In this week’s Grow Guides, episode 85, we discuss cannabis grafting, a technique that allows you to combine multiple plants into one.
We start by explaining what grafting is and how it works, before getting into why growers might want to try it, from preserving genetics to running multiple strains on a single plant. From there, we walk you through a step-by-step grafting guide, covering the tools you’ll need, how to make clean cuts, and how to encourage a successful union between plants. We also go over common mistakes that can ruin a graft, along with practical tips to improve your success rate.
Finally, we ask the big question: is grafting actually worth it? We break down the pros and cons so you can decide if it’s something you want to experiment with in your own grow. Of course we have a healthy dose of listener mail questions too.
A great episode for growers looking to expand their skills and try something a little different in the garden.

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.

In this week’s Grow Guides, we’re focusing on the small tools that make a big difference in the grow room. Not the big-ticket items like lights or tents, but the everyday tools growers rely on to keep plants healthy and problems under control.
We talk about the essentials like EC and PPM meters, pH pens, and hygrometers, explaining why accurate measurements can save you a lot of headaches. We also cover practical tools such as pruning snips, LST clips, and other plant training aids that help shape plants and maximise growth.
We discuss the usefulness of a jeweller’s loupe for checking trichomes, along with simple but important gear like watering tools, moisture checks, spray bottles, and sticky traps for early pest detection.

In this week’s episode of High on Home Grown, we cover a mix of heartfelt tributes, strange crime stories, new research, and policy changes happening across the world.
Macky starts with the launch of a campaign in memory of a mother who played an important role in changing the UK’s medical cannabis laws. It’s a powerful reminder of the real people behind the push for reform and the lasting impact their work continues to have.
John brings a lighter scientific story, as researchers reveal what kinds of food people tend to crave when the infamous “munchies” kick in. The results might not be too surprising, but the science behind it is fascinating.
Smee reports on a bizarre criminal case from Blackpool, where a drugs gang reportedly dressed as police officers in order to raid cannabis farms. A story that sounds almost unbelievable, but highlights how far organised groups will go.
Dr. Margaret discusses a new study suggesting cannabis could help people who are trying to reduce their alcohol consumption, adding to the growing conversation around harm reduction and lifestyle changes.
And Billy rounds things off with news from Malta, where authorities have updated the cannabis club regulations to allow clubs to store up to 3.5kg on site, a notable shift in how the country manages its legal social club system.

In this week’s Grow Guides episode, we take an honest look at the realities of growing at home. The things people don’t always talk about before starting their first setup.
We break down the true cost of growing, from equipment and electricity to the hidden expenses that can creep in over time. We also discuss the time commitment required to properly care for plants, and why growing isn’t quite as “set and forget” as some people might think.
The conversation also moves into practical considerations like managing noise, smell, and privacy, especially for growers trying to keep things discreet at home. From loud extraction fans to odour control, these are factors every grower needs to plan for.
We also discuss burnout and over-scaling, a common trap where growers expand too quickly and end up overwhelmed, and we finish by exploring the mental side of growing, the patience, discipline, and mindset that help turn a stressful grow into an enjoyable and rewarding one.
This episode is all about keeping expectations realistic and helping growers build setups they can actually manage long term.

In this week’s interview we welcome back Dominic Milton Trott! Dominic has joined us a couple of times before, and every single time the conversation goes deep, wide, and into some seriously fascinating territory.
If you’re not familiar with him, Dominic is the author of The Drug Users Bible, a harm reduction classic built from firsthand experience. He has personally researched and documented the effects of over 180 different psychoactive substances, carefully recording dosage, duration, risks, and what people can realistically expect. His goal has always been simple but powerful: reduce harm through honest information.
In this episode, we talk about his recent travels, where he’s been exploring, and the places he has visited in search of specific substances around the world. We get into culture, legality, safety, mindset, and the importance of responsible use. As always with Dominic, it’s thoughtful, measured, and grounded in real world experience rather than hype or fear.
Another brilliant conversation with a good friend of the show. If you’re interested in altered states, global drug policy, harm reduction, or just hearing from someone who has truly walked the walk, this one is for you.
Roll one up, get comfortable, and enjoy the ride.

In this week’s Grow Guides, we’re talking about something that doesn’t get enough attention until it’s too late, fire and electrical safety in the grow room.
We break down the real risks behind overloaded sockets, cheap extension leads, poor wiring, and badly installed lighting. We also cover how to properly calculate electrical load, why breakers and RCDs matter, and how small mistakes can quietly turn into serious hazards.
We talk about safe cable management, keeping electrics away from water, proper ventilation for heat control, and the importance of investing in reliable equipment instead of the cheapest option online. This isn’t about fear, it’s about responsibility and protecting your home, your family, and yourself.
If you’re running lights, fans, heaters, or any kind of electrical setup, this episode is essential listening. A safe grow is a sustainable grow and no harvest is worth risking your house for.
