sounds like Colorado 10 years ago , everyone was paranoid about growing even though 6 plants were legal
i had a medical card and was a registered caregiver with 6 “patients” that I sold , er , I mean I was recompensed for my time and labor which was within the Colorado Caregivers Guidelines
and because of that , I had a plant count of 99
it is really difficult trying to grow 99 plants from photoperiod seeds
about the only way to start and finish with 99 plants is feminized seeds or clones
so with photoperiod seeds in order to have 99 plants I had to start out with around 200 seeds
sometimes I was under 99 and sometimes I was over 99
