They weigh what you just harvested (including the trim you were going to throw away) and it weighs 10 ounces because its still wet. While they're doing this one cop (the nice one) asks you what your favorite dispensary is and you say 'The Wellness Center has some really good prices'. Next thing you know the cops are putting your 10 oz wet shit in a airtight bag and arrest you for felony possession with intent to distribute.

So you say screw this, I didnt do anything wrong so you hire an attorney to fight it. He tell you that he will either plea bargain it or you can take it to trial but he wants $15,000. At your trial the cop gets on the stand and testifies that you admitted The Wellness Center gives you really good prices. Now a jury has to decide who to believe, you - a guy growing weed, or a law enforcement officer, all because you let them in and talked.
That's a pretty extreme example. I'm small scale, but if a cop came knocking saying there were reports of marijuana being grown, I would probably present my ID and red card, and politely decline to answer that question.

I'm not sure if they'd come back with a warrant or what. I imagine they wouldn't waste their time with someone super small scale like me, but someone approaching 36 plants or an apartment grow or someone noticing plants outside or something.

Although, matt cook has said something along the lines using root weight, dirt weight and water weight as going towards my 2 ounce limit. So basically, if I were busted harvesting even one plant, it's likely that I'm going over my 2 ounce posession limit. I guess I might be able to hedge my bets if I were a caregiver or something so I could increase my weight limit.

I think we agree.
