Alan Fraser and his friend Manny Naveed were jailed after a cannabis factory containing around 300 plants was discovered at Birkenbush Farm, near Forfar.
The cannabis found by police was valued to be worth around £48,640 to £145,920.
Fraser was handed a sentence of 27 months in prison, but he was later given another 15 months after plants worth £18,000 were found at another location.
It has now been revealed that Fraser’s combined 42-month sentence has now been reduced to 27 months.
