Confused about the growing laws

So I have read the laws about growing and want to obey the law but I am confused as to what they mean. So it says you can have 6 plants in Colorado but only 3 may be "Mature Flowering plants" Does that mean when my plant in a vegetative state shows sex it is a mature flowering plant? The plant is not budding but has shown sex (has pistols) and I already have 3 flowering plants. Does this mean I have to cut my plant down because it has shown maturity or can I still keep it because it is not a "flowering mature" plant?

It means that you can have 3 plants in a flowering cycle, And 3 vegetating until it's ready to flower. Only 6 plants alive at a time.

Yodaweed - They havent gone so far as to make an exact distinction about the definition of mature. The intent is that only three plants would be flowering at one time. The industry regards this to mean plants in a room lit 18 ormore daily. Presexing is not regarded as flowering. The grey area that makes for loose definition is auto flower genetics. As long as your only producing preflowers there should be no mature classification.

Blackforest - provided your clone is less than 8" tall, in no larger than 2x2x2" medium, not being fed nutrients then Colorado doesnt consider it a plant yet regardless of root mass.

Is this true? Where did this information come from? Do we have legislation to prove this in a court of law?

Snaps thank you so much for that link! Does anyone know what the legality of bartering with home grown would be? Could i potentially exchange an ounce with another adult of 21 years of age for goods/services just not actual money? My friends get very angry with me when I wont sell them any (I kinda like that the only way to smoke my home grown is a blaze sesh with me though lol). I was also thinking of trying to find other home growers willing to trade buds just to get some variety without having to grow multiple strains with the low plant limit, but still concerned with putting myself at risk meeting an asshole that could potentially stick me up for buds.

You may give your marijuana away. Any arrangement where you are compensated with more than a smile and a handshake is breaking the law.

Dude your own link says "Plant counts shall not exceed six (6) plants per patient including clones placed in a growing medium"

and

When is a plant counted as a plant if it is just cloned in a rockwool cube?

A plant is considered part of a licensee's plant count when introduced into any growing medium , including rockwool cubes.

Ok mr smarty pants, I only waste my time on you for the sake that others may benefit. Please try reading the whole paragraph after question #1 where it talks about allowable container size for clones & its called a red card, dr can give a high plant count.

And yes they're still giving out high counts and no the state did back off the high count scare tactic.

Are you saying that "clones" dont count against your plant count??

I read that whole letter. The part talking about container size is just defining the term "clone" legally. Right after that definition it says:

"Pursuant to the following rules a "clone" must be considered as part of, or "counted against", a licensee's plant count when it is introduced into a growing medium."

Rule 1.205(C)(1) says all plants including "clones".

So unless Im misreading this you are technically right that it is not considered a "plant", but the rules say a "clone" counts against your plant count as well.

They say container size due to dwc. Nutrients alone constitute medium if in larger than a 2x2x2 container. Bubble cloners can be problematic, must use plain H2O, any nutrients and your tub is then full of medium and it's larger than 2x2x2.

Clones are not counted until they exceed height or container size at which point they are part of your plang count. One could thus start extra clones, have them ready when other plants are harvested and your veg count moves to flower then select best to veg and destroy extras.

So you're saying that aeroponic cloners are ok, because they dont consider plain water a growing medium? Clones that are in rockwool would count against your plant count?

Do you have a link to the definition of "growing medium"? Couldn't find one searching through google.
