5 Ways We Can Make The Grow Community More Welcoming To Beginners

Perfectionism is a MAJOR issue in cannabis social media.

Larger accounts only posting the best of the best of their “perfect” plants.

5 Ways We Can Make The Grow Community More Welcoming To Beginners

2. Sharing successes as well as failures
3. Approaching discussion without ego
4. Productive conversation ( instead of “constructive” criticism)
5. Treating new growers like we wish we were treated
