Ask her to drive you somewhere and remind her she is over the speed limit, the posted limit every few minutes. I translate it don’t have a grow op. I have a small grow and can have 10 baby plants going(for selection) with the intention of growing only 2. But My Flower Table is only 3 foot x 3 foot, that is not a grow op, no smell, ect… And to laugh at the irony, my neighbor grew 4 12 footers last year in his back yard. Each plant was over 6 feet wide and he lives on a small corner lot. Can be seen from the street, wifey has control issues? I’m not trying to be mean mine has control issues and it came out like that when I first started growing.

But can we be certain those cuttings hold no THC or the precursors that could be deemed THC?
I would recommend to the OP to maybe look into tissue culture. It is a way to keep genetics stored for a long time, before they actually develop roots. I prefer keeping mother plants myself, but like the idea of having much more options with tissue culture while remaining legally compliant.

I will not advise you to do anything illegal but you need to consider national laws when you are setting up your grow. In the usa hemp is now legal…all plants in veg are considered hemp. You can ship these anywhere in the us as well as ship seeds…
So…you can have a many clones or mother’s or seeds as you want per federal law. Federal laws trump state laws as we are all aware…
I think it’s time to mention again that the federal definition of hemp is three percent thc not .3 as is so often mentioned on the intrnet.
So there is no way your clone or mother can not be considered hemp
It is very easy to grow an ounce from 4 plants…stagger them so you harvest once a month…8 week veg 8 week flower. You could also throw a grafted multi strain plant into flower.

Fairly sure that after a few weeks of veg, once they’re past seedlings, they’ve matured enough to start growing trichomes and thus will exceed the THC content to be considered hemp. Seeds are legal to ship, but only if you’ve filled out the proper paperwork. If you haven’t, they’ll be seized and destroyed; though it’s almost certainly not gonna get anyone arrested it’s still illegal.
Uh… kind of. Maybe. Unless there are conflicting federal regulations directing federal employees to ignore federal laws in favor of state laws, like legalizing marijuana in the first place. In this case, I don’t think it’s going to make much of a difference what federal laws are or how the DEA might view his clones - if arrested, he’d be prosecuted in Virginia according to their laws. Even if it were technically legal federally, which I don’t think it is, getting an appeal heard would be a very long, expensive process and the Supreme Court often refuses to hear cases that touch on questions of states’ rights. Either way, advising people to just ignore their local laws and assume they don’t apply is dangerous imo. He can ignore them, but should know they will very probably still apply, and trying to prove that they didn’t would involve plenty of money and probably time served.

I’m not sure what your point is.
A. The farm bill of 2018 specifically defined the possession and distribution of all cannabis products containing less than .3% thc as legal within the USA.
B. Federal statutes define hemp as a cannabis plant with less than 3% thc
C. Farm bill is specific to a lower thc %%% because politicians don’t want to say it’s ok to ship and sell thc products. Also there are tax codes to be considered.
This is someone else’s thread…
This, and ten characters.

Water cloning. Grow roots without soil and you break no laws. Clones can sit in water for a very long time, months even. Roots will grow, the clone will be the same. The best part is you can water clone as many as you want and choose the most vigorous. Give it a shot. This one was growing roots for two months before I made it a mother. I don’t know how it grows so many roots without food or leaf degradation

Chellie Pingree (D-ME) filed the Hemp Advancement Act on Tuesday. The legislation would provide several critical reforms, including by increasing the legal THC threshold for hemp products from the current 0.3 percent to 1 percent on a dry weight basis.Feb 8, 2022

Grow high CBD hemp below the THC threshold and just convert the CBD to THC. A book called Cannabis Alchemy tells you how to do it. Link: Cannabis Alchemy

I’m also in VA and the laws are hard to keep up with. Politicians are making a real shit show of things. Theyre all salivating over the prospects of a legal retail market in 2024, meanwhile tightening their grip on simple possession and I suspect they’ll recriminalize cultivation for peons such as you and I. Currently 5-10 plants is a civil penalty of 250$, not too high a price to pay I suppose. 11-49 is a class 1 misdemeanor punishable by up to 1 year in jail and/or up to 2500$ fine. Bullshit laws when you consider 5 plants is no more a detriment to society than 4, and so on goes for 11 or 49. Anyways, like I said, 250$ isn’t THAT big a price to pay for a hobby you’re passionate about. Also, what are the odds you’ll get caught? Slim to none I think. Even slimmer if you consider they probably wont execute a seach warrant if their prize is only 250$ Don’t post pics with more than 4 plants so you can maintain culpable deniability. Don’t show a bunch of ppl.

I think that book also has the recipe for converting THC into THC-Acetate?
It really intrigued me 20 years ago as a high schooler. More potent than THC, longer duration of affect, and a more psychedelic high. Plus 1g THC becomes 1.Xg of THC-Acetate
Never crossed it in real life…

What they couldn’t sing it to you?
Yep, I too read it many years ago. When seeing op’s conundrum of a 4-plant limit, I figured that I would throw-out the CBD to THC conversion. It seems that many these days are not aware of it, else many more would be into growing high CBD hemp for conversion👍🏻

The process creates delta-8 THC though. It’s not quite the same IMO.

One thing that was said about the plant limit in VA by law enforcement, they aren’t going to be too worried about counting plants in private residences.
