Illegal grow state? Carbon, carbon, carbon, show NO ONE your grow area, traffic nothing from your home, never brag about your plants, don't do business with folks who you don't know well enough to let them hold your life in their hands. Stay -far- away from people who have legal issues in their lives, have marital discord, have notable mental health issues, or are involved in high-stakes, high-risk activities of any sort, from dealing in or abusing higher-risk substances, stealing from others, etc..
And check your ego and temper at the door. Once you're at-risk for a grow in hostile country, be ready to -not- unload instant karma of any kind on anyone who may have a hunch of your activity, or bring LEO into your life, no matter how badly the individual(s) need a piece of your mind or fist. Just smile, and move on....
Better to plan on not getting busted, rather than planning to get busted. If it's the type of shithole state where they weigh the wet plants, roots, dirt, and all, what use is it to grow less or more? You are taking the same risk regardless. My $.02.
Do they prosecute in your area based on plant count, aggregate weight, or both? (*If legal consequences are going to be a primary consideration in your decision-making...).
Smaller plants, budded out earlier in their life-time, may leave you sitting on plants for less time, but more of them..
Larger plants take more time, leaving you vulnerable for longer periods, but likely with fewer plants..
A lb. of pungent buds from a larger plant or three, versus a lb. from a butt-load of SOG-style, will put out similar odor in either case, assuming same health in both crops.

And KNOW YOUR RIGHTS where you live!!
If ever questioned or busted, SAY NOTHING!! Your right to remain silent is THE most important right you have. Any good attorney will tell you straight up that more folks are convicted by their own (often inadvertent) statements, than by anything else. Silence is GOLDEN!!!
And NEVER ever grant approval for a search. It doesn't convince the requesting authorities you have nothing! It simply expedites them entering the area where you -don't- want them to be.
Good luck.
Anyone got a clue what a standard sized plant weights w stems and all? Dried
I have found that with a great yielding clone, the dried buds make up about two thirds of the total above ground weight.More work doesent matter, what im looking for is a way to get the best bud-plant materia ratio! Yeah sure 2 years for Five kilo is okay but take in account that they weigh stems and leaves aswell! Anyone got a clue what a standard sized plant weights w stems and all? Dried

To maximise yield over time without having excessive amounts at any one time, you should have two lights and two grow spaces. This way you can stagger your grows so that when one is ready the other is only in the early flowering stage. As far as plant numbers, I grow only one plant per 600w light, which can yield around 500-600grm.
Yeah it usually varies between 5-600gm in a 4 x 3ft space. I have a sativa leaning hybrid that makes large dense buds and I tip or prune it to create multiple branches during veg.Tnx man! That was exactly what i needed! One plant 600g, have you reached urself??

2 to 3 week veg depending on how advanced the clone is, then 7 to 7.5 weeks in flower.How long does ut take to finish?
A 1,000 watt HPS can yield you up to a kilo of bud for a beginner that is pretty difficult the stems and leaves won't weigh as much so you can easily do a 3,000 watt grow and not hit 5 kilos in total dry plant material and that's just at harvest time.Great tips but its going to be an indoor operation!
