Clones are an individual plat. At least they are in the unfriendly state of Ky. I got busted with 1250 clones in 1997, and went to federal prison for 7 years, and 5 years supervised release. The charge carried a 10-LIFE Mandatory Minimum, and 3-5 MILLION DOLLAR fine, which was waived.
I had given my partner 500 clones to put on his farm, and he got busted. I was the manufacturer, and got charged with all 1250 of them. I gave him 500, and had 750 when they got me. He ratted me out, and got no time. I got 12 years if you include supervised release.
So dont think the cops believe clones are all one plant. They will fry you any way they can.
