My brother got raided in mid July before they made growing legal. He hears a helicopter buzzing around right over his house and about 10 minutes later a few suvs block the house from the road. He had a few small plants including males outdoors, they counted the males along with the females. Counted each plant as 1 pound. He got in a lot of shit with that, almost went to prison. Basically all I'm saying is make sure you have the males culled by early/mid July if you have over 12 because they do send up the chopper early some years.

Same shit here. Back when was illegal-ish I had a few plants and a snitch worked his way into my driveway, saw a couple 2 foot males.
Next thing I know, I'm at work chopping and spearing tobacco, when my mom calls, she was visiting from FL and staying with me.
She heard a chopper really low, and went out in the porch, thinking they were looking for someone. Then, as you said, a pile of black SUVs pulled in and she said they came out 'like ants.'
They scoured the property while they grilled moms, who lived here blah blah.
Mom says 'your lucky my sons not here, he'd have come out with the shotgun!'
No patches, no marking, no id'ing themselves, no warrant, nothing. Damn right I'd be pissed.
So his main dude comes up with like 4-5 little plants , a few males, junk. He was embarrassed, the Head Cheese said, 'That's it?' and they slunk away like the idiots they are.
Price to fire up the chopper? $10k
Plus full raid cost?
Thank God for stupid rats. His credibility went to batshit, and my harvest was amazing that year.

The comments about the multi-family brought up another issue in my mind. Do you know whether the property you grow your weed on has to be contiguous to the residence? Suppose you live in a 500-unit apartment complex. Could they have a warehouse-sized grow room or a couple acres nearby where each of the residents of the complex are entitled to grow their 6 plants? Might make for an interesting perk: Fitness center, olympic size swimming pool, raised bed for your cannabis. Master grower available for consult.

Put together a business plan. Hint, that's what they did in the emerald triangle, if the guidelines enable. Look at history. Research. But the bottom line is... what's your local pd gonna do? Talk to them find out their idea of legal, then follow it. Or bend it or break it, it's up to you.
It's been my experience transparency is best because if you're a growers you've got to let them see something.
Maybe not everthing.. but something

Yeah my bro said all these men came out armed with those long handled pruners and hedge clippers, all over a few 12" weed plants lol they didn't immediately arrest him so he actually texted his buddy who was growing a few in pots a couple streets over to warn him and he luckily managed to get them all inside his garage right before the chopper flew over.

Baby Hawaiian Hashbud x Balkhi started a few days ago, just to see if it will finish in four months as the Hashbud was said to -

This Tirah likes to turn some of its leaves sideways to absorb light via the underside, last year one of my Waziri did the same strange thing -

Last year’s Balkhi and Waziri plants were both from arid desert areas and they didn’t want a lot of nutrients - these Tirah are from a part of Pakistan that has the monsoon and they crave nitrogen and frequent watering. Amazing how they are so different even though Tirah Valley is only 100 miles north of South Waziristan.

Everything's kinda off to a slow start this year... life's been busy and the greenhouse is a still a mess, it's making ocd go a little crazy... I also had a spider mite problem breakout about a month ago in my indoor tent and ended up having to shitcan everything indoors & douche it all down... I lost all my clones and had to improvise a bit on what went into the greenhouse ... i ended up finding a male already in the ground about a week ago so i pulled that and replaced it with a Marty's Meat BX2

You can't catch a break for bit now. Damn. I'd gladly help. In MI unfortunately.

Speaking of which. I hope you East Coaster's will allow me to join the thread again. More comfortable than west of the Sippi makes me feel.

Peace, great grows and Happy Fathers Day all.

Sorry to hear of your struggles, PVOG. I know zip, zero and nada about cloning and my plants are all from regular seeds so I’d guess you’d want guaranteed fem clones, but happy to help in any way I can.

Meanwhile, my plants are in serious stretch mode - this Tirah grew 16” in a week! Several are starting to show some pre-flower sexing and only one so far clearly has balls, so that’s good -

I just got done bumping up the rest of plants and also did some topping and bottom cleanup. Those got tossed in the cloner.
@PioneerVallyOG ...if you still need clones in about 10 days you can PM me if you want to run to the Canton area.

Always welcome Michi.
Hey I'm gonna try ordering 90 day auto fems. What's a good seed bank site? Ideas for 90 day strains?
