What is ILGM Grow Club?

Let's face it, the biggest barrier holding most back from trying to home grow is the fear they're going to screw it up.

That’s where the ILGM Grow Club comes in. We’re like a support group… but for plant lovers aiming to keep their cannabis surviving and thriving.

Equal parts expert-led grow workshops, social sessions, and a full, multi-week accelerator program, Grow Club is launching a series of Community-focused events designed to help ensure the success of your plants. By attending Grow Club, you're walking away with free seeds, free cannabis, and hopefully, some new friends as well. 

Attend weekly check-ins, leverage our Mentor network for 1:1 troubleshooting, and meet monthly in-person to learn tips and tricks - directly from the masters. 

Grow Club Activities

Expert led workshops

Grow Club offers expert-led workshops that walk you through everything from backyard basics to patio plant hacks. These hands-on sessions are designed to give growers the knowledge they wish they’d had before planting their first seed.

People gathered outside a greenhouse, mingling and socializing. Trees and plants surround the area, creating a lively outdoor atmosphere.

Social sessions with the Community

Beyond the garden, Grow Club brings people together with community-driven social events where members connect, share stories, and walk away with free seeds, cannabis, and new friends. It’s a chance to grow your network while your plants thrive.

Weekly check-ins with Mentors

Growers can participate in weekly check-ins and get direct, personalized troubleshooting from experienced mentors. These regular touchpoints help ensure your grow stays on track and thriving.

Become a Mentor

If you're a home grow expert, we want YOU to serve as a Grow Club Mentor.

In exchange for taking a few minutes out of your day to share your expert guidance with our budding, beginner growers, you'll earn complimentary tickets to Grow Club events, along with freebies (seeds, swag), and opportunities to step up as a national leader to share your knowledge on a wider scale - and get paid doing it.

Every location has its nuances, so there is nothing more valuable than a local expert who understands how to optimize a grow for its unique environment. 

Giving back has never felt so rewarding.
