25 square feet means a lot!

Allowing 5'x5' home gardens and use will drive the illegal growers out. The price will drop and that is the point.
The profit to risk ratio will just not be worth it for larger growers. It's the resulting price drop that will kill centralized/illegal growers.

Why is this lost on so many who rail against CA's Prop 19?

1. I've read that Humboldt is a problem.

They selfishly don't want cheap Cannabis.

2. tax free income

They are leeches.

3. they want people to have to buy from them instead of growing their own C.R.E.A.M.

4. Thing is, I know they know how to grow.

If they were smart they'd vote to legalize their product and continue producing their strains in greater numbers for the new market. It would quickly become the Napa Valley of Cannabis.

Instead they're choosing greed. The dollar is more important to them than the herb.

IMO CA should boycott their product if prop 19 passes.

5. You can grow a hell of a lot in a 5x5 intensively cultivated garden

You can likely get 5 full sized plants out of it, one in each corner and one in the center. That's a year's supply for the most dedicated tokers.

I got summer veggies plus enough to can to last me through February every year from an intensive garden not that much larger.

6. Actually you could do 9, 16 or 25 with other supercropping methods.

I would do 4 plants per run, tied down and drip fed/recycled, but that's just me.

I like big honkin' plants. Less chance for disease and/or pest infestation.

7. Yes, but they wouldn't be full size, 15 footers.

You can grow a lot of short ones or a few tall ones.

8. But the drip line would, more than likey, exceed 5X5.

I know someone (ahem) who has plants larger than 5X5. In CA, a card-holder can grow 26 plants outdoors.

And then there's the barn.

9. In CA, a card holder has no limits on the amount they can grow based on last year's SC ruling

10. Tell it to the Law.

After they rip your shit up.

11. It's enough for personal use.

I wouldn't call it a lot. About 4 to 6 plants in or outdoors, a little more or less than a pound depending on how good you are.

It doesn't make a difference to me, I am 215 and I grow under those guidelines.
