This week on The Grateful Nerd Show, we’re joined by Alebrije to talk about one of the community’s favorite yearly traditions: making the trip to the Alebrije Pop-Up Party.
We get into how the gathering came together, what makes the Maine trip so special, and how it has grown into something the community looks forward to every year. More than just a party, it’s a chance for people from across the scene to reconnect, meet in real life, and celebrate the culture we’ve all helped build together.

This week on Grateful Nerd, we're taking it easy with a laid-back conversation about everything happening in our lives and gardens.
We kick things off with an update on our outdoor vegetable gardens and what's growing this season before Nerd shares his latest obsession—diving headfirst into the world of pipe tobacco and trying a variety of blends in search of his favorites. Then, with Father's Day fresh in our minds, we have an honest conversation about what it means to be a dad while also being part of the cannabis community, balancing family life, breaking stereotypes, and raising kids with intention.

Listen to Part 2 Over At Phocas Seedcast: https://phocasseeds.com/phocas-seed-cast/This week on The Grateful Nerd Show, we're joined by Phocas Seeds to recap the upcoming annual Grateful Nerd BBQ and meetup, where growers, breeders, and community members come together for a laid-back day of conversation and connection.
We also dive into a topic that generates a lot of discussion in the cultivation community: white label seeds. What are they? How do they fit into the modern seed market? And how has the growing influence of larger corporate interests changed the way seeds are produced, marketed, and sold?
