Quick Snapshot

Cannabis clones — rooted live cuttings from elite mother plants — are the fastest route to a known-genetics harvest in Nevada’s brutal desert climate. The good news: clones are fully legal in Nevada. The catch: Nevada has the most restrictive home cultivation rule in any recreational-legal state — you can only grow at home if you live more than 25 miles from an operating dispensary, with a 6-plants-per-person and 12-plants-per-household maximum. Most of Las Vegas, Reno, Henderson, Carson City, Sparks, and the I-15/I-80 corridors fall inside the 25-mile zone, which means most Nevadans cannot legally home grow.

If you do qualify — rural Lincoln County, parts of Esmeralda County, White Pine County, far northern Elko County — clones are a smart play for the desert. They skip the 3-week germination phase and let you front-load growth before the summer 110°F+ furnace kicks in. If you don’t qualify, the federal Farm Bill framework still allows you to legally receive hemp-compliant clones for collection and preservation purposes.

This guide covers Nevada’s legal complexity (yes, the 25-mile rule deserves its own section), the heat-and-UV strategy for clones in the Mojave, transplant protocols, HpLVd screening, the elite cuts that suit Vegas’s two-season approach, and city-by-city timing for Las Vegas, Reno, Henderson, Carson City, Sparks, Pahrump, Elko, and rural Nevada.

Why Buy Clones Instead of Seeds in Nevada?

Nevada is a clone state. Here’s why:

The heat math. Las Vegas summers regularly exceed 110°F. Cannabis plants don’t really grow well above 90°F — they go into survival mode, stomata close, photosynthesis slows. The successful Vegas outdoor strategy is to front-load vegetative growth in the mild spring (February through May) and finish flowering in the cool fall (September through November), skipping the worst summer heat. Clones give you a 3-week head start on that vegetative phase. That’s the difference between a finished plant and a survivor.

The northern Nevada cold math. Reno, Carson City, and high-desert locations have short cool seasons. Clones skip germination, which matters when your frost-free window is 95-155 days.

The phenotype certainty. Heat tolerance is a phenotype trait, not just a strain trait. Two seeds labeled “Durban Poison” might give you one that thrives at 110°F and one that crisps at 95°F. Clones from a verified heat-tolerant mother give you certainty that the plant you’re starting with has the trait you need. In the desert, phenotype hunting is expensive — water, time, electricity, and dead plants add up fast.

Factor Cannabis Seeds Cannabis Clones
Time to harvest +3–4 weeks (germination + sex check) Immediate — already vegging
Genetic certainty Phenotype variation between seeds Identical to cloning-cannabis-plants-a-complete-guide/”>mother plant
Sex Even feminized seeds rarely 100% female Always female
Vigor Strong tap root, more resilient No tap root, more transplant-sensitive
Heat tolerance Strain-dependent + lottery Verified through mother grow-outs
Best for Long shelf life, breeding, autoflowers Replicating proven heat-tolerant cuts, indoor SOG

The case for seeds in Nevada is mainly autoflowers (which don’t clone usefully — they have their own internal clock and don’t care about your light schedule) and breeding projects. For everyone else growing under the 25-mile rule, clones win.


Legal Status of Cannabis Clones in Nevada

Nevada legalized recreational cannabis through Question 2 in November 2016, with sales beginning July 1, 2017. The current framework is Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 678A-C, administered by the Nevada Cannabis Compliance Board (CCB).

Possession Limits (Adults 21+)

  • Flower: 2.5 ounces per transaction
  • Concentrate: 0.25 ounces (about 7 grams)
  • Edibles: Subject to potency caps

The 25-Mile Rule (Home Cultivation)

This is the headline issue for Nevada clone buyers. Adults 21+ can legally grow cannabis at home only if:

  • Their residence is more than 25 miles from an operating retail cannabis store
  • They grow no more than 6 plants per person
  • Household total does not exceed 12 plants

Plants must be in an enclosed, locked space not visible from public spaces.

Because Nevada’s dispensaries cluster around Las Vegas, Reno, Carson City, Henderson, and the I-15/I-80 corridors, most Nevada residents are inside the 25-mile zone and therefore cannot legally home grow. This isn’t an obscure technicality — it’s the central reality of Nevada home cultivation law and it catches new residents off guard constantly.

Who Qualifies for Home Grow?

You’re likely outside the 25-mile zone if you live in:
– Rural Lincoln County (Caliente, Pioche, Panaca area)
– Most of Esmeralda County (Goldfield, Silver Peak)
– Northern Nye County (Tonopah area — check current dispensary locations)
– Parts of White Pine County (Ely area)
– Far northern Elko County
– Far northwest Humboldt County
– Most of Eureka County

You’re likely inside the 25-mile zone (no home grow) if you live in:
– Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, Boulder City, Mesquite, Laughlin
– Reno, Sparks, Carson City, Gardnerville, Minden
– Pahrump (depending on current dispensary status)
– Elko (the town itself, not the surrounding county)
– Most of the I-15 and I-80 corridors

Verify your specific address using current dispensary locations from the Nevada Cannabis Compliance Board’s licensee maps. The 25-mile zones shift as new dispensaries open or existing ones close. A new dispensary opening 20 miles away can turn a legal home grow into a state-level crime overnight.

Medical Patient Rules

Registered medical patients have higher purchase limits but the same 25-mile home grow rule. Medical status doesn’t unlock cultivation in the zone.

Tribal Considerations

Nevada has 27 tribal nations including several with their own cannabis programs. Cannabis legality on tribal land varies from state law. Verify with tribal authority.

Cannabis Seeds and Clones Under Federal Law

Cannabis seeds and clones with less than 0.3% Δ9-THC at shipment are classified as hemp under the federal 2018 Farm Bill (7 U.S. Code § 1639o). All Nevada adults 21+ can legally receive these shipments regardless of the 25-mile rule. For Nevadans inside the 25-mile zone, clones can be received for collection, preservation, and educational purposes.

Federal Section 781 — November 2026

A federal provision (Section 781) takes effect November 12, 2026, redefining hemp to exclude seeds from plants capable of producing high-THC cannabis. Interstate shipping of most cannabis seeds becomes federally illegal after that date. Nevadans building genetic libraries should stock up before then.


How Cannabis Clones Ship to Nevada Legally

A cannabis clone is a vegetative cutting taken from a mother before flowering. At shipment, Δ9-THC content is below 0.3% by dry weight — classifying the clone as hemp under federal law.

Practically:

  1. Seeds Here Now ships clones to all Nevada ZIP codes via USPS/UPS/FedEx
  2. Packaging is plain and discreet with seasonal thermal protection (critical for Vegas summer — we use insulated shipping in summer months)
  3. Receiving is legal under federal hemp law
  4. Growing into a mature THC-producing plant is legal only if you qualify under Nevada’s 25-mile home grow rule

For inside-the-zone customers, the clone serves the same legitimate collection-and-preservation role that cannabis seeds do.


roots cannabis clone

How Cannabis Clones Are Made (and Why Mother Plant Provenance Matters)

A cannabis clone is created by:

  1. Selecting a mother plant — a known female with proven genetics
  2. Taking a cutting — 4–6 inches from a healthy branch with at least one node
  3. Hormone treatment — cut end dipped in rooting hormone (Clonex, Olivia’s)
  4. Rooting medium — rockwool, root cube, or aeroponic cloner
  5. Rooting period — 7–14 days under humidity dome
  6. Hardening off — gradual exposure to lower humidity and stronger light

Elite Cuts and Why They Matter for Vegas Heat

Heat tolerance is a phenotype trait. Two seeds labeled “Durban Poison” can produce one plant that thrives in 110°F and another that crisps at 95°F. Clones from a proven heat-tolerant mother give you certainty that the plant you’re starting with has the trait you need.

This is why serious Vegas growers default to clones — phenotype hunting in the desert is expensive in plants, water, electricity, and time. A failed Durban pheno in Vegas summer isn’t a learning moment, it’s a $30 cut plus three months of grow medium, water bills, and electricity, all walked back to zero.

We work with breeders whose mothers have been verified through grow-outs in Southwest US conditions. Provenance isn’t a marketing term, it’s the difference between a $30 cut that finishes 4 ounces of dense flower and a $30 cut that surrenders to August.


unboxing cannabis clone

Receiving Your Nevada Clone Shipment: First-24-Hours Protocol

For Vegas customers especially, the receiving phase is more important than anywhere else in the country. A summer afternoon in Vegas can hit 115°F on a porch. That’s lethal to a clone within hours. We’ve heard the heartbreak stories — clone box on the porch for four hours while the customer was at work, opened to find a cooked plant.

Step 1: Plan the Delivery Window

For Nevada summer shipments (June-September), we ship Monday-Tuesday with priority service to minimize transit. Be home for the delivery or arrange a hold at your local post office. Don’t let the box bake. We can’t ship around your work schedule if you’re not coordinating with us.

Step 2: Unbox Immediately

Move the clone indoors to climate control as fast as possible. The box itself has insulation but is not refrigeration — it’s a delay tactic, not a solution.

Step 3: Inspect for Damage

  • Yellowing/wilting leaves — minor shipping stress, recoverable
  • Black or mushy stem base — root rot, contact us within 24 hours for replacement
  • Pests — quarantine immediately
  • Crispy leaves with brown edges — heat damage from transit, may still recover but document with photos

Heat damage looks like the plant ran a marathon in winter clothes. It’s recoverable if the meristem (growing tip) is intact, dead if the stem itself has gone limp and gray.

Step 4: Acclimate to Climate Control

Place in a low-light environment at 70–75°F and 60–70% humidity for 24 hours. Air conditioning is your friend in Vegas. Do not put the clone outside or in direct sun. Vegas ambient humidity in summer can drop to 10-15% — a humidity dome or simple plastic bag tent helps the clone bridge that.

Step 5: Light Watering

Slightly moist starter cube, pH-adjusted water (5.8–6.2 for rockwool, 6.0–6.5 for soil). Foliar mist helps shipping recovery.

Step 6: Quarantine

Seven-day quarantine before introducing to any existing plants. Yes, even from us. Nevada’s dry climate means imported pests can establish fast if you skip this step. Spider mites love Vegas.


transplant cannabis clone

How to Transplant a Cannabis Clone (Complete Guide)

Transplant is where most beginners lose clones. Done right, non-event. Done wrong, dead $30 cut.

When to Transplant

  • White roots visibly emerging from starter cube
  • Clone has been vegging 5–7 days post-arrival with new growth
  • 1-gallon pot first, not 5-gallon

What You Need

  • 1-gallon fabric pot or plastic pot with drainage
  • Quality cannabis potting mix (Roots Organic Original, FoxFarm Ocean Forest)
  • pH-balanced water (6.0–6.5)
  • Mycorrhizal inoculant (Great White, MykoBoost) — cheap upgrade
  • For Vegas specifically: extra perlite for drainage and root cooling
  • Mulch (pine bark, straw) for summer protection

Step-by-Step

  1. Pre-moisten the new pot’s soil the day before
  2. Dig a hole the size of the starter cube
  3. Add mycorrhizae
  4. Plant the cube directly — do not disturb the root mass
  5. Cube top level with soil — don’t bury the stem
  6. Backfill gently
  7. Water lightly
  8. Reduce light for first 48 hours
  9. Watch the first 7 days closely

Vegas-Specific Notes

  • Use fabric pots — they breathe and prevent root zone overheating in summer
  • Add extra perlite to your mix (25–30% by volume) for drainage in heavy summer watering
  • Mulch the soil surface to slow evaporation and moderate root temperature
  • Avoid black pots in direct sun — they cook the root zone, period
  • Light-colored or white fabric pots reflect heat
  • Drip irrigation at the soil surface beats overhead watering for evaporative loss

Common Mistakes

  • Overwatering — drowns the tiny root mass
  • Burying the stem — causes rot
  • Cold water — root shock
  • Hot light too soon — step up over a week
  • Skipping mycorrhizae
  • Vegas-specific: placing pots on hot concrete patios without insulation between — pots become ovens

hardening cannabis clone

Hardening Off Clones for Nevada Outdoor Cultivation

Indoor-grown clones cannot go straight outside in Nevada. The UV at Vegas and Mojave Desert latitudes is among the highest in the continental US — an unhardened clone gets fried in hours. The hardening-off process takes 7–10 days, and in Nevada summer might take longer:

  • Days 1–2: Dappled shade outside, 1–2 hours, morning only (avoid midday Vegas sun entirely)
  • Days 3–4: Partial sun, 3–4 hours
  • Days 5–6: Half day outside, including some direct morning sun (avoid 11am–3pm midday)
  • Days 7–8: Full day outside, shade cloth recommended in summer
  • Days 9–10: Outside overnight if temperatures are reasonable

For Vegas summer, shade cloth (30–50%) over outdoor plants is not optional. It’s the difference between a plant that grows and a plant that survives. The sun in the Mojave does not care that you paid $30 for the cut.


hplvd cannabis clone

Hop Latent Viroid (HpLVd) — Critical for Nevada’s Commercial Garden Density

If you’ve been in cannabis less than five years, you may not have encountered HpLVd. If you’ve been in Nevada commercial cultivation, you’ve seen it gut gardens. Hop latent viroid is the most economically devastating cannabis pathogen of the past decade.

What Is HpLVd?

A single-stranded RNA viroid that infects cannabis and hops. Causes “dudding disease” — stunted growth, reduced trichome production, smaller yields, weaker terpenes. Plants look fine from a distance but produce 30-50% less. Transmits through mechanical contact (scissors, hands) and through cuttings.

Why Nevada Cares

Nevada’s licensed commercial cultivation industry is dense. A single infected clone moved between operations can degrade yields industry-wide. Nevada serious growers screen for HpLVd because the economic stakes are real. The cuts circulating in the Vegas commercial market have been through HpLVd-screening protocols for years now — clean cuts are the standard, dirty cuts are how operations get burned.

Our Mitigation

We work only with breeders and clone producers who maintain documented HpLVd-screening protocols (PCR or RT-qPCR testing of mother stock). Ask for HpLVd test documentation if it matters to your operation.

Tissue Culture — Gold Standard

Tissue culture clones (regenerated from single cells in sterile lab conditions) eliminate HpLVd entirely. Higher cost, worth it for serious cultivators. Ask about availability — tissue culture lines are limited and priced higher than standard rooted clones.


USDA Plant Hardiness Zones in Nevada

Nevada has one of the widest USDA zone ranges of any state — 4a through 10a on the 2023 map.

Region USDA Zone Avg. Winter Low Major Cities
Las Vegas Valley 9a–10a 20°F to 30°F Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas
Southern desert 8b–9a 15°F to 25°F Pahrump, Boulder City, Mesquite, Laughlin
Reno/Carson Valley 6b–7a -5°F to 5°F Reno, Sparks, Carson City, Gardnerville
Northern desert basins 6a–7a -10°F to 5°F Elko, Winnemucca, Ely
High mountain valleys 4a–5b -30°F to -10°F High elevation pockets above 7,000 feet

Growing seasons vary wildly — Las Vegas has nearly 300 frost-free days; northern mountain valleys under 100.


Nevada Outdoor Clone Calendar: City-by-City

Las Vegas (Zone 9a–10a, Frost-free ~285 days)

The Vegas strategy is fundamentally different from anywhere else. Outdoor growing has two seasons because summer is unworkable:

Spring cycle:
February 1–15: Receive clones during mild winter
February 15–March 1: Transplant to 1-gallon
March 1–10: Begin hardening off
March 15: Outdoor (no real frost risk)
April–May: Vegetative growth
June–August: Survival mode — heavy shade cloth, mulch, pre-dawn watering
September: Plants recover
October–early November: Harvest before any frost risk

Fall cycle (preferred by many Vegas growers):
August: Receive clones, indoor recovery during peak heat
September: Hardening off as temperatures drop
September 15: Outdoor
October–November: Vegetative
November–January: Flowering (mild winter)
January–February: Harvest

Henderson (Zone 9a, Frost-free ~280 days)

Functionally identical to Las Vegas timing. Slightly cooler than central Vegas by 2–3°F in summer.

North Las Vegas (Zone 9a–10a, Frost-free ~285 days)

Same as Las Vegas. Possibly the hottest part of the metro depending on neighborhood.

Reno (Zone 6b–7a, Frost-free ~155 days)

Treat as high-desert continental:
Mid-April: Receive clones
Late April: Transplant
Early-mid May: Hardening off
May 20–25: Outdoor after frost (May 5–15)
September–early October: Harvest

Sparks (Zone 6b–7a, Frost-free ~155 days)

Treat identical to Reno timing.

Carson City (Zone 6b–7a, Frost-free ~145 days)

  • Late April: Receive
  • Early May: Transplant
  • Mid-May: Hardening off
  • Memorial Day: Outdoor after frost (May 10–20)
  • Early October: Harvest

Pahrump (Zone 8b–9a, Frost-free ~225 days)

  • March: Receive clones
  • Late March–early April: Transplant
  • April: Hardening off
  • April 15: Outdoor (frost ends mid-March to April 1)
  • June–August: Heat management (Pahrump runs slightly cooler than Vegas but still brutal)
  • November: Harvest

Elko (Zone 6b, Frost-free ~95 days)

Short cool season:
Late May: Receive
Early June: Transplant
Mid-June: Hardening off
June 15: Outdoor (frost ends June 1–15)
Early September: Harvest target

Mesquite (Zone 8b–9a, Frost-free ~250 days)

Treat similar to Pahrump timing but slightly longer season.

Laughlin (Zone 9a–10a, Frost-free ~280 days)

Treat as Las Vegas timing. Laughlin gets brutal summer river-valley heat — possibly hotter than Vegas central.

Boulder City (Zone 9a, Frost-free ~275 days)

Treat as Las Vegas timing.

Rural/Mountain Nevada (Zone 4a–5b)

Indoor or greenhouse only. Outdoor cycle too short for clones. The Great Basin high desert above 6,500 feet doesn’t have a workable photoperiod outdoor window.

Best Cannabis Strains for Nevada

Las Vegas / Southern Nevada — Heat-Tolerant Required

Durban Poison — pure landrace sativa from South Africa. Thrives in heat and intense UV. Vegas classic. There’s a reason every serious Vegas outdoor grower has Durban in rotation.

Acapulco Gold — Mexican landrace, heat-tolerant, sativa effect, finishes mid-to-late October. Authentic Acapulco Gold cuts are harder to find than the name suggests — provenance matters.

Tangie — California citrus sativa that handles Southwestern heat better than most modern hybrids. The terpene profile holds up in heat where some cuts go flat.

Critical Mass — surprisingly heat-tolerant, big yields, finishes earlier than many sativas.

OG Kush — multiple clone-only cuts (Larry, Tahoe, SFV) all do well in arid heat. Vegas OG cultivation tradition goes back to the late 90s.

Sour Diesel — finishes well in Vegas, handles heat acceptably.

Reno / Carson / Northern Nevada — Cool-Night Performers

Northern Lights — fast flowering, sturdy, cold-tolerant for cool nights.

Hindu Kush — landrace, drought-tolerant, handles diurnal temperature swings. Bred for high-altitude conditions similar to northern Nevada.

Blueberry — cool-night performer, finishes fast.

Durban Poison — handles dry climate at both temperature extremes.

Indoor — Full Catalog

Vegas summer makes indoor cultivation challenging (heavy AC load), but reasonable electricity costs (~12 cents/kWh) help. Indoor strain selection isn’t climate-limited:

  • GG #4 (Original Glue) — clone-only, extremely resin-heavy
  • Wedding Cake / Sunset Sherbert / Triangle Kush — modern clone-only lineages
  • Zkittlez — flavor-driven cut
  • OG Kush cuts — Vegas indoor staple

What to Avoid

  • Pure equatorial sativas (Thai, Malawi) — long flower times don’t suit Vegas’s two-season approach
  • Cool-climate strains (Frisian Dew, certain northern indicas) — don’t enjoy Vegas summer at all
  • Stretchy hybrids — windy spring conditions in Vegas damage tall plants

Local Considerations for Nevada Growers

Heat (Las Vegas)

The dominant factor. Strategies:
Shade cloth (30–50%) for July–August
Mulch heavily — pine bark, straw, anything to slow evaporation
Water at dawn — before 6am ideally
Fabric pots to prevent root zone overheating
Light-colored pots if not in ground (avoid black plastic)
Drip irrigation beats overhead watering for evaporative efficiency

Water

Nevada is the most arid state in the country. Drip irrigation essentially mandatory. Vegas tap water is hard (high mineral content) — RO filtration recommended for sensitive applications. Reno water from the Truckee is softer but still benefits from filtration.

UV Intensity

The highest in the continental US. Beneficial for trichome production but harsh on delicate phenotypes. Strain selection should account for it. High-altitude Vegas (areas above 3,000 feet) gets even more UV than the valley floor.

Wind

Spring and fall winds across the Great Basin are significant. Stake plants. Particularly tough on clones with no tap root. Northern Nevada winds can sustain 30+ mph for days during spring fronts.

Soil

Nevada native soil is typically alkaline, low in organic matter, often rocky. Container cultivation is the cleanest path. If using ground beds, heavy compost amendment required and pH testing essential.

Pests

  • Spider mites — thrive in hot dry conditions, Vegas indoor cultivation needs careful management
  • Aphids — common
  • Grasshoppers — northern Nevada
  • Whiteflies — heat-driven outbreaks
  • Thrips — increasingly common in commercial gardens

Wildlife

  • Coyotes — won’t eat plants but will tear through gardens chasing rabbits
  • Deer — rural Nevada outdoor cultivation requires fencing
  • Rabbits — eat young clones at ground level

Dust

Nevada wind kicks up dust constantly. Dust on leaves blocks photosynthesis. Wash plants periodically (gentle hose at base of leaves, not flowers) or accept some yield loss.


indoor cannabis clone

Indoor Cultivation in Nevada

Nevada’s hot summers make indoor cultivation challenging (heavy cooling load) but viable. Winter indoor grows are easier and cheaper than summer. Cheap electricity helps, but in Vegas summer your AC and dehumidifier work overtime. Plan for it in your budget.

For Nevadans outside the 25-mile zone with the 6-plant limit, indoor allows precise control and predictable yields. For those inside the zone — indoor is your future market if Nevada ever relaxes the 25-mile rule.

Clones suit indoor cultivation extremely well — predictable phenotype lets you dial in nutrient schedules, light intensity, and timing precisely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are cannabis clones legal in Nevada?

Yes. Cannabis clones with less than 0.3% Δ9-THC are classified as hemp under the federal 2018 Farm Bill and can be received by any Nevada adult 21+. Growing them into mature plants is legal only for adults 21+ who live more than 25 miles from an operating dispensary, with a 6-plants-per-person, 12-plants-per-household maximum.

Does Nevada’s 25-mile rule apply to clones?

The 25-mile rule applies to home cultivation of any cannabis — whether grown from seed, clone, or transplant. If you’re inside the 25-mile zone, you cannot legally cultivate. Receiving clones for collection and preservation purposes remains legal.

How do I know if I’m inside the 25-mile zone?

Check current dispensary locations on the Nevada Cannabis Compliance Board’s licensee maps. Measure from your residence to the nearest operating retail cannabis store. The zone shifts as new dispensaries open or close.

How are clones shipped to Las Vegas in summer heat?

We use insulated shipping with thermal protection during summer months (June-September) and ship Monday-Tuesday with priority service. Be home for delivery or arrange a post office hold — porch sitting in 115°F kills clones.

What strains grow best in Las Vegas?

Heat-tolerant landrace and landrace-derived strains: Durban Poison, Acapulco Gold, Tangie, Critical Mass, OG Kush cuts. Strain selection matters more in Vegas than almost anywhere else.

Can I grow outdoors year-round in Las Vegas?

Effectively yes, but in two seasons. Spring (March-June planting, harvest October-November) and fall (September planting, harvest January-February). Summer outdoor cultivation is survival mode unless you have heavy shade infrastructure.

What USDA zone is Nevada in?

Nevada spans USDA zones 4a through 10a — one of the widest ranges of any US state. Las Vegas is 9a-10a. Reno is 6b-7a. Northern mountain valleys are 4a-5b.

Do you ship to Reno and northern Nevada?

Yes, we ship to every Nevada ZIP code. Northern Nevada shipments don’t need the same summer thermal protection as Las Vegas.

What’s HpLVd?

Hop Latent Viroid — cannabis pathogen causing reduced yields and vigor, spread through cuttings. We use HpLVd-screened mother stock. Tissue culture clones are the cleanest source.

Do you offer tissue culture clones?

Yes, from select breeders. Ask about availability — tissue culture lines are limited and priced higher than standard rooted clones.

What’s the November 2026 deadline?

Federal Section 781 takes effect November 12, 2026, redefining hemp to exclude high-THC plant seeds. Interstate seed shipping becomes federally illegal. Stock genetics before then.

Can medical patients home grow inside the 25-mile zone?

No. Medical status does not unlock home cultivation in the zone. The 25-mile rule applies equally to medical and recreational users.

Do you offer summer thermal protection?

Yes — Vegas summer shipments include insulated thermal packaging at no additional cost. We ship Monday-Tuesday in summer to minimize transit and avoid weekend delays.
