"Mature"

What is considered a "mature" plant?

Depends on you really, some people like them a little less or more done. For the sake of profit and personal prefference I will let mine totally mature. This is typically when all the hairs turn brown, red, white (more so), etc. I just put new pics of mine up, they are nearly mature and a great example of it!! This bud still needs some more time! All of the hairs will turn nice and red first.....

That would be more like ripe,^^^ a mature plant occurs during veg (if you allow it to) and alternating nodes is the signal that the infant (seedling) plant has matured and is ready to flower. If you put it in 12/1`2 before this occurs it will still mature before it flowers

5-6weeks veg w/ preflowers

Thanks for all of the answers but what is considered "legally" mature?

anything that is not a seedling

currently, any single plant with roots is 'counted'. there is talk about limiting the count to plants taller then 12" (this would eliminate clones being counted and very small veg IMO), but it's only talk.

one way to kinda get around this, is to root clones on the mother (no cutting until after the roots are showing. there is technique to it, but it works fine. technically still 1 plant ......

otherwise, exactly what riddleme and dam said. @ 5-6 weeks for full plant (from seed) maturity. a cloned plant is already 'mature' as far as 'age' goes.

The bill is even confused as to what a "mature" plant is, here is a couple of quotes from Amendment 20, my research did not show any change in this, so it is covered in Amendment 20 still.
"No more than six marijuana plants, with three or fewer being mature, flowering plants that are producing a usable form of marijuana." ( 4 II)
So that of course raises the question what is a "usable form of marijuana"
""Usable form of marijuana" means the seeds, leaves, buds, and flowers of the plant (genus) cannabis, and any mixture or preparation thereof, which are appropriate for medical use as provided in this section, but excludes the plant's stalks, stems, and roots"
"Excluded stalks, stems and roots" but includes leaves? How am i going to grow a plant that has stalks and roots but no leaves? I guess that means trim is counted also, what a crock.
But honestly what i would take from this is the part that says "mature, flowering plants" so its not mature until its flowering. Thats my 2 cents at least, take these as you want, but i kind of see a loop hole a good lawyer could use there.
