Nutter3 Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Greetings allIn south Australia, if you were to be busted growing a single plant , you would get an on the spot fine , which can be paid at any post office, no court or conviction, same as possesion (small amounts). But apparentely they changed the law on Hydro , were it is an offence to try to grow any this way, which shall require a court apperance & conviction. Can anybody tell me what defines Hydro, if you had a plant in a pot of soil inside with a light hanging over it, is that considered Hydro in the laws view. Or maybe it will depend on the magistrates mood.Ive tried reading the law, but its all to confusing for a nutter!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forgetiwashere Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 I may be wrong but Its growing using advanced means. Under that definition yes in soil under a light indoors qualifies for a heavier penalty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merl1n Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 My understanding is growing by any artificial means, be that light or artificial nutrients Growing by 'any enhanced methods' Merl1n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
