Anyone care to share any of their major screw ups?

I'll share a few!

About a month to harvest I had 6 beautiful looking ladies and thought I'd kind of juice them a little.....BIG fricking disaster, went outside about 4 hours later and they were shriveling up like old women. I tried to flood the planter, one survived but half of it died. Needless to say that was a pretty sick feeling.

Last year put my plants outside to finish flowering(they were in a bedroom with about 50-75% natural light and I used two UFO LED's to suppliment the lighting) the two largest plants went into total shock and pretty much died within a few days, the others recovered but were never the same.

So those are my two learning experiences so far.

Leaving loose pillows(that came crashing down on plants)in my growing closet on a top shelf, and/or planting outdoors near deer paths were my 2 biggest screw-ups b/c both were avoidable.

I was taking a plant outside, was carrying it too high and the ceiling fan took off the top cola bud.

First major screw-up was thinking that rubber-maid containers are light proof.
Major fail, was growing all kinds of stuff in the reservoir.
