Well, my legal limit is 4 as well. In late February, I started 2 photos and an auto. When I topped the photos, I cloned the cuttings. And dropped 2 more autos as part of @Grannygrows Harvest Moon Seed Drop. Then took more cuttings/clones.
So I had 3 in my tent, 2 autos and 2 tops outside, then another 14 cuttings I was going to plant in the hills or by the river. Ended up having surgery and that threw the guerilla grows out the window. So 22 at that point.
Gave my neighbour 4 plants, and whn I harvested the auto from the tent, I put the remaining 10 clones that were outside in with their mothers in the tent, leaving me with my 4 “legal” plants outside, and 12 in the 4x4. One turned hermie on me, leaving me 11 in the tent. Once the 2 mothers flowered out and were harvested, the remaining 9 had a bit more room to grow outwards but all they did was grow upwards. I hated them but couldn’t get rid of them. Abused and neglected, half-starved and in tiny pots, I didn’t want anything more to do with them honestly.
But they grew, massive single colas!
The 4 outside finished as well…the autos end of August, and the 2 photo clones got harvest October 20th, very unusual for Vancouver area weather, it usually starts pissing rain end of September and you get bud rot. But not this year!
So, 22 at one time, gave 4 away, 1 hermie, but harvested 17 plants, around 25 ounces dried. Not bad for a 4-plant limit! I have 5 in the tent now, and just took 10 more cuttings…here’s what’s growing on now
