Grateful Nerd Collective

This week it's just the two of us—NerdGrows and The Grateful Gardener—kicking back and diving deep into what we've got going on.We talk all things outdoor garden, including what we're planting, prepping, and hoping to harvest. Grateful shares details on his new cannabis breeding project and the goals behind it, and we both open up about something every creator faces: burnout. The highs, the lows, and how we’re working through it while still chasing the grow life and making content.Shout Out To Alebrije Genetics:  https://www.alebrijegenetics.com/Grateful NerdMerch: https://www.teepublic.com/user/gratefulnerdAll Of Our Links: https://linktr.ee/gratefulnerd

As Avery Aames once said, “Life is great, but Cheese makes it better,” and that couldn’t be more true for this episode.We take a trip down memory lane with stories from Hash Bash 2025—hotbox meetups, scavenger hunts, Bongs and Thongs, meeting legends like OutKast, 417Grows, and even spotting Tommy Chong at the Diag. From the fire cider to the final smoke circle at IHOP, this was a Hash Bash to remember.Cheese also gives us a peek into his garden setup—salts or organics, his favorite equipment, local grow shops, and of course, his journey into cannabis cultivation. We talk autoflowers vs. photoperiods, favorite strains, rookie mistakes, and what keeps him growing even through hard times. Plus, Cheese drops real wisdom for new growers looking to start their first garden.Cheese On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thecheeses_Paranoid Grower On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paranoid_grower/Grateful NerdMerch: https://www.teepublic.com/user/gratefulnerdAll Of Our Links: https://linktr.ee/gratefulnerd
