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. We talk about what it takes to grow cannabis outdoors for seed production, how a shared love for soil health and seed saving shaped their farm, and why strong genetics always start with strong plants.
Ben also shares practical tips for outdoor growers, insights on working with autoflowers, and how growing under the sun makes all the difference.
Whether you're just getting started or planning your next season, you’re going to love this one.

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.

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.
