New Year's Grow Challenge (NYGC)
About the NYGC 2024
The New Year’s Grow Challenge is Back for the sixth edition in 2024! The NYGC officially starts at Midnight Eastern Time on January 1st. When the ball drops in Time Square, we drop our seeds or cut our clones. Of course, if you are busy that night you can always drop them the next morning!
What better way to start the new year than with a new grow? Growing is always more fun when you are part of a community, and we want you to join ours and grow with us in the NYGC! You can sign up for the NYGC today! All of our grow challenges are free to join and open to all growers, regardless of skill level. The NYGC is the perfect grow challenge for beginners!
Participating in the NYGC 2024
The Coco for Cannabis grow challenges are not competitions! Our goal is to bring new and experienced growers together in the spirit of collaboration. We coordinate timing to grow along together and learn from each other. Our goal is to create a collaborative community of growers who support each other as we grow together!
In previous challenges, participating in the challenge meant keeping an updated journal in our Challenge Forum at CocoforCannabis.com. That is still going to be an option, but it is no longer going to be the only option. If you want to post about your grow on Instagram, YouTube, or other social media, that can also be considered as participating in the NYGC 2024. The important point is that we are sharing and growing… together. We will share your social media links, create events to bring us all together, and nurture our community across different platforms. Join the NYGC 2024 and participate however you want!
NYGC 2024 Theme: Growing Media
Our theme for this year’s NYGC is types of growing media! Some growers may think we are all or mostly about coco coir, but we welcome growers in all media types. The NYGC is a celebration of all of the different media in which we can grow cannabis! It is not a competition, but it is a lot of fun to see and compare growers in different media with whatever you are growing in!

NYGC 2024 Cloning Side Challenge
What is a side challenge?
Got Roots?
This NYGC we are going to try a new side-challenge: making clones. Many growers do this all the time, other growers may have never done it. It is a valuable skill to demonstrate and to learn. If you have a secret cloning technique here is your chance to show it off and maybe let us in. If you have never cloned before this is your chance to do it side-by-side with dozens of growers who are eager to help and to share.
Sunday February 4th is the official cutting day. So, you’ll have 35 days to grow your plants out to be big enough to take a viable cutting – that is the first part of this challenge. All growers who successfully get roots will be recognized for completing the challenge and get a special badge. We will have prizes for the fastest roots, the smallest rooted clone, and the largest rooted clones. Stay tuned for more details.
