Unfortunately, many people are misunderstanding the laws around growing hemp plants in the UK as allowing them to grow cannabis plants containing THC. Hemp plants with no THC are grown to produce fibrous hemp and CBD products, which are legal to grow so long as you have the relevant license.
And so, as to how many cannabis plants you can legally grow for personal use in the UK in 2021, the answer stands at zero. Perhaps the laws will be adjusted in the future, but this is how they are now.

I'd really appreciate it if my previous reply was deleted. The extraneous data around my reply wasn't my doing - it would appear to be a problem with the website on mobile devices. My reply should simply read as follows. Isn't it funny, you can legally grow as many opium poppies as you please, but grow just one non-psychoactive hemp plant, and boom - handcuffs! What absolute madness! UK drug law is an absolute shambles.
