What was it?
I did all that shit myself. lol except #4 oh add pm to the mixThis is funny. I have lots.
1) I somehow got through four entire cycles/rooms full of DWC hydro-buckets without EVER checking the pH of the solution - then I lost two months and thousands of $$ when the very predictable happened . . . .
2) Not using RO water with a municipal water supply (and yes I know I am talking to half the forum on that one)
3) Wasting a lot of money trying to rig shit instead of buying the right gear the first time- i.e. trying to use a bladed 30w duct-fan when a CAN 8" centrifugal fan was needed.
4) Not setting up odor mitigation while trimming down 20 oz's. The police showed up at my door with hash all over my fingers, trimmings everywhere, I was pie-eyed as hell. Apparently they could smell it when they pulled into the neighborhood.
"Sir we have a marijuana odor emanating from your house"
Four uniformed police interupting your trim job in the middle of Rachel Maddow has a way of scaring the living shit out of you. The med cards worked like a charm though. Good thing I had some smoke on hand. :)
And, far and away, my worst, costliest, most frustrating, boneheaded mistake EVER:
4) Buying clones that I knew had mites (some bum-hippy fuck advertising on craigslist back when you could do that) because I wanted the strain he was advertising.
The strain was shit and the mites turned out to be pyrethrin-immune - I didn't know they came like that then. I didn't respect the buggers yet.
I think I will probably come up with a bunch more.
I believed the nutrient company hype. All these products for this and that. Ha I get by with a few things per grow now not 16-20.

My first indoor grow was WAY too hot, had bugs, I set off a p bomb with the light on and fried all the leaves and I had 4-5' tall plants in one gallon pots :eek:. This was before the internet and I didn't know a single person that grew at the time. I still harvested some herb and paid a couple bills but it was a pathetic grow. It's pretty funny to look back on those days. I'll see if I can dig up a pic and scan it in at some point.
I have gone to trouble shoot gardens that were so bad, I stripped naked at my garage door rather than bring in spores and mites into my own garden.
under estimating the smell...
