Ergonomic Growing, Saving Outdoor Plants From Bud Rot, Genetics vs Environment, SCROG Tips & Grower Beliefs We Changed | Listener Mail #15

This week on High on Home Grown, we're back with another Listener Mail episode, answering questions from the community covering everything from making your grow more comfortable on your back to dealing with heavy rain outdoors, genetic variation between plants and the growing advice we've completely changed our minds about over the years.

SKD, the grower with the SCROG and the dodgy back, is back looking for more ways to make growing more ergonomic. We discuss ways of making the grow room easier on your body, whether raising plants can help, and whether automatic watering systems are actually worth the investment or just another gadget taking up space in the grow room.

Free Nugz has a much more immediate problem, with tall outdoor plants being hit by unexpected heavy rain and already showing the first signs of bud rot. We discuss what growers can realistically do when the weather turns against them, how to reduce the chances of losing an outdoor harvest, and what to look out for when you're trying to get big plants through the final stretch of the season.

Toploader has perhaps the most important question of the episode: Does anyone have Milky Amber's phone number? We're still waiting for the appropriate authorities to respond.

ChronicG asks why two plants from the exact same packet of seeds can sometimes finish looking, smelling and even behaving completely differently. We get into genetics vs environment, phenotype variation and how much influence the growing conditions can actually have on the final expression of a cannabis plant.

Finally, BudsAndBeans asks the panel to look back at their own growing journeys and reveal one thing they used to believe about growing cannabis that experience completely changed their mind about. Sometimes the best lessons aren't the things you learn from a book, but the things you learn after doing something wrong for five years!

Another episode of community questions, grow-room experience, practical advice, genetics, outdoor growing and the occasional question that absolutely should not have made it onto the podcast.
