Grateful Nerd Collective
Welcome to 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.
