Meet the grower

Joshua Mezman

Founder of a Pot for Pot · Grower in Chief · Host of the How to Grow video course

Joshua tried to germinate his first cannabis seed in high school, after joining one of the early public protests to decriminalize cannabis in the UK in 2000. He moved to the USA in 2010 and left university in Santa Cruz to grow medicinal cannabis full time. Since then he has grown hydroponically, aeroponically and in living soil, indoors, in greenhouses and in full sun, and has started both ancillary and plant-touching cannabis businesses, including the world's first smart electric trimming scissors. He founded a Pot for Pot in 2016 so anyone can grow their own weed at home, writes the grow guides on this site, hosts the free How to Grow video course and answers grower questions by email.
