Ever have one of those years? You pick out a couple of seed varieties, drop your hard earned money down through the internet and eagerly await your seeds. They arrive in perfect condition, sprout and become some of the most beautiful plants you've ever seen. You carefully select a few key area's offering your babies all they need. Throughout the summer you visit to feed and water, but are careful to cover your tracks. Just before harvest your salivating thinking about your soon to be smoked buds. Then it happens.....weedwalkers have found your stash!
Here's a way to possibly beat them, and the police. Consider autoflower varieties, especially feminized. Think about it. From seed most autoflower varieties are 60-75 days to harvest, under any light conditions. Grant it your yields are lower (an average of 45 grams per plant), but there's the stealth of early maturity, and the fact the plants are usually around 1 foot tall.
Lets say you order 30 Lowryder #2 they are $135 per 10 pack. Total investment $420 with shipping (that number a coincedence?). Sow 10 seeds indoor mid May, plant at the end of May, at the same time sow 10 more. Two weeks later plant your second set and sow your third (which you will plant 2 weeks later). This gives you a harvest at the end of July, mid August and the end of August. Consider all seeds germinate (and you get average yields) thats roughly 3 lbs for $420!

How to make honey oil
What you'll need:
Take all your trim and dry it out completely. Crush it and stuff it into the "pipe".
To construct the "pipe" go to your local hardware store (or plumbing store) and purchase a 1' to 2' long piece of plumbing PVC. Purchase 2 end caps (about $10 tax in). You will also need 2 pyrex containers, 1 slightly larger than the other (Walmart $15). Drill a single hole in 1 end cap, just big enough for the tip on the propane can. The other drill 5-7 holes in a loose pattern. To assemble place a coffee filter at one end and cap it with the multi-hole end. Now fill the pipe and cap the other end.

Take the can of butane and empty the contents through the tube and into the pyrex bowl. A 1' tube filled with choice trim can go through 3 cans.
Now add boiling water to the outside (bigger) pyrex. Butane will boil off at room temperature, so the boiling water just speeds up the process. Make sure to do this in a well ventillated area and do not smoke, not even doobies! Remove the inner pyrex when the butane appears to be gone.
I like to burn off any residual butane by placing the container on LOW heat. It's important to use low for 2 reasons: you don't want to break your pyrex, and you don't want to burn the oil. Scrape the oil (easiest while warm with a blade) and place it into whatever. It will be very thick and worth every minute!
