The worst disaster I ever had was about a year before I went legal. I was renting a pretty decent sized space with 4 different rooms. One room was specifically reserved for the breeding program that I was trying to start. It was on the other side of my space and I had it specially constructed so that room had a closed circulation system. I mean, I took every precaution possible. (Or so I thought.)
So anyways, I HAD to leave town for a few days for a funeral and I left an employee whom I trusted and had worked for me for 2 years in charge. They knew the damned drill.
So whatever, I came back and everything seemed straight until a few weeks later. I’m going room to room doing plant audits and I notice a seed on one of my flowering plants. I look closer and I can see the plant is loaded with developing seeds. So I check the next plant and it’s the same. Then the next and the next and the next and so on. My ENTIRE room, 400 square feet of flowering plants are loaded with seeds.
So I check the next room and it’s the same shit. Like, 80% of my plants had seeds developing.
Then a few weeks after that after I flipped the room that was vegging to flower, started seeing seeds on THOSE as well. I lost 3 massive harvests, 1200 total square feet of plants gone.
The guy I had watching the grow while I was away got curious about what was going on in the breeding room and decided to check it out “real quick” and thought that if he just washed his hands and wore a hat that it’d be fine.
And another time there was a horrible storm that knocked power out for a week and I lost everything again. My clones, my vegging plants, my flowering plants, and even bud that was drying in my climate controlled rooms ended up not drying correctly.
I remember just sitting on the floor surrounded by wilted, shriveled plants crying my absolute tits off. Lol.
