In this week's episode of High on Home Grown, we take a look at some of the biggest cannabis stories from the UK and around the world, covering crime, medical research, changing regulations and the risks surrounding cannabis edibles.

This week we discuss the tragic consequences that can surround the illegal cannabis market, from a murder reportedly linked to a tiny £25 debt to a huge international smuggling operation. We also look at some more positive developments, including promising research into cannabis compounds and PTSD, and New York's decision to allow licensed cannabis businesses to sell at farmers' markets and pop-up events.

Finally, we examine another warning about cannabis edibles and driving, discussing why edible cannabis can be particularly unpredictable and why understanding delayed effects is so important.

It's time for another Listener Mail episode, and this week the High on Home Grown community has delivered another brilliant mix of growing questions, thought-provoking discussions, and the usual off-the-rails conversations that make these episodes so much fun.

We kick things off by discussing what to do when you accidentally snap a branch during plant training, comparing different types of tape for repairs and whether breathable options offer any real advantages. We also explore whether supercropping autoflowers is worth the risk, and answer questions about lollipopping outdoor plants, looking at how outdoor training differs from growing indoors.

The panel also discusses whether over-dried cannabis loses potency, how drying conditions affect the final product, and whether experienced growers should be paying more attention to terpene development than trichome colour when deciding the perfect time to harvest. Along the way, we answer a few fun questions, including which fantasy character we'd most like to be, and tackle one of Margaret's famous thought experiments about what we'd do if we suddenly inherited £100 million.

To round off the episode, the conversation drifts into one of our favourite rabbit holes: space, the possibility of extraterrestrial life, and what might really be out there beyond our little blue planet.

As always, it's another relaxed episode packed with practical growing advice, cannabis science, philosophical tangents, and plenty of laughs with the High on Home Grown community.

In this week's interview, I sit down with Thomas Gibson, the founder and CEO of Grand Master LED, to talk about one of the most important pieces of equipment in any indoor grow: the grow light.

Thomas shares the story behind Grand Master LED, explaining what inspired him to start the company and how it has grown into one of the most respected names in high-performance LED lighting. We discuss the latest developments in their lighting technology, take a look at some of their newest models, and talk about what growers can expect from the next generation of Grand Master LED products. We also get a sneak peek at the company's upcoming line of nutrients and the thinking behind expanding beyond lighting.

As the conversation unfolds, we venture away from cannabis growing and chat about fitness, health, and some of the sports injuries Thomas has picked up over the years. It's a relaxed, honest conversation covering entrepreneurship, innovation, personal challenges, and plenty of practical advice for growers looking to get the most out of their indoor gardens.

Whether you're interested in LED technology, growing better cannabis, or hearing the story behind a successful company in the industry, this is an interview you won't want to miss.

This week on High on Home Grown, we cover another busy week of cannabis news, from major legal changes in the United States to public health warnings, promising medical research, and some controversial political statements.

Macky: Texas bans hemp-derived THC products, leaving smoke shop owners and customers with questions 

Smee: The risks of cannabis gummies with fake sweet packaging - BBC News 

Billy: A Cannabis Flavonoid Stopped Up to 99% of Cancer-Cell Growth in Lab Tests 

John: Marijuana Has 'Horrific Health Risks' And No Medical Value, Former Trump Attorney General Claims

This week we discuss Texas' decision to ban hemp-derived THC products, exploring what the new law means for businesses, consumers, and the wider hemp industry. We also examine the growing problem of cannabis gummies being sold in packaging that closely resembles popular sweets, and why this continues to raise concerns about child safety and responsible regulation.

Billy brings us an exciting piece of early-stage medical research looking at a cannabis flavonoid that showed remarkable anti-cancer activity in laboratory studies. While the findings are promising, we also discuss why it's important to distinguish between laboratory results and proven medical treatments. Finally, we take a closer look at former US Attorney General Bill Barr's claim that cannabis has "no medical value," comparing those comments with the growing body of scientific evidence and the experiences of patients around the world.

Another packed episode covering cannabis science, policy, medicine, and the stories making headlines across the globe.

It's time for another Listener Mail episode, and this week the High on Home Grown community has sent in another brilliant mix of growing questions, cannabis myths, and a few completely random discussions that only Listener Mail can deliver!

We begin by helping a listener who's planning a brand-new grow room after moving house. We discuss the pros and cons of building a secure enclosure inside a garage, how to make it as smell-proof as possible, and the key things to consider when growing safely with young children around. We also dive into the best methods for long-term cannabis storage, including whether vacuum sealing is a good option and how to preserve your harvest for months, or even years.

The panel also tackles a common harvest question: can you dry your cannabis in the same tent you grew it in by simply turning off the lights? We discuss the ideal drying conditions, what to watch out for, and how to get the best possible cure. We also bust an old cannabis myth by asking whether Miracle-Gro really "sucks the THC" out of your plants, separating internet folklore from reality.

Of course, it wouldn't be Listener Mail without a few lighter moments. We compare cannabutter vs cannabis oil for making edibles, answer a couple of wonderfully ridiculous philosophical questions, and even try to make sense of one of Dave's mysterious text messages.

As always, it's another relaxed episode packed with practical growing advice, cannabis knowledge, community questions, and plenty of laughs along the way.
