I will find out tonight what the loss came to. I just talked to an expert who assures me that unless they were killed down to below the first node, it IS possible to recover them as if they are revegging harvested stumps. I know my harvest is toast though. Good enough for personal use, but aesthetically akin to the dented apples they sell to cider mills for short bucks. I won't want my friends to see the buds, lol... here! HAve a joint! No, there's no buds around, I rolled these 50 joints before you came over. :wtf:

lol Yeah it's been an adventure from day one. If it's not an angry ex with an emotional problem kicking down my door, it's heat, or cold, or floods, or shitty well water, or any of a HOST of other scourges.
What do we learn from all this? Plan to fail. Plan to fall down, hard. Practice getting back up.
Make every new grow space immune to the problems that you faced in the last one.
Eliminate factors you can't control.
Don't count the chickens before they hatch.
Always have another option; a safe spot to store valuable genetics should the need arise.
Back up your shit.
Put money aside for emergencies- a portable a/c STARTS at $300 for the no-name one, as I just found out. A good can fan will run you $200. First/Last/Security will hit ya for $2k and up, depending on where you live. And your time isn't free, either.
But most of all, don't give up out of frustration.
