Dumbest thing you've ever done

[udomlya]

Did some digging for a few hours at an outdoor grow, in a location which turned out badly infested with Chiggers. These tiny red mites attach, then burrow a few mm into one's skin by releasing an enzyme which causes *severe* itching and redness. Then they linger inside their burrows and feed for a few days, further prolonging the misery. Chiggers prefer the soft skin close to the genitals, BTW. One or two of them are bad news. That evening whilst applying ointment, I counted 130+ of the little monsters. DEET prevents chiggers from attacking, but I forgot to apply it that day. That was a mistake which I never repeated.

So today I was tending the new clones, wondering why they were getting yellow so fast on me, and so I turn my thermometer around and its 95 degrees in my dome. And I realize I hadnt checked the actual temp in probably 3 days. How did I not? No idea. Then I was watering, hit my head on the lamp and broke a piece of my light mover. Then I realized some of those little buttons on my timer got pushed in, resulting in a 15 minute dark period in the middle of the "day". Yes, I am a Rating: 5

on my very first grow, my plants stretched like crazy, the main stalk was like 3 feet before the canopy actually started. I didn't realize how bad it was until it took me almost 3 months to flower and the buds were only like a gram each. Then I even topped them all the second week into flowering.
god that was stupid

telling my noob partner to "cut these male's and hang them somewhere to dry".I come back a week later and he has them hanging in front of the oscillating fan in the flowering room ..........

Trusted that the heater and all were working durring cold snap last march. Turned out heater had blown a fuse and all hydro tanks froze rock solid. Amazingly there was about 15% of the girlz that lived.

BTW: they are calling for blizzard and so I just...just in case...went and got a generator and propane heaters to save them this year..we hope!

I'd been mixing nutes in a gallon jug in concentrate and then dividing it into three and diluting them. Somehow in my wisdon I used the concentrated stuff to water 10 or so ladies who were 3 weeks from done.

Yeah, fried them pretty good

Pulled down my garden, got rid of all my growing gear when the cops were sitting out in front of my house all night, staking out.

After about a week, they came and hauled away my... neighbor.

Haha, reminds me of the time I got into an accident in front of my dealer's house & when the cops came to take reports I saw him tossing pounds of weed over his back fence into the alley!

My worst mistake was telling my mom I was growing back in high school in my closet (her house), thought I was going crazy when every couple days there would be one fewer bud on the plant! Apparently that was the "rent charge" lol.
