Ordering some expensive seeds, planting them outside without protection, knowing there are wild boar, wild goats and other creatures around, then to see all little plants completely eaten.
Poekie ^^

My mistake is not following the Keep It Simple, Stupid method, I have the habit of wanting to try most of the tips/tricks for growing and have a 'one step forward, two steps back' issue, lol.

Making a concerted effort to stop doing that!✌

Used fresh cow manure once with a soil mix indoors and walked into thousands of shit flies not unlike Amityville horror. I could hear them buzzing from a room away. I shop vac'd thousands for about an hour and my fans took care of the rest. Nightmare but the plants didn't mind.

While doing single 5gallon nute changes in DWC, carry the next batch across the house and trip and dump 3gallon of fresh nutes everywhere.
That was fun cleaning up....

Wet/Dry vac/s;. can't do R/DWC without them.

Moreover, those kinds of systems seem to be the perfect embodiment of:

Murphy's Law;​
"Anything that can go wrong, will."​
O'Toole's Commentary;​
"Murphy was an optimist."​
Finagle's Corollary;​
"Anything that can go wrong, will—at the worst possible moment."​

Moving around the drain pans I have my plants sitting in once they grew up into the trellis net. I believe I moved it so much I damaged my roots. I’m not 100% sure but the more I think about it, I think that’s what happened.
Really dumb mistake that I didn’t even think about when I was doing it, and I wasn’t looking at the stalk, I was watching the runoff :(

So i was taking cuttings and topping my plants, Drop my cutters. I get up pour Straight 38% H2o2 onto the sciccors and immediatly go back to taking cuttings, WITHOUT RINSING THEM!
Pretty sure some of those cuttings aint gonna make it and i had a nice little white spot on my fingertip from not wearing gloves like an idiot XD

What are your guys biggest fails? Im so accident prone I get a little nervous every time i get out the PH down lol
Totally overreacting. It will be fine.

I had a problem with deer and wild boar tearing up plants on a remote guerilla grow outside angels camp,so I set up a stakeout hoping to shoot a pig to eat.Heard some rustling and shot(it was dark) needless to say it was a ripper and he was shot.I usually use shells loaded with salt but I used the pumkinball that night(late 1980's). I hid everything.Never went back I live about 4 hrs from there now and have the urge to revisit.I still ride dirt bikes every day and still own a 1973 xl250 that got me home(survivor)
