. Same thing- hacked her off at the same time, though I had already pruned her to 4 branches, and have tied them out from early on.

Ideas? My garden just doesn't hide them anymore.

Too late this year buy next year get potatoe vines, they have purple and light green. You can pretty much train them to do what ever you want, up poles, fence etc. if watered right they grow like crazy and are great cover.

I did the same thing with my girls in a different thread called My Mexican rosebush. I used plastic flowers from the dollar store and from a distance you really wouldnt know. Very nice looking camo job.

Thanks, guys! I will definately remember the potatoe vines, I could use that cover!
These flowers had plastic coated wire stems, so I just bent the stem a little and stuck it there. As the bud grows I move them back up towards the top.
So far, so good!

OK, Captain Obvious LOLOL
J/K, I guess those wouldn't look too bad from a distance, plus, there's always the possibility that if your neighbors DID see them, they would figure nobody would plant cannabis THAT obvious, and also with the squash there in front too.

Wow they kind of look like bromeliad's... kinda.

Another great vine I use as a annual for my front window's privacy screen is Hop's they are a great vine for hiding stuff and if it get's cold enough they die off so ya don't have to worry about it taking over in a year or two. And ya can use the Hop flowers for beer!

I had actually considered doing this. I agree with Fresno that you might wanna add a few more flowers but otherwise good job dude.

I tried some pole beans earlier on in the year, and they helped fill in the greenery. But, the Texas heat wasn't too kind to them, and they're actually beginning to grow again. Then there were the grasshoppers, by the droves- that's been a battle all it's self. Little fuckers. Had 2 lemon skunks planted off-site, about 3' tall, come to water in the afternoon, the bastards at it down to a stick. IN 2 DAYS!
I won't hose my babies with chem's right now, so I have sprayed EVERYTHIG else within a 50 yd radius- lawn, trees, shrubs, kids, and I rarely see grasshoppers inside that zone. Fingers crossed.
I would've never thought of hops. I wonder how they'd hold up in this heat. I have to water my shit every day, else it looks like cooked spinach by noon
Thanks!

Indeed. I'm going to grab some more in the morning. It's our weekly trip to the grocery, best time is early in the morning.
Thanks
