How many plants can I grow? (FAQ)

Plant-count questions answered: how the formula works, indoor vs outdoor, and why the maximum is rarely the right target.

How is my plant count decided?

By a formula in section 325 of the Cannabis Regulations that converts your authorized daily amount (grams per day) into a number of plants, with separate figures for indoor and outdoor growing. Your registration certificate states the number.

How many plants is 1, 3, or 5 grams a day?

It scales up quickly, and indoor allows more than outdoor for the same amount. Rather than memorize it, use our calculator — move the slider to your daily amount to see indoor, outdoor, and combined counts at once.

Why are indoor and outdoor counts different?

A big outdoor plant is assumed to yield more over a year than an indoor one, so the formula allows more indoor plants and fewer outdoor plants for the same daily amount.

Should I ask for the highest plant count I can get?

No. A higher count means a bigger, costlier grow and more scrutiny. In 2026, inflated amounts are a leading cause of refusals and revocations. Aim for what your practitioner can defend.

What if I grow more plants than my certificate allows?

That is a serious compliance violation that can cost you the registration. Always count honestly and stay within the number on your certificate.
