Default What is Commercial?
Just a general question for fun:

At what point would you consider a crop/garden "commercial?" I know the right answer is when you produce too much to consume yourself, so you sell it...but how many plants would you consider "too big" for a normal home grower?

I guess it depends on size of plants. Like look at fdd's plants. Maybe 10 big plants, 20 small plants.

There are a lot of variables involved here:

-How big will you grow the plants?

-How long will you veg them for?

-How much do they yield per sq. meter?

-How often do you harvest?

****How much do you smoke?*****


That last question is the most important. Because (keep in mind, I have no legal background or experience) it seems that the more you can prove that you smoke, the more weed you would need to grow for it to be "commercial."

For instance, lets assume you get 1 oz. (dried, ready to smoke) per plant. Now, if you (and maybe your roommate) smoke an ounce a week cuz you're potheads, then you can grow more plants. But if you only go through an ounce in 3-4 weeks, then it'll be harder to justify growing 10 plants than if you were smoking an once a week.

I hope that makes sense, cuz it does in my head, lol.

Makes perfect sense. the thing is... in my county your are allowed 6 immature and 6 mature plants. There is no legal recourse such as "I smoke more than that." So, legally, he answer is simple: 13 plants is commercial, 12 is technically not. I was just wondering based on average stats for indoor growth. (3.5 feet tall with 2 ounces a plant). What makes you instantly think...this guy is out to make money; rather than this is aa home op for personal use or maby a roomate.

I'd go more on how many hps you have, someone might grow himself a few plants, then stop growing for a bit, to not have the risk so often but a commercial grower will always have lots of hid
