parcel= yard.. you can have 12 mature OR immature or combo of both.. (I personally would find out via the locally PD on what is really required)
Here (tulare co) were allowed the same however outdoors must me in a 12x12 4- walled and roofed structure ... We also have Marijuana compliance officers who will check grows.. (never been checked myself) and have spoken to the MCO's no issues with them thus far.
