No clones, the law says no live plant material (also means the only way to get it for eating fresh is to grow it). Dispensaries will be allowed to sell seeds and patients may buy them.
The cannabis seeds are expensive. Most of the seed-bank sells approx $10.00 and more per seed. I ordered and received seeds from "Expertseedbank" and they have the special deal right now until the end of Jan. ex: I ordered 10 seeds, cost me $67.00 and they sent 20 seeds extra, so I received a total of 30 seeds.
If you ordered > (EU) 50.00, shipping is free. It is coming from overseas, so it takes longer to get here. I ordered 2x from them and both times, they arrive within 3 weeks from the date that I place an order.

I went to the dispensaries just before Christmas and they have nothing. No seeds and they don't know exactly when they will get them or what strain they will carry. I am not sure if dispensaries will be ready for the flood of customers on Jan 1. They don't seem to have it under control.
IL is allowing us (Medical M Cardholder) to grow 5 plants that are anything over 5 inches tall. Why bother stating plants over 5 inches! When it starts to sprout, within a couple of days, it will be over 5 inches. When you apply the stress training to marijuana plants, you can actually make the plant grow short and wide. I think people who wrote this law never grow any plants, especially marijuana. So, when they say 5 inches, how do they measuring the heights?
Another reason I'm doing autos. The big advantages of photos to me are basically negated by the five plant limit. If you get a rare and very nice cutting one day, you're basically just growing only that.
Auto has pros and cons. I think if you are serious about growing, I think it is best to learn to grow with feminized. Auto plants, you can't control, but if you grow feminized, you can let it stay longer in the veggie state before you switch to flower. You can't do that if you are growing Auto.
Growing all 5 plants and chop them and start over again will not give me enough buds to make medicine for my husband... Not to mentioned it takes 5-6 months to grow from the seed to harvest.
I am going to grow my plants in both stages; Starting at 5 plants, after 2 months, move 2-3 plants to flower room, but keep 2-3 plants in the Veggie room and continue to grow them in the veggie state. When the plants in the flower tent are ready to be harvest, I will cut them. Same time, I can move the plants in the veggie tent to flower tent and start 2-3 new grow (either from the seeds or cloning) So, I will always grow 5 plants. but if I follow my plan, I can do the perpetual harvest, every 2 months. This requires either 2 tents or 2 separate rooms.
