So this is a reference page, not a planting calendar. Kentuckians with grow operations in legal states use the board to price cuts and compare finishing windows. The state's own climate, long humid summers and a genuine 6-month frost-free window in the west, will be excellent growing country if the law ever catches up to the soil.
The nurseries quoted here ship nationwide as regulated nursery stock; cannabis clones held in vegetative growth test below the 0.3% THC hemp threshold, which is the basis on which live cuttings move between states. What Kentucky law restricts is cultivation, so the honest use for this page is comparing cuts for a grow located where growing is lawful. Orders ship from the nursery in up to 2 weeks, tracked door to door.
Computed for KY
Eight cuts scored against the state's season using the worst case of each flowering range, sized for indoor tents.
Home cultivation is NOT permitted in Kentucky under KRS Chapter 218B, including for registered patients. Recreational possession remains illegal. Clones ship as regulated nursery stock for lawful use in grow-legal jurisdictions.
Shipping is nationwide: clones in veg test under the 0.3% THC hemp threshold and move as nursery stock. Growing them in Kentucky is the part the law restricts; see the legality answer above, which we state without varnish.
For Kentucky conditions the board computes Grape Ape, Purple Punch and Super Skunk 2.0 as top picks, using each cut's worst-case flowering window against the state's real season. The full list of eight is on this page.
