She Grows At Home – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Before I ever planted a seed, I was a longtime cannabis consumer. But after a freak accident and a prescription that left me feeling totally out of it, I became a medical patient—and everything changed.

In this first episode, I’m sharing how I went from budtender to backyard grower, how that first homegrow completely shifted my connection to the plant, and what led me to launch Seednest and create She Grows at Home.

We’ll talk about the power of growing your own, why more women are turning to cannabis, and why home cultivation matters now more than ever.

Let’s get into it.

With home cultivation now legal in more than 20 states, more people than ever are growing their own cannabis—or thinking about it. But getting started can feel overwhelming. What do you need? How do you grow in your space? That’s exactly why I created this podcast.

I’m sharing why She Grows at Home exists, what you can expect, and why women are playing a bigger role than ever in cannabis. We’ll talk about home growing, cannabis culture, industry shifts, and the real conversations we don’t always get to have on social media.

Hey, it’s Alicia, and in this episode of She Grows at Home, we’re keeping it simple and beginner-friendly. If you’ve ever been curious about growing your own cannabis, or have a friend or family member who’s asked you about it, this is the episode to share.

We’re talking about the very beginning of the journey:

• Why more people are growing their own

• What you actually need to get started

• Feminized vs. regular seeds (and why it matters)

• The difference between autoflowers and photoperiods

• How to pick the right strain for what you want

• A quick and easy germination method

• What to expect in those early stages

• Plus: a few easy prep steps to take now, even if it’s still too early to plant outside

If you're brand new to this, I promise—this episode won’t overwhelm you. It’s meant to be supportive, informative, and something you can come back to whenever you’re ready to start. We’ll be going deeper in future episodes, but this one lays the foundation.

In this episode, we’re taking you behind the scenes with Ben Samuelson from Seed & Soil, the farm behind many of the seeds we carry at Seednest.

Ben also shares practical tips for outdoor growers, insights on working with autoflowers, and how growing under the sun makes all the difference.

This week on She Grows At Home, we’re stepping outside and getting grounded with Keelin and Nora of Great Hill Growers, a small team in Vermont growing cannabis with deep respect for the land, the plant, and the process.

Whether you're starting your first outdoor grow or looking to reconnect with nature through your cultivation practice, this episode is for you.

Keelin and Nora share how their background in sustainable agriculture shapes their low-input, outdoor approach—growing in greenhouses, working with the rhythms of the season, and tuning into their plants to guide decisions. We talk about learning as you go, growing simply, and trusting nature as your co-pilot.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• How Great Hill Growers built their farm using natural practices and minimal off-farm inputs

• Tips on greenhouse growing, seed selection, and hardening off plants

• Why quality soil is more important than high-end nutrients

• How growing outdoors helps you reconnect—with nature and yourself

• A few of their favorite strains to grow (some you might recognize from the Seednest catalog)

• Real talk about Vermont’s legal cannabis market and what keeps them going
