I think they will leave it to 4 plants for recreational and the width doesn't matter the total height will. But I really can't see them going to your house to measure the plant because it is 2 inches too tall or whatever.
The idea is they have to give you the option to grow for personal but not for sale.
The max limit for possession in a household will be interesting too. 4 plants can grow 8 oz pretty easily.
I'm sorry to interrupt this program..but that guideline is literally moronic. Plants born on 12/12 can easily grow past 4 feet.
