This week’s Grow Guides is a little different. No deep dives, no technical breakdowns, just a laid-back Christmas special to round out the year.
We’re chatting festive music and classic Christmas movies, debating the best (and worst) Christmas movies, and going on a much-needed rant about Michael Bublé and his annual takeover of the airwaves. You’ve been warned.
To finish things off, we throw in a fun Christmas general knowledge quiz to test how much you actually know about the festive season, perfect for playing along at home.
Grab a brew, put your feet up, and enjoy a relaxed Christmas episode with the HOHG crew. Normal service resumes soon. 🎄
Thank you to everyone who has joined us over the year, and years previous to this! We all appreciate every single listener and love having you as part of our growing community! I hope you have an amazing Christmas!

In this week’s Grow Guides we’re getting seasonal and practical, focusing on the challenges that come with growing through the colder months. We kick things off with a winter and Christmas survival guide, covering how low temperatures, dry air, and slower plant metabolism can quietly cause problems if you don’t adapt your setup.
We also talk about grower stocking fillers and Christmas gifts that actually get used, no gimmicks, no shelf-fillers, just genuinely useful bits of kit and tools that make life easier in the grow room. From there we tackle the early harvest temptation. Chopping before Christmas might sound appealing, but rushing a plant nearly always backfires. We explain why patience pays off and what really happens when you pull a plant too early.
To wrap up, we run through the most common winter grow mistakes that ruin Christmas harvests, from overwatering cold roots to ignoring humidity swings, and how to avoid turning a festive grow into a disappointing one.
A timely episode packed with real-world advice to keep your winter grows healthy, stress-free, and worth the wait.

In this week’s episode of High on Home Grown, we’re covering a mix of bizarre stories, serious research, and big political signals from around the world:
Macky starts with a story that’s raised more than a few eyebrows, a middle-class couple caught running a highly organised grow, claiming it was all to fund their daughter’s university education. A case that sparks debate about motive, punishment, and how society views these crimes.
Billy brings one of the strangest grow stories we’ve seen in a while, after plants were discovered growing underneath the M1 motorway in Northamptonshire. A reminder that people will grow just about anywhere… even under Britain’s busiest roads.
Dr. Margaret shifts gears to New Zealand, where the government is looking to cut red tape in an effort to boost its domestic hemp industry. A potentially big move for farmers and manufacturers if it plays out as planned.
John covers new research suggesting that legal access is linked to reduced suicide rates among older adults — a serious and important finding that adds weight to ongoing reform debates.
And finally, we look at growing signals from the US as Trump prepares to reschedule cannabis to Schedule III, a move that could reshape research, medicine, and the wider industry almost overnight.
Another packed episode full of strange locations, policy shifts, and research that keeps the conversation moving forward.

In this week’s Grow Guides we’re digging into four problems every home grower bumps into sooner or later. First up, we break down how to properly soundproof a grow room or tent so you’re not broadcasting fan noise to the whole house. Cheap fixes, smart materials, and the tricks that actually work.
We also cover how to diagnose off smells in your tent, the weird, the worrying, and the ones that tell you something’s going wrong long before you see it. From funky roots to failing filters, we explain what to sniff for and what each scent usually means. Then we dive into the Gas Lantern Technique (GLT) and explain what it is, why some growers swear by it, and whether it actually offers any real advantage with modern lighting.
To wrap up, we go through practical ways to build a low-odor grow without spending a fortune. Simple adjustments, low-cost gear, and a few sneaky tricks to keep things discreet even late into flower.
Another packed episode giving you real-world solutions to keep your grow quiet, clean, efficient and under the radar.

In this week’s episode of High on Home Grown, we’re breaking down another set of big headlines from around the world:
Macky kicks things off with a massive research milestone — over 4,000 studies published this year alone, all while Trump continues to weigh his rescheduling decision. A reminder of just how fast the science is moving, even when politics drags its feet.
Billy brings big news for patients in the UK, where experts have released the first comprehensive dosing guide for medical oil products. A huge step toward safer, clearer, and more consistent treatment options for people who’ve been left guessing for far too long.
Dr. Margaret covers an international business move as Calgary-based High Tide continues its expansion into Europe, signalling another wave of global industry growth. She also dives into a charming new study showing that CBD can help aggressive dogs calm down — great news for stressed-out pups and their equally stressed-out humans.
And John wraps things up with progress in Kentucky, where the state’s first medical dispensary is set to open in the next couple of weeks. The governor is already touting the program as a crucial alternative in the fight against opioid addiction, which could have a major impact across the region.
Another packed episode full of science, policy shifts, and global updates — plenty to think about and plenty to discuss.

In this week’s Grow Guides we’re breaking down four fundamentals every home grower should understand, whether you’re on your first tent or your fiftieth. We start with light intensity, what it actually does inside the plant, how to avoid blasting your tips to death, and how to find the sweet spot for strong, stress-free growth.
From there we move into a beginner-friendly guide to pheno-hunting at home. No lab coats, no nonsense, just simple steps to spot your keepers, recognise the standouts early, and build your own personal stable over time.
We also dig into the real science behind drying speeds. Everyone says “slow and steady,” but we explain why it matters, what’s actually happening inside the flower as it dries, and how to avoid the harsh, grassy results that happen when you rush it.
Finally, we break down the root-to-shoot ratio, one of the most overlooked concepts in growing. Understanding this balance will help you diagnose plant issues faster, feed more intelligently, and grow stronger plants from veg to harvest.
A packed episode full of knowledge that makes your next grow smoother, smarter, and a whole lot more fun.

In this week’s episode of High on Home Grown, we break down some of the most eyebrow-raising headlines from across the scene:
Macky opens with a strange one from the skies. Two complete strangers from Birmingham arrested and jailed for the exact same offence on a Thailand flight. He also digs into a new WBUR study claiming there are “few medical benefits” for pain, anxiety, or insomnia.
Billy brings updates from Austria, where CBD flower rules are shifting yet again. These changes could shake up the whole European marketplace, and we break down what it means for consumers and small producers.
Margaret covers a mysterious vomiting condition that’s just been given an official WHO code after a spike in ER cases. A reminder that regulators and researchers are still scrambling to understand a condition many people have been talking about for years.
John wraps things up with a major policy move in the US: a federal health agency preparing to allow CBD coverage under Medicare, boosted by a video posted by Donald Trump. If this goes through, it could shift how millions of Americans access plant-based wellness products.
Another packed episode full of global updates, policy turns, and research headlines worth reading between the lines.

This week we’re tackling four of the most awkward moments in home growing. We start with stubborn seeds that refuse to sprout and run through the simple checks that tell you whether they’re slow, stressed or simply never going to crack. From there we get into hermies, why they happen, how to catch them early and what your realistic options are once those dreaded nanners show up.
We also talk about going stealth mid-grow, because sometimes life throws a curveball and you need to make your setup disappear fast without trashing your plants. And to wrap up, we cover the right way to revive buds that dried out too much, so you can save your stash without risking mould. Quick, practical solutions for the problems no grower actually wants to admit they’ve had.
Of course, we also have listener mail where we answer some of the questions you guys have sent in fo rthe panel, including what are our favourite types of socks....

In this weeks interview we have members special. Sometimes we like to get members of the forum and listeners of the show on to the podcast to get to know them a little more. FreeNuggz reached out recently and wanted to come on to the show to talk about addiction, mental health, and alcoholism. Plus many other things. We have a great conversation and discussed the importance of having a community to reach out to when you were feeling down, or under the pressure of life.
It was a great conversation, and I hope you guys enjoy it!. I want to you to know that if any of you guys listening to the show ever feel like they need someone to talk to, you can always reach out to the community on Percys Grow Room, or on our discord server privately if you wanted to. You are not alone, always speak up if you need to! There are plenty of people in your community that will listen.

In this weeks cannabis news we have 5 stories to cover! Macky has a piece from The Independent tackling the old “you can’t get addicted” claim that’s been floating around for decades. Time to put the myth in the grinder and talk about what the evidence really shows.
Billy follows up with UK Medical Cannabis Awareness Month, where campaigners, clinicians, and industry heads are finally pushing together to build momentum. Big names are talking, but whether anything moves in the UK… well, that’s always the question.
Margaret brings us a fun one from the research world: smell, not potency, is the best predictor of what people actually choose. Shocking absolutely no one who has ever stuck their nose in a jar and made a decision on instinct.
Margaret also looks at Canada and a tourism wave that’s waiting to explode, but only if regulators stop tripping over their own shoelaces. There’s huge potential, but the rules need to grow up a bit first.
And John wraps things up with an unexpected twist in the U.S.: a new GOP-backed bill that aims to reverse the hemp-derived THC ban Trump literally just signed into law. Yes, you read that correctly.
A lively mix this week, science, politics, policy, tourism, and the usual roller-coaster logic that comes with trying to regulate a plant.

Come and get involved, the more growers we have, the better the whole scene becomes.
In this week’s interview we’re joined by Ishaq Hill-Man, one of the voices behind The Canna Boss Babes Podcast. We chat about how she got started, and how she took her mission from childhood trauma, to homelessness, to running her own company which is The Canna Boss Babes. From activism to business, from stigma to strategy, Ishaq brings a ton of insight and plenty of good vibes.
As usual, we wander into a few tangents too… personal growth, mindset, the state of the industry, and why community matters now more than ever. A proper good conversation with a guest who’s doing real work.

This week’s news episode is a busy one, covering big shifts in the UK, Canada, and the US, and some pretty heated developments around hemp policy.
Macky brings us a heartfelt BBC story about a patient who uses medical cannabis daily but fears being judged as a “lazy stoner.” A familiar issue… and one the UK still desperately needs to move past.
Billy dives into Curaleaf’s new partnership with ANTG, a deal that could reshape medical product manufacturing and distribution across the UK. Big players keep moving in, but will it actually help patients?
Margaret Covers a Canadian piece asking why, after years of legalization, the public still wants cannabis modernization, and why they feel the government isn’t delivering.
John rounds things out with major U.S. news: Trump has officially signed a bill that recriminalizes hemp-derived THC products. On top of that, Congress effectively pulled the plug on the hemp market. A massive move that’s already sparking controversy.
Plenty to unpack, plenty to rant about, and definitely one of those weeks where the headlines tell very different stories depending on which side of the border you’re standing on.

In this week’s episode of Grow Guides, we’re digging into four key topics that can seriously level up your next harvest:
How to Boost Trichome Production Naturally:
We break down the techniques, environmental tweaks, and plant-training methods that help your buds pack on more frost without gimmicks or snake oil.
Airflow and Circulation: The Secret Weapon for Stronger Plants:
Good airflow does way more than stop mould. It shapes stronger stems, improves nutrient flow, and drives explosive growth. We show you how to dial it in properly.
How to Reset and Reuse Your Grow Setup Between Runs:
Whether you’re growing in soil, coco, or hydro, we explain how to clean, sterilise, and prep your space so every new grow starts fresh and problem-free.
Understanding Plant Stress: When It Helps and When It Hurts:
Not all stress is bad, some of it actually boosts terpenes and trichomes. But too much can wreck your yield. Learn how to tell the difference and use stress wisely.
As always, we wrap up with listener mail and community questions!
