Description
Think of it as buying HWGrow a cup of coffee each month—and getting more of the site in return.
For $3/month or $25/year, the Cup of Coffee Supporter tier helps fund independent testing, tutorials, hosting and community tools. Your support helps keep HWGrow honest, practical and useful without turning every guide into an advertisement. All published Supporter-exclusive articles are included while your membership is active. New releases appear here automatically.
9 exclusive articles included
What your Supporter membership unlocks
- One active public Grow Journal at a time, plus unlimited permanently archived journals after you close them.
- Paid-member photo uploads for participating in supported HWGrow discussions and community features.
- Direct Messaging to members on the site (this was the only way to screen out bots/trolls/spammers.
- Supporter access for as long as your membership remains active, including new Supporter material added during that time.
Ask HWGrow, Community Chat and passwordless email login remain available through a free logged-in account. The paid Supporter tier adds the exclusive articles and expanded journal and upload benefits listed above.
Already enrolled in a Masterclass? Active Grow With Me, Hydro and Breeding Masterclass members automatically receive all Supporter benefits and may keep two active Grow Journals.
Recurring membership and cancellation policy
This is a recurring membership billed at $3 per month or $25 per year, according to your selection, until cancelled. You may cancel at any time.
- After cancellation is processed, future recurring payments will not be charged.
- Monthly members may request a refund for their current active billing month. For an annual-plan refund request, contact HWGrow; the site refund terms apply. If a cancellation and refund are approved, Supporter-only access and membership benefits end immediately.
- When the membership becomes inactive, access to Supporter-only articles, the Supporter journal allowance, paid-member uploads and future Supporter releases ends unless the membership is reactivated.
- Cancelling the Cup of Coffee tier does not cancel or change a separate Grow With Me, Hydro or Breeding Masterclass subscription.
By subscribing, you authorize the recurring charge shown at checkout: $3 every month or $25 every year until you cancel. Annual membership is billed upfront, not in monthly installments. For billing, cancellation or refund questions, please use the official HWGrow contact page.
Your journal is included
Your current eligible Supporter membership includes one active Grow Journal.
Eligible members can earn one HWGrow reward point per day by publishing a journal update with at least 31 visible text characters, a successfully uploaded photo, or a successfully uploaded and processed video. This is one point per member per day across all their journals. An additional journal slot does not increase the daily point limit.
Videos are automatically resized to a maximum of 720p with their proportions preserved; smaller videos are not upscaled. After the resized copy is validated, the original server upload is deleted immediately. Upload limits apply before conversion: the current upload/request ceiling is 270 MB, shared by multiple files and form data, and photos have a 25 MB limit. Shorten or compress a file that is too large.
A draft or failed upload does not earn the daily point on its own. A published update can still qualify through another valid part of that update, and editing an older update does not create a new day’s point.
Current paid-tier members and members with a verified Selfie Seeds™ purchase journal credit qualify. Use the same account email. The minimum transfer of available, finalized rewards to Selfie Seeds™ is $5; the matching-email requirement remains in place. Read HWGrow Rewards for the current rules.
Log in, choose Journals, select the journal, then use the green “Post an update to this journal” control near the top. Follow How to Start and Update Your HWGrow Journal for the complete walkthrough, or open your journal dashboard.
