High on Home Grown, The Cannabis Podcast

In this week’s Grow Guides, we step away from nutrients, lights, and equipment and focus on something just as important: the mentality of growing.

We talk about how obsessing over plants too much often causes more harm than good, and why overcorrecting problems that don’t actually exist is one of the fastest ways to stress a healthy grow into trouble. We also dig into Instagram and comparison bias. How scrolling perfect-looking grows can quietly wreck your confidence and decision-making.

Impatience comes up at every stage, from germination to harvest, along with confirmation bias when diagnosing issues and the way a grower’s stress can transfer directly into how plants are treated. We also discuss the skill of learning when to leave plants alone, trusting the process, and remembering the real end goal — healthy plants and enjoyable results, not chasing perfection.

This episode is all about mindset, restraint, and confidence. A must-listen if you’ve ever checked your tent ten times a day or talked yourself into fixing something that wasn’t broken.

In this week’s interview we have the pleasure of chatting with the founder of Swan Apothecary, Robin Swan! Robin is a holistic health and cannabis medicine specialist. She has been in this industry for over 30 years and has helped thousands of people find herbal medicines to help with many different ailments and illnesses. In this interview we talk about cannabis as a medicine, and how it can help with cancer. We also talk about other natural medicines like psilocybin, and how it can be used to treat PTSD and other mental health problems.

It’s a really good conversation and we get to learn a lot about natural medicine, and the work Robin has done over the past few decades. Roll a few fat ones for this, I hope you enjoy the interview!

In this week’s episode of High on Home Grown, we’re serving up a mix of quirky industry moves, regulatory updates, and progress on medical access across the UK and beyond:

Macky kicks things off with a slightly unexpected crossover, as the cannabis industry teams up with chefs in a push to stand out. Including one story involving mustard that definitely raised a few eyebrows. A reminder that branding and creativity are becoming just as important as the product itself.

Dr. Margaret brings some serious industry news, as Aurora secures EU Community Plant Variety Rights for two of its genetics. A move that highlights how intellectual property and plant protection are becoming increasingly important in the European market.

John covers political developments in the US, where a new bipartisan congressional bill aims to regulate hemp-derived products. A sharp contrast to a recent ban signed by Trump. We look at what this could mean for consumers, producers, and the wider regulatory landscape.

And Smee returns to rounds things out closer to home, with news that SOSE and the Scottish Borders Council are supporting a medicinal cannabis facility in the Borders. A potentially significant step for regional development and patient access.

Another packed episode blending the strange, the serious, and the genuinely promising developments shaping the industry.

In this week’s episode of Grow Guides, episode 74, we’re taking a hard look at some of the most common myths that confuse, frustrate, and stress out home growers, especially beginners.

We break down the idea that more nutrients automatically mean bigger buds, why flushing doesn’t magically fix every problem, and why yellow leaves don’t always signal a deficiency. We also tackle the obsession with harvesting at a “perfect” trichome colour, and the belief that praying leaves always mean a happy, healthy plant.

We dig into bigger mindset myths too! Like thinking you need expensive gear to grow top-shelf results, believing more light always equals more yield, or assuming organic grows can’t go wrong. We also talk about the danger of reacting too fast to every minor issue, and the confidence-killer myth that everyone else’s grow is somehow better than yours.

This episode is all about cutting through noise and calming the panic. Helping you understand what actually matters in the grow room, and what you can safely ignore.

Perfect listening if you’ve ever second-guessed yourself mid-grow or gone down a forum rabbit hole wondering what you did wrong.

In this week’s interview, we see the return of Ed Tech 64! Ed has been on the show before, so make sure you check out that interview too if you enjoy this one. Ed has been growing cannabis for over 40 years, and now he is running a weekly grow class for seniors so he can help the older generation learn to grow their own medicine. We chat about his classes, his grows, his new studio, and we talk about AI and the impact it could have on the future too. A great conversation where we bounce around many different topics, as we usually do.

I hope you enjoy this one, roll a few fat ones and all that, and don’t forget to follow Ed on social media!
