High on Home Grown, The Cannabis Podcast

In this week’s episode of High on Home Grown, we cover a mix of serious headlines, legal cases, and shifting trends across the cannabis landscape:

Macky begins with a tragic story out of Oldham, where four men lost their lives inside a locked cannabis factory. The incident has been described as “gross incompetence,” raising serious questions about safety, exploitation, and the risks tied to illegal operations.

He also looks at the story of a man dubbed the city’s “cannabis martyr,” whose ongoing fight and repeated arrests continue to spark debate around cannabis laws and personal freedom in the UK.

John is off this week, but the rest of the team keeps things moving.

Smee reports on former justice minister Crispin Blunt, who has been fined for possession of illegal drugs, adding another high-profile case to the ongoing conversation around drug policy and enforcement.

Dr. Margaret brings some interesting data, covering a study suggesting there has been no increase in problematic teen use following cannabis legalisation, challenging a common concern often raised in policy debates.

Billy wraps things up with a more positive development, highlighting Luxembourg’s first at-home cannabis gardening service, offering a new approach for people looking to grow their own in a legal and supported way.

A heavy but important episode this week, touching on safety, law, and how attitudes and systems continue to evolve.

In this week’s Grow Guides, episode 84, we cover some key techniques that can take your grow from decent to dialled in properly.

We start with how to preserve terpenes, looking at what actually causes terpene loss and how to protect those flavours and aromas right through harvest, drying, and curing. Then we break down how to calculate electricity costs, helping you understand exactly what your grow is costing you to run, and where you might be able to save a bit of cash without sacrificing quality.

We also dive into advanced harvest timing, going beyond the basics and discussing how to choose the perfect moment to chop based on desired effects, trichome development, and plant maturity. To finish things off, we talk about dialling in the perfect grow environment, covering the balance between temperature, humidity, airflow, and VPD to create the ideal conditions for healthy, high-yielding plants.

A solid, practical episode packed with tips that can improve both the quality of your harvest and the efficiency of your grow room.

In this episode, we sit down with Rasta Jeff from Irie Genetics for a real and unfiltered conversation about the challenges facing breeders and content creators right now.

Jeff talks about having his social media accounts shut down, his YouTube content being censored, and what it’s like trying to share knowledge in an environment that’s becoming increasingly restrictive. We also get into the upcoming seed ban in the United States, what it could mean for growers and breeders like Jeff, and why it’s causing serious concern across the community.

It’s a straight-talking discussion about censorship, regulation, and the future of cannabis genetics, with one of the most respected breeders in the game.

If you care about growing, breeding, and the freedom to share information, this is one you don’t want to miss.

In this week’s episode of High on Home Grown, we’re covering a mix of research headlines, local oddities, and regulatory concerns from across the scene:

Macky kicks things off with a study suggesting medicinal cannabis may not be effective for anxiety or depression. As always, we look beyond the headline and dig into what the research actually shows, and what might be missing from the conversation. He also brings a strange local story, with bags of suspected cannabis discovered dumped in a canal between Bolton and Bury. One of those “how did that even happen?” moments that raises more questions than answers.

Smee reports on growing concerns in Guernsey that misuse of medicinal cannabis could lead to tighter regulations, highlighting the delicate balance between access and control.

Dr. Margaret covers fresh doubts surrounding cannabis rescheduling following a new federal report, adding more uncertainty to a process that’s already been long and complicated. We also touch on a more positive global development, as industrial hemp leaders from around the world prepare to gather in Poland for the 23rd EIHA conference. A sign that the industry continues to move forward despite the noise.

Another packed episode covering research, regulation, and the strange stories that keep things interesting week to week.

In this week’s Grow Guides, episode 83, we take a step back and look at how cannabis growing has evolved over the years. From the early days of hot, noisy setups to the more refined and efficient methods we see today.

We start with old-school HID grow rooms, where high heat and high power bills were just part of the game, before moving into the rise of early hydroponic systems that pushed growth rates and yields to new levels. From there, we explore the LED revolution, and how modern lighting has completely changed the way growers approach efficiency, control, and plant health.

We also dive into the growing popularity of living soil systems, where the focus has shifted toward biology, sustainability, and letting nature do more of the work.

To wrap things up, we look ahead to the future of cannabis cultivation. Where things might be heading, what trends are emerging, and how technology and natural methods could continue to blend.

A laid-back but insightful episode that gives context to where we’ve been, where we are now, and where growing might go next.
