What The Number Of Cannabis Plants Can Mean

The amount of cannabis plants can mean different things, first it can mean a larger harvest and secondly it can mean more legal problems the more plants that are grown, because it is considered drug trafficking.

It is possible for a plant to produce as much as two ounces at harvest time from large cannabis plants. This amount even if a grower had a permit to grow marijuana for medical reasons there is a limit to the amount of harvest.

In some areas the legal jurisdiction even when growing medical marijuana is still considered cultivating with the intent to traffic if over a certain amount of plants are grown.

It is these types of reasons why growing a cannabis crop of ten or twenty large plants makes more sense than growing forty to eighty smaller plants. The drug trafficking charges or the authorities do not take into account the size of the plant or the amount of pot the plants will produce. They concern themselves with the amount of plants; hence a charge for twenty large plants will not be as bad as a charge for eighty small plants.

Since most cannabis growers do not have a permit to grow medical marijuana, the amount of plants they are charged with for drug trafficking can mean an extended amount of time in jail. There is also the yield from the large plants which can average two ounces per plant versus a quarter ounce per plant with smaller plants.
