Federal law does not "trump" state law, it is a separate jurisdiction -- semantics, perhaps, but any federal charges would be brought before a jury of Californians, with an uncertain outcome.
The important consideration here is that while 19 does not get into plant limits, which the state declared unconstitutional earlier this year, but regulates grow area size, there is a federal 5 year mandatory minimum jail sentence once you hit 100 plants.
There are a lot of folks, I'll call them "the 99'ers" that worry far more about that number than about anything else -- and a lot of folks that don't know any better.
Oh, and while Brown's guidelines for collectives, which he penned as Atty General, are reasonable and prudent IMHO, Meg = eBay and eBay rocks.
California needs a businesswoman, but it also needs a legal marijuana industry
