blackhorse Report post Posted May 13 Where do I find the ruling on when a clone counts as a plant? From what I remember, if it has a root system then it is counted as one of your plants. Recently someone told me a different opinion and I would like to show them the actual ruling. I always consider a clone in clone bucket that has the start of a root system as one of my 12 plants.

shishka Report post Posted May 13 I agree with your assessment but like you I hear some people wanting to use the mmfla rules where a plant doesn’t get tagged and thus counted until it is eight inches tall. Sure to cause some issues for some people. 1 blackhorse reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackhorse Report post Posted May 13 Seems like one of the court rulings was on what stage a plant was considered part of our plant count. I'm thinking any root system, but not positive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will look the act up and print it out for the person. I was thinking it was added to one of the court cases. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Easy E Report post Posted May 17 I personally count any cutting that I intend to root and grow out as one of my plants. 1 blackhorse reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking it was added to one of the court cases. there were a few court cases that attempted to define a plant, although i dont think any of them were even in the COA or MSC. The change in the law to define plant make any old court opinion on what a plant is now, null. 1 1 blackhorse and Easy E reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackhorse Report post Posted May 18 In my garden if it has the start of a root, then it is one of my plants. Actually if it goes into clone bucket, then it is considered one of my plant count. Always stay within my plant count. Peace of mind for me! 1 Easy E reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
