High on Home Grown, The Cannabis Podcast

Ishaq Hillman from The Canna Boss Babes Podcast | HOHG Interview

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.

Big Changes to USA Cannabis Laws! | UK Medical Cannabis Users Suffer Stigma, But the Industry is Flourishing! | Canada Wants Reform | Cannabis News 187

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.

How to Boost Trichomes Naturally | Mastering Airflow | Resetting Your Grow Between Runs | Understanding Plant Stress | Grow Guides Ep. 65

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!

Catching up with Trevor and Kirk from the Reefer MEDness Podcast
