Five steps stand between a mother plant in a nursery and a rooted clone in your tent. None of them are mysterious, and knowing all five is what separates a grower who orders on the right date from one who wonders why the box came late.
Cuts are taken to order rather than pulled from a shelf. A fresh cutting needs time under humidity to build the root mass that survives a box, and any nursery promising instant dispatch on live cuttings is either shipping aging stock or under-rooted plants. Treat the up-to-2-week window as quality control rather than delay.
A rooted plant 8-12 inches tall, secured in medium, braced so it cannot thrash, in packaging built for a multi-day dark ride. It arrives thirsty and droopy, which is transit fatigue and not damage. Ten minutes of unpacking and a gentle day later it is growing again.
Click to soil is about three weeks: rooting and dispatch, transit, then a week of hardening off before an outdoor plant meets real sun. Every state page on this site prints that arithmetic against local frost dates, which is the single most useful number an outdoor grower can have.
Clones ship to all fifty states as nursery stock because vegetative plants test below the 0.3% THC hemp threshold. Cultivation legality is a separate question with a different answer in every state, and the ship-to checker on our front page gives you yours in one click.
