Grow something you’re proud of, at home.
Whether you’ve never touched a seed or you’re running your third extraction, there’s a place in this community for where you are right now.
This is for adults who want to grow their own cannabis at home — legally, thoughtfully, and well.
Maybe you’re curious but haven’t started yet. Maybe you’ve got a few grows under your belt and want to stop guessing. Maybe you’ve mastered the flower and you’re ready to start making hash. Wherever you are, this is the community and the content built for that exact moment.
The Hobby Grow
A weekly publication for home cannabis cultivators — written and recorded by someone who’s in the grow room alongside you.
2,700+ subscribers. Practical, honest growing content every week. No fluff, no brand deals, no watered-down advice. Just what’s actually working, in real home grows, from someone who’s been doing this since 2019.
Covers the full spectrum: first grows and seed selection, IPM and pest prevention, harvest and drying and curing, post-harvest processing, solventless extraction, and everything in between. Including the Hobby Grow Podcast, featuring real conversations between Ben and his network of growers and industry professionals.
