Before you decide how many clones to have shipped, decide how many your state lets you own. The two numbers are rarely the same.
Yes, from the moment they exist. Every statute we track counts a rooted cutting as a cannabis plant, so a box of six clones is six plants the day it lands. This trips up more new growers than any other rule, because people assume a limit applies only to flowering plants.
The practical consequence is that your order size is a legal decision, not just a budget one. Six clones is routine in a two-adult Ohio household and two plants over the line in Maryland.
Per-adult caps multiply with the adults in the home, up to a household ceiling. Ohio allows six per adult with a twelve-plant house maximum. Per-household caps do not multiply at all: Maryland's two plants are two whether one adult lives there or four, and Oregon and Virginia work the same way.
Read which type applies before you order. It changes the answer more than any other single fact about your state.
Several states count flowering plants and vegetative plants separately, and that split is a gift to anyone growing from cuttings. Maine is the clearest case: three mature plants, twelve immature, and unlimited seedlings, which explicitly accommodates keeping a clone bench in veg while flowering your best three.
New York and Minnesota use similar tiers with tighter numbers. Where a tier exists, a mother plant and rooted cuttings usually live in the immature column, which is how growers run perpetual harvests inside a small legal cap.
Decide your flowering count, reserve a slot for a mother if you want one, and order exactly what remains. Under a tight cap, every slot argues for a verified female over a seed gamble, which is the entire case for shipping in one sentence.
Our twenty state pages carry the actual caps with statute citations, and the marijuana clones shipped manifest shows what is available today. Check the first, then order from the second.
