The most dumb thing you have done on a grow

Check my diary and pick one

Chucked a reservoir full of good feed thinking pH was well off just to realise the lid was on the meter.....

On my first grow I looked in one day and had gnats flying around went to Tesco got some kind of pesticide preceded to spray round tent everywhere got some on hands acidentally rubbed eyes was a nightmare was on phone to NHS helpline who were trying to get me to go A and E but I was stoned and didn’t wanna do anything that involved moving lol even if I was in pain.

Was ok a few hours later thank fuck lol.

my 1st attempt at growing weed i used soil,i distilled my tap water feed it it's nutes every thing was Awesome for 6-7 weeks then the ladys leaves just started to turn yellowish with nasty looking spots on the leaves,i was frantically flushing,halfed the nutes ppm looking for a ph spike nudda i was devastated lost 6 caramelicious ladys only weeks away from flower!!! any guesses what happened??



{{{{{{{cal/mag deficiency}}}}}} distilling the tap water took the cal/mag outta the water and i never replaced it....12 months of research about my local water and how and when plants need/use diff minerals i have learnt ALOT about water since that lol,im now doing a dwc set up with my guns fully loaded and ready to fire(knowledge is power)failure is just a path to success some fall some rise......g/l all in ya grows!!!!!

Well.... just this weekend i accidentally uprooted an auto seedling breaking all the roots and 10 min later broke off my entire Babushka plant leaving just 3 branches.

And that was this weekend only. My list of stupidity goes on and on.

My 2nd grow with photos I had the timer set the wrong way round the plants were only receiving 6 hours light a day, to make things worse it took me 1-2 months to even realise this was happening, only realised because they went straight into flower. I'm sure I won't make that mistake again

Not really something I’ve done, but it was pretty stupid... had my tent open late one night just watering and checking on my plants, suddenly there’s a bang from my window. I spun around expecting to see some dude climbing through, only too see that actually my curtains fell down and I was providing street lights for the neighbourhood... never moved so fast in my life

You reminded me of something else LOL

I started the veg of my first grow in the stand-up shower in our master bedroom. There was a friction shower rod, so I moved it to the middle of the shower to hang my lights. I covered the front and top of the shower with horticulture plastic to control the light. I put my baby girls in and walked away very pleased with how smart I was. That night, the wife and I went to bed and we both had just fallen asleep .... CRASH!!! I ran in to check WTF it was. Humidity (90%) and heat (39° c) created condensate on the walls of the shower and the friction rod slipped, dropping my lights on the babies. Thankfully they were only uprooted and I was able to replant them and carry-on half assing the rest of my grow.
