Founding Member Challenges | Week 5

Founding Members Challenge – Week 5 of 6

Hi everyone,

We’re nearly at the finish line with our Founding Members Challenge. With just this week and next week to go, we’re starting to bring this first chapter to a close. Last week’s challenge asked a little more of your time, so this week we’re keeping things a bit lighter.

Everyone who has been joining in is on track to earn their Founding Member badge, collect loyalty points to spend in our store, and be in with a chance of winning our Founding Members Merch Pack.

And if you’ve missed a week or two, it’s not too late to catch up and still be part of it.

Before we get into this week’s activity, I want to give a special mention to @og_growgirl_sfv , @SweetsensiWA , @Fritzbotanicals , @queenofbliss and @Bongo who are currently leading the way with their contributions. Thank you for showing up, joining in, and helping shape the kind of community this is becoming.


Week 5 Challenge: Highlight Helpful Answers

A strong community grows through shared knowledge.

One of the best things about bringing growers together is seeing people take the time to help one another — whether that’s answering a question clearly, sharing experience, or offering guidance that helps someone else learn with more confidence.

This week, we’d love you to spend some time exploring the threads in the Growing and Learning category.

As you read, choose two posts that you feel offer especially useful or thoughtful answers to other members.

To nominate a post, simply reply directly to it saying “Helpful Answer”. This helps us highlight the responses that stand out for their clarity, relevance, or real experience.

Our team will then review nominations and, where appropriate, mark standout responses as solutions so they can continue helping others over time.

Over time, these highlighted answers will help shape a shared knowledge base for the community — built from genuine discussion, practical insight, and growers learning from each other.

Every challenge you complete helps build your place in the community and brings you one step closer to your Founding Member rewards.

Thanks again for being part of this from the beginning. What we’re building here is being shaped by the people taking part in it, and it’s been brilliant to see that grow week by week.

Easy, 4 20, time to smoke. And as a date, the day we all celebrate and fight for legalization.
Personally, to me it means I don’t have to duck and hide when I see a cop, lol we treat it like Christmas around here,

The first time I heard “420” was in 1982 iirc; 4:20 was the time of day we held the “Safety Meeting”! :wink:

Today, for me, it has many meanings, but is and will always be, THE NUMBER!

p.s.: I’m trademarking “THE NUMBER” here as a new cultivar/strain name. First mention, lol. Hopefully the Simpson’s or South Park didn’t do it. Go Tegrity Farms. :winking_face_with_tongue: :grin:
