in california (most of it any way) you can have 6 mature and up to 12 immature plants and process up to 8oz of dry bud. Now if you have 6 mature and 6 clones that are still in veg, they still might bust you for having over you legal mature limit, since the clone is as old as the mature plant. It really depends on the judge you get if you get caught and how good of a lawyer you have. I would suggest doing everything in your power to not get caught or draw attention to yourself.
