I’ll start this one off with an idiot of the week story, I was doing a grow and had read how to add CO2 buy using the old vinegar and baking soda drip trick. The chemical reaction we all remember from our old middle school volcano experiments, produces CO2. Well I had a 16 oz clear bottle of vinegar near the grow tent and one day I decided I needed to water a bit, so watered my plant with 16oz’s of vinegar. Lesson learned never use a clear bottle for Vinegar and ALWAYS mark the bottle!

Most expensive dumbest thing i ever did was get sucked into the 1200watt replacement led light that only consumes 150 watts out the wall and they were very expensive almost 8 or 10 years ago i spent 2600 on 4 light’s and sold all my hps lights and spent 400 on 8 black ak 47 seeds and only got little fluffy buds hardly bigger than a quarter and to top it off i started feeding 3 time a week because it couldn’t be the new best lights on the market right i burned them up and just thought it was bad seeds and bought even more expensive seeds brunt them up to wasted a good 9 months on nothing sold the lights and went back to mh hps lights and swore if i ever saw another blurple grow light i would burn it. I never cussed so much in my life i almost said the hell with it and quit growing live and learn right.

Don’t mix nutrients or trim while high or drunk and if doing work in big room keep a green flash light with you because when you move plants all around and are so high you see fish titties and you blocked your path so you can pull off dead leaves and the lights go it can take along time to get out of 30x60 room and people will still laugh about it years later.

@ThcinKC hahaha I agree about tending garden drunk or high
I was so high one time I mixed my nutrients 50x normal strength and even said this looks really dark as I feed my plants but feed them I did
I woke up the next morning in a panic realizing at that point what I did
I ran down to the grow room and looked at cooked plants
I flushed them fir what seemed like forever and finished them off but damage was done and I learned my lesson
Always tend garden then hit the dab rig hahahaha
Too funny guys

Left cap of fresh quart sized bottle of ph pen storage solution on shelf next to plants. While reaching for my beer, bumped it with my elbow and knocked it off shelf completely draining. Shit happens right? Did same thing a week or two later with my full replacement bottle lol.

The worst mistake of all was to use a closet as a grow place that had louvered vents on the doors, and mounting a fan at the top of the inside of one of the doors as ventilation
What I didn’t realize was that the louvers (since they pointed down) threw the exhaust air to the bottom, where it got sucked back in - so the cooling my plants needed never happened
I lost four plants and had no idea at the time
First grow I did 2 plants in one container, in Miracle Grow. Root bound and burnt, still got some keepable stuff but not much

Got a few different strains around at any given time. I keep some sativas of varying strngth as well as a couple pretty stout indicas. I had a real good sour diesel that was great for working outside and getting stuff done around the house. I packed a bowl and 2 big bong rips later i was off to trim some plants.
Get a big bud out the grow room and snipped a couple fan leaves and realized i missed one and cut 3" off the main kola. Ok, shit happens. Then a few secinds later did it to the 2nd largest kola. At this point i realized i was high as a giraffe’s nutz.
Went back upstairs to the smokin lounge and turns out the weed i packed up was my cinderella that was exeptionally strong. Its not a bong rippin strain, its more of a roll one and sail away for a hour or two before bed time.

Good times with the Ganja.
