In this immersive and visually rich episode of Only Grows, host Marcus Baldinger visits the mountain grow sanctuary of Steven Cripe — better known as @OMGrows. What starts as a casual walk through his hillside home and grow operation evolves into a raw, unfiltered conversation around craft cannabis, personal redemption, and the philosophy behind becoming your favorite grower’s favorite grower.

Part fireside chat, part on-the-ground documentary, this episode is best experienced visually — offering a behind-the-scenes tour of Steven’s grow, his process, and the mountain views that fuel his passion.

• His crop steering insights, irrigation philosophy, and grow strategies
• Why personality, branding, and authenticity matter more than ever in today’s cannabis market
• A candid conversation about resilience, loss, chosen family, and finding your place in the industry
