New York's home-grow rights arrived with the MRTA and the mail is how most of the state's cuts actually arrive: the licensed stores sell flower, not verified genetics, and the serious clone selection ships in from nurseries like the ones this board quotes.
Boxes reach New York City, Buffalo, Syracuse and the rest of New York as tracked nursery stock. Orders ship from the nursery in up to 2 weeks, tracked door to door. Every cut ships as a fully rooted clone, 8-12" tall. Upstate: order late April. NYC tents: any month, which is the timing that keeps an arriving clone from waiting indoors or meeting a frost.

City growers receive year-round; a box to a Brooklyn walk-up needs nothing but somebody home to bring it inside. Upstate follows the frost calendar: last frost clears the Hudson Valley in mid-May and the Adirondack fringe two weeks later, so an order placed in late April lands a hardened plant in the ground on schedule. September ships upstate are for tent growers only; a rooted cut cannot beat a Rochester October outdoors.
