Even if you only grow 3 mature plants it sounds like you are screwed if you harvest more than 2.5 ounces?
I can't say what NYs plant count is, but I thought it was 6 vegging and 6 flowering.
I also thought our weight limit was 5 lbs~!
2.5 ounces~!

Pretty clear they have no clue about how much 3 mature plants could yield.
I grow as many as I can fit in my room or make it from seed to germination.
I think I have 20 in my next round.
This last grow of 8 is the least I have grown since starting again.
