less plants is always better..if you did happen to get busted unlikely, but possible), it would look a lot better having 3 or 4 plants, than having 20..

probably easier to manage fewer large plants than more smaller ones.

Plant 10...some usually die off...and you have to factor in the male to female ratio, but ultimatly it's in the genetics of the seeds...you could plant 6 seeds and get 6 males, or all females...just depends. if you end up with more then you can handle...just take the best ones and concentrate on those. Always better to learn small so if you mess up it's not a BIG deal.

i'd say six is a good starting point for a new guy. i started with 1 and then went to six, i think its a good number.

are the laws in the US for growing the same if you're growing 22 as they are if you're growing say 3-4?

Where I am, anything over 4 is considered not for personal use and the penalties are much harsher - still nothing compared to the US though.

Being a "noob" grower at one time you make mistakes and that makes the death toll go UP!!!:?

Even now i make mistakes from time to time as all people do.

Read EVERYTHING you can to ensure higher rates of survival. Sometimes it's just the genes for that plant and there's nothing you can do about. Don't fret...just keep trying.
