This episode’s highlights include:

• The Cannabis Hand Grenade: Stoney Alpinist breaks down the secrets behind his incredible kokedama-style cannabonsai—a "coconut grenade" made of moss and soil that he’s successfully kept thriving with daily care and potent nutrient "potions". He shares the technical details of the build, from using spagnum moss and butcher's twine to the "sub-sipping" technique that keeps the ball hydrated,,

• Grow Room Disasters: tootall shares his latest "manual labor" saga, involving a broken pipe cutter and a showerhead project that turned into an angle-grinder rescue mission

• Cannabis Etiquette: The hosts tackle the social stigma of "the smell," discussing a real-world scenario of hot-boxing a car before a school meeting and where personal freedom meets public respect

• The Grower's Naughty List: From messy dosing carts to leaving "fallen soldiers" (fan leaves) on the tent floor, the hosts confess the suboptimal habits that would land them on Santa's naughty list

• Holiday Favorites: Discover the hosts’ favorite Christmas movies—ranging from Die Hard to the Muppet-style classic Emmett Otter’s Jug Band Christmas—and their top holiday tracks, including James Brown’s Soulful Christmas and Trans-Siberian Orchestra

Whether you're looking for tips on long-flowering hazes, the latest on cannabis rescheduling, or just some holiday puns to get you through the season, this episode has it all

Analogy for the Kokedama: Think of Stoney’s kokedama like a high-maintenance greenhouse-in-a-ball; instead of a pot providing a safety net, the plant relies entirely on the moisture-wicking moss and the grower’s daily "pulse check" to survive
