i'm not sure havn't been talking to the lad in ages and he was caught along time ago so they may be even leaner nowadays, i've heard plenty of other stories of people been caught with 1 or 2 just to have the plants taking off them, i think personally that if you have a scales and other parafinalia you'll be seen as a dealer and done accordingly. i'm growing 3 myself and intend to start another 2 and try to rotate them keeping a max of 5, and ya this countries attitude to weed is a joke pure back wards
