Well technically you can grow 12 plants per card medically. If you form a legitimate collective or are a caregiver you can grow 12 per patien DEPENDING ON COUNTY.. So look at NORML's california website, they have a link to the canabisiness law website interactive map. With prop 64, the new rec laws it's not gonna be about plant count, it's gonna be about square footage but since you are from out of state good luck getting a permit, most places are done accepting new permits for the time being. I honestly would just try to go to Oregon to grow if I were you, Cali is making it really hard. i got an amazing deal on my house at $1600 a month to do indoor with permission of my landlord in California. If you wanna do outdoor beyond a few plants expect to pay $3-4000 a month, often times they want you to pay off a year in full so it's like $40,000 but usually that will give you free reign to grow as much as you want... If you are from out of state just remember you need to get patients if you wanna grow and if you want to start a collective, the only semi-legal way to grow 99+ plants right now, you need patients. Many people just grow illegally and pretend to be medical growers... they really only have time to bust the larger ones anyways but if it's in a strictly no-grow county they will come after you (I.E. Shasta county is pretty bad for Nor-Cal). Theres TONS of land for sale and lease in Cali on Craigslist that says 215 friendly (prop 215 is the medical marijuana law), 420 grow friendly etc and may even be already be set up but BEWARE!, it is often because the law just changed so people are getting rid of their now illegal grow sites. I would go to oregon because you can grow 48 plants as a caregiver. You need to be a resident for 2 years to be a caregiver but you may be able to find someone who has lived there for a while to sign the paperwork. Josephine county has even said they aren't going after illegal grows unless they get a serious complaint from someone like your nosey neighbors but if it's in the illinois valley, everyone grows, it's like humboldt in oregon.. if you at least look legit you will be fine. any other questions?
