Hydro or Not!

[Nutter3]

Greetings all

In 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!!

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

[merl1n]

My understanding is growing by any artificial means, be that light or artificial nutrients

Growing by 'any enhanced methods'
