An indoor garden: More harvests, but smaller plants
Outdoors: With a typical growing season that lasts from March or April into September or October, outdoor plants have a long time to grow and usually much more space to spread out, so they tend to be larger.
Half the plants grown from cannabis seed are males that are worthless for marijuana.
100 square feet of mature female canopy from seed or clone is harvested at one time outdoors, with a total yield of ±50 ounces (3.1 pounds) of bud to last the entire year.
"The quantity possessed by the patient or the primary caregiver, and the form and manner in which it is possessed, should be reasonably related to the patient's current medical needs."

Jerry Brown To Challenge Court's Ruling on MMJ By Tim Reiterman
CN Source: Los Angeles Times June 05, 2008 San Francisco, CA
State Atty. Gen. Jerry Brown is preparing to challenge a recent appellate court decision that struck down California's guidelines on medical marijuana possession and cultivation, leaving patients and police wondering how much weed is too much. Brown said in an interview this week that he would ask the Supreme Court to overturn last month's by the state Court of Appeal in Los Angeles, because it inhibits the state's attempts to control abuses while protecting legitimate access to cannabis.

In short, there is no ‘confusion’ regarding the legality of California’s pot laws. There is only arrogance and recalcitrance on the part of those who have chosen to abuse their power and position to hamstring the will of the voters, the legislature, and the courts.

Brown Doesn't End Pot Debate

If state Attorney General Jerry Brown's medical-marijuana recommendations released this week were meant to clarify a muddied issue caused by conflicting state and federal law, not all local officials saw the light. Some welcomed Brown's effort to protect legal dispensaries and patients, but others believed the guidelines released Monday were far from the final word.
