The Grateful Nerd Show
Welcome to The Grateful Nerd Collective – a rotating trio of cannabis-centric podcasts where growmies, good vibes, and grassroots culture come together.
The Grateful Nerd Show – Hosted by NerdGrows and The Grateful Gardener, this is your go-to for indoor gardening updates, autoflower experiments, grow tips, and deep dives into the plant and the people who love it.
Havin' a Wonderful Time – Paranoid Grower takes the mic solo to share adventures from the road, cannabis events, and concert stories, all wrapped in raw honesty and stoner wisdom.
The Crew – A roundtable mashup of the Collective’s voices, combining hosts and guests from both shows to shoot the breeze, spark debate, and laugh about everything from grow fails to garden wins.
Whether you're trimming in the tent, driving to a show, or just vibing out, The Grateful Nerd Collective has something for every plant nerd, music head, and homegrown philosopher.

Ep. 13: Cheese | Havin' A Wonderful Time With Paranoid Grower
This week on Havin’ A Wonderful Time, Paranoid is joined by a beloved growmie and community bright spot—Cheese! 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.
