my mother plants were just topped to about 5" so its going to be a couple months before i have rooted clones from them.

this is in the mean time, and i'm just curious if i'd be able to get 18 cuts from a shop with 2 patients to my name.

to clarify:

me + 2 patients = legal right to 9 plants in veg and 9 in flower (18 total)

would it be legal for me to have all 18 plants in veg with none in flower?

it should not be a prob if you can find a shop that has that many on hand that are bug/pest/mold free..that would be your only prob i would think!


That's the kicker right there! ;-)



btw, asked this question of an attny a while back... 6 per for 'total' plant counts (3x6@18). This can be all veg w/o issue.

The flower max is 3 per, or the 9, which will then also come off of your 'total' plant count numbers... reducing the veg totals from 18 down to 9 once you flip the others.

At the very least, this is how a couple of lawyers have explained it to me. You should be cool, but it is no guarantee that the cops will be 'reasonable' once in your place...???
 
Yes you are allowed to have all 18 plants in veg. The reason for the 3/3 restriction is to keep you from having more than half of your total plants in flower where they can produce usable meds. Dispensaries will totally sell you 18 clones if you show them 3 licenses, nobody will give you any shit guaranteed. This is in no way a gray area I don't know what people are talking about.

Actually the law says nothing of flowering plants. It says "mature" plants, and they define "mature" as 12" or more, no matter what cycle of life they are in. Cops don't know the difference, if its got a 5 leaf pattern on it, its smokeable to them! So technically, you can have 9 babies, and 9 mothers, or however, but I don't think anyone cares....

Yea I def. wouldn't trust cops to decipher what stage my plants are in. :nono:
I also wondered about veg. numbers, esp. when you are just starting out...How are you sup. to start from seeds?
Or take clones? Or keep moms? Gurrr.
I just really hate that veg. limit! I am ok w/ 3 in flower, (ok, yes, ideally I'd like to have more, of course),
but I just think 3 veg. seems so unreasonable;
it keeps pts. going back to dispensaries to buy clones, instead of keeping mom's or starting some seeds.

Of course, on the other hand.... 3 > 0. :bigeye:
...So yea, guess I am just thankful for those 3, lol.
:whee:

If I understand what you're saying correctly then your interpretation of the law is incorrect. The percentage part of the plant count restriction only applies to flowering plants. You can have all 6 plants per license be vegging plants if you like.
 
hoss read greenmophos post ya fuckin pig
How about going to CDPHE and getting it from the horse's mouth?

(a) A patient may engage in the medical use of marijuana, with no more marijuana than is medically necessary to address a debilitating medical condition. A patient's medical use of marijuana, within the following limits, is lawful: (I) No more than two ounces of a usable form of marijuana; and (II) No more than six marijuana plants, with three or fewer being mature, flowering plants that are producing a usable form of marijuana. (b) For quantities of marijuana in excess of these amounts, a patient or his or her primary care-giver may raise as an affirmative defense to charges of violation of state law that such greater amounts were medically necessary to address the patient's debilitating medical condition.
