Grow Tip: Illinois Medical Marijuana Plant Limit

Dude Grows Show clip from Grow Talk Ep. 967
The Dude, Scotty and Guru cover medical cannabis plant counts in Illinois. Answering a Grow Talk question posted by Budrowrow who’s noticed Illinois was going to originally allow medical patients 5 mature plants defined as those with multiple pistils or in light dep of 12 hours or less and now sees that the legal max is five plants larger than 5”. “Do you have any suggestions on how to get the most temp/flavor diversity within these limits and not break the bank on constantly getting new seeds?”

    Your advice is ignore the law, the police and screw the limits?

    Come on! You can do better than that. I’ve heard you devote whole episodes to really silly, funny as hell stuff. You are able to give a better answer. Especially guru.

    The guy obviously doesn’t want to go to jail, have his house taken, lose his job or have a felony conviction. Then, on top of that, he can’t grow again.

    He’s a medical marijuana card holder and desrved an answer. Yours was really, really lazy. Ha ha. Scotty had too many dabs.

    Now, perhaps you’d like to try again.

    How can someone who is growing legally keep themselves in medicine and still obey the five adult plant limit without constantly buying seeds?

    It will take a while if you have to sex the plants. Wading through males and females sucks. But it works. I’d recommend cloning after you found her. Two females. Clone them and then flower out the moms. Pick the best.

    It’s either that or $10 a bean. 😋

    How do you even grow a plant five inches or less especially thats flowering?
    20 gram yield 4 grams per plant at that size

    What’s funny is us IL non medical residents get caught growing its basically an ordinance violation. About 200$ fine

    I’ve lived in a deep RED prohibitionist state that doesn’t seem to be open to ANY change in the near future. That’s why I just do what I do and keep my head down, regarding growing. BUT, I will tell you how cannabis has changed my life…



  15. Jason Sandoval on June 5, 2021 at 8:29 pm

    Question what’s the latest you could lollipop or takeoff all the larf??! Can you do it well your in early med flower???



  16. Lee ? on June 5, 2021 at 8:31 pm

    This proves a few inches really does make a difference… 4 plants is more than many of us are allowed…



  17. Robert McDonald on June 5, 2021 at 8:33 pm

    Just don’t get caught bad advice Scotty. I have been there done that. Then you say they still have to charge and convict you THEY WILL.

    Illinois has the dumbest laws on cannabis. You can have up to 30 grams with you, but if you have more than 10grams and paraphernalia on you it a misdemeanor. They only want you to buy it, not smoke it. Lol.

    Love the show!! Thanks for all the great info!! Best wishes DGC



  20. Luke Johnson on June 5, 2021 at 8:38 pm

    I have my Med card in Illinois ,my fiancé does too. The law says five plants per household. It’s only a $200 fine if anyone grows one to five plants without Med card. So if I have ten even if we both have Med cards, is it a felony or fine? Please could someone help me find this out?
