Hi guys! Ive tried to search but dont really know what to search for.

Where i live its illegal to grow and you get punished by the weight. Is it better for me to grow a small amount of big plants or a large amount of smaller plants?

Thanks in advance for your input

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.

Illegal grow state? Carbon, carbon, carbon, show NO ONE your grow area, traffic nothing from your home, avoid retail (thereby avoiding a greater # of customers), 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....

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.

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.

Im not planning to get busted, not at all, im just planning so that IF i get busted, i get away the easiest i can!

Im from sweden, here they cut the crop at soil level and dry it. 5kg = 2 years. Im trying to calculate the lowest risk/highest yield

Not sure if weather/temps allow it, but sounds like an ideal situation for some femmed autos in a guerilla setting. Find a nice secluded spot near a stream or some other water source, plant seeds, come back in 60 days or whatever and harvest. If soil quality is questionable toss some sort of dry fertilizer on the soil around where you plant the seed.

5 kilo's only 2 years, damn that's a bargain.

Depends on your access to the outdoors. Or if you are renting.

A 630 CMH can supply plenty of herb and hash. More plants equals more work and quicker return. Larger plants are easier to manage and take longer (due to veg). Also the longer the veg the more expensive. Some figuring is taken into consideration with veg lights that use less wattage (dial down).

If plant count doesn't matter, then SOG can be a great way to go.
High yield, less VEG time.

Great tips but its going to be an indoor operation!

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
