ya really ya know EF.....I not sure if I'm getting the sense of this but...my view is that really for any of the people that might care, and if they actually do care and if they see growing plants....the difference between taking out a few males and what you have now or vice versa.....I really don't think is worthy of angst..........if they're onto you, and you get rid of however many males....it aint like they're gonna say....oh man EF you only have XX plants.....we'll be lenient with you......cultivating is cultivating.....and in our country the new proposed law will apply whether its one or 1000 plants.....but only IF the intent is to traffic......I'm sure there more in those new laws.....but I thought this might be relevant.
So try and relax man.....yes its a measured risk....don't let urself get all wound up and attract attention to the nervous fella down the street syndrome......its all good!
