This community is a forum for sharing information about the cultivation of cannabis. The public description is short and clear. People come here to talk about growing cannabis. The rules tell you the moderators want a focused, civil space where the conversation stays on cultivation itself and never drifts into commerce, memes, or repetitive beginner questions.
The rules that matter most for a marketing-adjacent post are No Buying Selling or Trading, No DM, No AI or MEME, No Low Effort Posts, and No discussion about sexing plants. The rule No Bad Vibes also matters because any post that reads as aggressive or dismissive will be removed. These six rules together tell you that the moderators want genuine, civil, effortful cultivation discussion and nothing else.
A good post here is a detailed, effortful piece of cultivation knowledge. You could share a grow journal with photos and notes on your environment, nutrients, and timeline. You could write a troubleshooting post that describes a specific problem with your plants and asks for help from experienced growers. You could share a technique you tried and what you learned from it. The key is that the post must stand on its own as useful cultivation content, not as a vehicle for a brand or a product. If you are a founder with a tool or service for growers, your post should never mention it. Earn trust by being helpful first, and let people discover what you do on their own.
Avoid anything that touches buying, selling, trading, giving, or asking for seeds, weed, clones, extracts, equipment, or prices. The rule No Buying Selling or Trading also bans discussion of clone and seed suppliers, so do not name or link to them. Do not ask anyone to DM you, since the rule No DM is explicit. Do not post memes or AI generated content under the rule No AI or MEME. Do not post low effort content, because the rule No Low Effort Posts will catch it. Do not ask about the sex of your plants, because the rule No discussion about sexing plants removes those posts and points you to the FAQ. Do not harass or attack anyone, as the rule No Bad Vibes makes clear.
