Introduce yourself, check the updates, and DM us if you want to join too.
Who can join DC Family?
Growers, breeders, creators, and active community members can join at any time.
Do I have to grow Doctor’s Choice genetics?
No—you don’t have to grow our genetics to join the Family and contribute. But this is a Doctor’s Choice contest, so growing and sharing our strains earns more points and puts you in a stronger position to win.
Do I need to post constantly?
No—you don’t have to post on a set schedule. But this is a contest, so staying active and sharing useful, original work gives you more chances to earn points and move up the standings.
