Just a thought on plant counts: (depending on the state) often if it is legal to have 8 plants (4 flowering and 4 veg) it is only a civil penalty (ticket/fine) all the way up to 16 total plants, I believe, and you arenāt looking at anything criminal until 17+ plants.
How some states do it, not sure about all. Basically, if I have a couple extra plants vegging, Iām not going to worryā¦ but that might not be as easy to get away with as a caregiver type situation.
Also, if plant count is your limit, just grow massive fucking plants. Do some vertical lighting, stadium lighting, SCRoG, get wild. Space and light is your real limiting factor then.

Sure I can figure out how to make the best of low plant counts.
I simply askā¦Why do they need to lowered?
Is it right to lower plant counts?
What purposed will it server to cut my plant counts?
Why are they lowering plant counts?

It serves to keep any entrepreneurial person in check from becoming a boutique grower. I suspect it is to keep competition at a minimum so as not to take money away from the people who bribe the right politicians.

Ah, yes! @Habitt
That actually makes good sense.
There sure is a lot of that sorta thing going on right now and we may not even know about half of what goes on behind closed doors, but we can guess.

I presume itās to whittle away at the unregulated market. Personally Iād like to see larger plant counts (or no plant counts at all), but if you set it low it does cut down on the chance people will sell part of their harvest.
I could also see that high plant counts might lead to lower enforcement in generalā¦ i.e. why bother closely counting plants if the limitās 12, whereas if the count is 2 or 3ā¦ pretty simple to spot people growing above the limit.

Here in Mo we can legally distill 100 gal per year per household.

Still federally illegal (they want their $$$), but itās legal under state law in eight (nine if you count Iowa which apparently doesnāt have a law about home distillation one way or the other).
Personally I was surprised MA is one of themā¦ apparently as long as you keep it on your own property you can distill spirits in Mass.

If you get caught with some off your own property the law reads up to $10,000 fine per container + jail time. They donāt play around about that.

i think youre going to need more than 18 plants out here, they fly right over and dont bust massive illegal farms.
if they started charging people under this for small plant counts it would look bad.

Part of that study seems a little dumb to meā¦ they mention that 1mm particle size joints delivered more THC than 5mm particle size jointsā¦ as a red blooded American I canāt visualize metric measurements that wellā¦ so I looked it up: 1mm is roughly the size of the tip of a newly sharpened pencil, and 5mm is roughly the size of an unused pencil-end eraser. The latter would make for a really chunky joint, hard to see that burning all that well, or allowing much smoke to make its way through the joint into the recipient.

All I know is that when Cannibis is ground too fine it is hard to hit a joint. It ok to smoke out of pipe/bong but not joint. I too use coffee grinder to grind weed, but to roll joints I prefer manual ground weed. It is courser but the larger pieces facilitate air flow allowing the joint to be smoked.
I guess 1mm works if you have a machine sucking on a joint. Modify the test to have humans suck smoke through the filter for testing.
Ps- that article said nothing about how to roll a perfect joint. Machine rolled + machine smoked = bullshit science as it applies to me.

Well, I switched from joints to corn cob pipes many moons ago.
For me, the pipe provides more satisfaction. The particle size I prefer is roughly from
a bb to a little larger. I do not like grinders, I use small scissors to cut/prepare the flowers.
After the first couple of pulls from the pipe, I use a toothpick to stir/ freshen up the particles, which breaks them down smaller, and provides uncharred surfaces to ignite. I prefer smaller bowls for better overall taste.
And, of course, I can only speak for myself and what I have found to work well to enhance my enjoyment.

Yeah, when I realized how small 1mm is I thought āthat seems too small to me?ā
Iām a glass spoon person, been doing that exclusively for decades.

Yes a secret to a good blunt is always using hand ground buds.

I think I object more to the idea that irradiation is being used to render cannabis that tests positive for aspergillus safe to sell than producers using irradiation in general (i.e. as something of a preventative)
That saidā¦ it sounds like it will lead to more corporate cannabis, due to the added cost?
While I love some good indoorā¦ it seems to me thereās something inherently wrong when you have to sanitize constantly to stave off fungal outbreaks.
