What if you live in a multi-family home? Is each unit a residence or is the entire multifamily considered one residence? If I'm in a three family home, can me and my neighbor's have 18 plants Outdoors, six each? Or can we have 36 plants Outdoors 12 each, if there's two people living in each unit of the three family?
Or can we only have a total of 12 plants Outdoors for the entire 3 unit 3 family home?

If your landlord allows it ,i believe its twelve total regardless. Good question. Better get yours out before the guy upstairs does lol

I'm sure there is some bs wording. They may consider the yard if you will ,as the owners even though 3 apartments are rented to separate people that's why I'm guessing 12 max regardless. Its mass after all and I'm guessing all that's being technically leased in the fine print is the actual apt.

I see a possible big problem with outdoor grow at a multi unit prop. The landlord may say go ahead but the lady upstairs with kids playing may think differently

I work in a service industry and am at multi unit buildings and triple deckers daily,and in my findings it seems there is always atleast one occupant the others dont like

Each is a residence . You ea have a number or letter to distinguish. If the guy downstairs comes into your unit without permission what would you call it

The comments about the multi-family brought up another issue in my mind. Do you know whether the property you grow your weed on has to be contiguous to the residence? Suppose you live in a 500-unit apartment complex. Could they have a warehouse-sized grow room or a couple acres nearby where each of the residents of the complex are entitled to grow their 6 plants? Might make for an interesting perk: Fitness center, olympic size swimming pool, raised bed for your cannabis. Master grower available for consult.

That's an awesome thought lol. Call it green acres or something. If they got a commercial license tenants might get even more haha

Does anybody know whether the resident themselves need to be the grower? The 500-unit example wouldn't make sense if you had 500 different people doing the growing . . . oh, the chaos! But if you could transfer the right to grow your 6 plants, then we'd have something!

I'm fantasizing! :hump:

Maybe? If the three separate households genuinely exercise separate ownership of and control over the plants. They might have to have three separate secure areas.

Do people who live in separate units count as members of the public who might be able to view plants from a common area of the property? Maybe?

I think there may be some logistical issues? Even in a legal state I reckon the fewer people who know about a grow the better... in a multunit building the number of people (not just tenants but visitors/vendors/etc) who might become aware increases multiple fold.

I think outside grow w or w/o permission or lawful right is asking for problems in this setting imo. Let's face it these properties are almost always in the most settled and built up part of town.

my first outdoor grow is official underway. Setup up 2 10 gallon grow bags yesterday. One bag has 3 Hubbabubbasmelloscope seeds from Mephisto and the other has 2 Trizzler seeds from Mendocino Twenty20. I wanted to give multiple autos in one pot a try. I’ll probably add one more seed in its own bag but having trouble deciding what to pop from my collection of Mephisto, Night Owl, Wicked Pissah, and Dutch Passion.

inside I have a Wizard Punch clone that is huge but rehabbing from its journey from Maine, Bruce’s Ballsack from Dojo Seed Co, BodegaPunch from Eastcoast Cultivars, Tranquil Hash Plant and Love Stash from Dragons Flame Genetics and a Charlottes Angel CBD from Dutch Passion. All are well over a month old except from the CBD (~2 weels) and clone is well established but age unknown.

Looks like this thread is going micro-managing to the extreme. Look, by the time you cull your males, cull your garden to 12 plants. So simple. Unless you have 150 seedlings and are blatantly planning to circumvent the law....
I follow the law as I believe it's intended. I have the right to 12 females, and as long as that is the end result, then I'm following the law.
It's not that difficult. They aren't going to raid/inspect you unless a. Its harvest time, or b. You're in blatant violation of the 2 main rules. Two easy rules.
No visibility from the public. A lock on your fence. Why make it harder than that?
As my grandpa used to say, ' fuck the dumb shit, the end result is what matters.'
Or something like that.
Blessings

That's how they get down in the emerald triangle. Every worker on the farm has papers allowing a co-op to grow a certain quantity. At least at one time or phase it was like that. Now, the rules out there are designed for big pharma.
Check out Murder Mountain on Netflix, will give you great insight to their process.
Bottom line, uncle Sam will be coming for his nickel. Then his dollar....

Finally all outside, surprised me how well they did during the heatwave since it was like a day after I put them out. Been loading them up with silica lol
Couldn't find a long term solution for the termites so they have to be propped up on bricks.. sucks to lose the extra root space when they grow through the pots but its better than losing the entire crop

Seems without 45 to kick around every night the local news has gone back to chasing firetrucks, wonder how many of these recent house fires are caused by indoor growers?

My brother got raided in mid July before they made growing legal. He hears a helicopter buzzing around right over his house and about 10 minutes later a few suvs block the house from the road. He had a few small plants including males outdoors, they counted the males along with the females. Counted each plant as 1 pound. He got in a lot of shit with that, almost went to prison. Basically all I'm saying is make sure you have the males culled by early/mid July if you have over 12 because they do send up the chopper early some years.
