In-depth description

The grow_pops command in Stellaris is used to increase the number of growing population (pops) on the selected planet by a specific amount.

This command can only be executed on a planet where there is at least one population point.

The population, or pops, represents the inhabitants of your planetary bodies. They perform a variety of tasks within your empire such as farming, researching, leading, and fighting. In this way, they are essential parts of your empire's growth and development.

When you use the grow_pops command, the entered number of population is currently growing on the targeted planet. This allows you to artificially increase your planet's population to boost its output or fill job vacancies faster.

For example, if you enter the syntax grow_pops 10, this will add 10 growing populations on your selected planet, provided there's at least one growth point.

You should use this command when you need an immediate growth in population in your particular planet for various strategic reasons— it could be to increase the speed of resource production, to enhance the development of the planet's infrastructures or because you want to establish a stronger defense against potential enemies.
