Kloud 9 Gardenz L.L.C. has been licensed as an adult-use cultivator in New York under license number OCM-CULT-26-000256, according to the state license roster. The activation brings New York's total active cultivation licenses to 244 operators.

The licensing occurs on a day marked by significant roster turnover: six cultivation or manufacturing licenses were deactivated, including Nicless LLC, Catskill Food Company LLC, and Lifted NY Corp., while three new manufacturing licenses and one new retail license were also issued. Two existing operations underwent ownership name changes.

The activity suggests ongoing consolidation and operational churn in New York's mature adult-use market. Watch whether the net cultivation count stabilizes or continues to trend downward as the state's 436 pending applications progress.
