The questions beginners actually ask
We invite growers, breeders, creators, and cannabis industry legends to answer ten questions beginners are usually too embarrassed to ask.
No lectures. No gatekeeping. No pretending everything is obvious.
Matt (Strain Show), Herbie (Herbies Seeds)
and more guests coming.
Ten questions. One guest. Straight answers
This isn’t a podcast where we spend twenty minutes talking about how everyone met. We pick one topic, ask ten direct questions, and let someone with real experience explain it without making beginners feel stupid.
Some questions are basic. Some are uncomfortable. A few are genuinely ridiculous. That’s the point.
Most growing mistakes don’t happen because people are lazy. They happen because beginners are embarrassed to ask something everyone else acts like they already know.
Why didn’t you just get a normal job? Was Strain Show a plan — or an accident? Matt talks about building one of the most recognizable cannabis education channels on YouTube, what beginners misunderstand most, and the worst grow advice that still gets tons of views.
Pick the topic you’re stuck on
Start with the question that is causing trouble right now. Every episode stays focused on one topic, so you don’t have to dig through an hour-long conversation to find the useful part.

How much water is too much? Is a watering schedule actually useful? And why can two plants in the same tent need completely different amounts? Matt answers the questions beginners usually learn by killing at least one plant.

Growing has a weird habit of making simple questions sound embarrassing. Everyone tells you to “read more,” but the more you read, the more five different people give you six different answers.
10 Stupid Questions was created to cut through that. We ask the basic question first, then let someone with real experience explain what actually matters.
“The fear of looking stupid has killed more plants than stupid questions ever will.”
We’re working through the entire grow, one topic at a time
What are you actually paying for, and what can a seed tell you before it grows?
How much, how often, and why “just water when it’s dry” isn’t always a useful answer.
How much light plants need and why beginners still spend money on everything else first.
Soil, coco, mixes, drainage, and what your roots are actually living in.
What plants need, what bottles claim they need, and how beginners end up feeding too much.
Fast, simple, unforgiving, beginner-friendly — somehow all at the same time.
More control, more decisions, and a lot more ways to overthink the light schedule.
Real experience. Different opinions. No single grow bible
We invite people with different backgrounds because growing doesn’t have one perfect method. A breeder may look at a question differently from a home grower, an educator, or someone who has spent twenty years learning through trial and error.
Grow educator and creator known for breaking complicated growing topics into advice people can actually follow.
Answers the seed questions beginners are afraid to ask.
Every guest finishes with the same three questions
What’s the most common mistake beginners make?
What advice would you give yourself before your first grow?
How would you get the best result with the least amount of money?
Different guests. Same questions. Very different answers.
Don’t have twenty minutes? Start with one question
Jump straight to the answer you need, then watch the full episode when you have time.
Know your stuff and don’t mind basic questions?
We’re always looking for growers, breeders, educators, photographers, creators, and other people who can explain one topic without turning it into a lecture.
The format is simple: ten questions, one focused conversation, and no studio required.
