Well I’ve only got one grow to call on so it’s not gonna be that embarrassing or funny

But the worst part of the experience was definitely losing over an oz to bud rot when we thought we were doing so well

My funniest and worst growing story is building this rdwc system. Ha. I’ve just over complicated sooooo much. Ha. Should’ve just used rigid pvc from the beginning for returns. That would’ve saved me the hassle of dealing with the flexible pvc and barbed fittings. Don’t really have any tools, so it’s this constant process of realizing I need something, ordering it, it not being great or quite right, and on and on. Ha. My little tiny hacksaw I’ve been trying to cut pvc with just quit on me, so tomorrow I have to grab something better. Have a pipe cutter that I bought for this, but it doesn’t fit 2” pipe. The scrog net needs soft plant tie deals for the net now too, because the string is just to loose. Could only tighten it so much with a pvc frame. Nightmare, but the actual building of the system is much simpler than I thought. Whenever I do it again, it’ll be a breeze with all of the right stuff from the beginning. Also, once again big thanks to bbbb for helping me understand what I needed to in order to build this system.

There has been loads, i mean loads....but heres one that sticks in my mind.

i could probably tell you about the time i stupidly decided to do a huge outdoor adventure (at latitude 57, ) what the fuck was i thinking.
I decided to go big or go home and bought loads of seeds , over 100...put loads of seeds into the propogators in February/ March time, got them all up and ready to go, biggish plants by the time they went out.
I was all excited thinking of the kilos of bud i was gonna haul out of those woods.

i went and bought loads of bags of soil , and i mean loads, i was buying them 10 at a time, daily for weeks, cos the site soil was too sandy and acidic, so i got a 100 litre bergen, and one bag at a time, i humped them all into the woods. Miles and miles i marched, like a demented marine, but without the fitness or killer instinct.........till i got them to the sites (always a good idea to spread the love, in case of rippers etc)

Instead of taking the easy option and just cutting a hole in the bag and sticking the fork through the bottom, i dug holes for weeks.

Loads of galvanised netting to keep the deer at bay, bamboo up the wazzoo etc

loads more bags of soil fertiliser, blood fish and bone and after just about killing myself trekking tons of bags of soil into miles of forest, in the middle of no where, and spending a couple of hundred on bags of mud, i got them planted.

i even took down water for them 25 litre drums, with amendments... oh it was gonna be great.....and they grew, and they grew like mad, it was a decent summmer , and they were looking great, till the rains started, and rot set in, i ended up with about half an ounce......... fucking gutted doesnt come close.

i used up the last of my pre year 2000 AK47, and a load of other great genetics that we will never see again, with various rare and delicious beans from on this shambles, they were monsterous beasts. before the rot....

And thats why i hate soil....GMO.....

My funniest but sad story was my 2nd time growing, I did get a pack of seed, 5 and did all in one big pot outdoor with coco and soil, all was coming relatively good but I saw a sign in one of the fan leaf, it look like magnesium def, well I buy epsom salt, I did follow the instructions from a tutorial, they tell the amount per liters, but I didn't know the size so I did a way too much and kill all just with an terrible overdose in the end of August 🤦 no grow this year but I learn my lesson about "don't fuck it up" :lol:

I was about 17yrs old , a strain of no name I had for the first time got me soo ripped. I was at a friend's roommates house and we had just helped clean the house my friend asked me if I would go fetch her cigarettes out the back sliding glass door. Mind you the glass was so clean like super clean and I was soooooo high. .. I walked right into the door and shattered the window with my knee. I had to call my dad after the roommate came home to the destruction and my friends were able to stop the guy from killing me . Service showed up an hr later and I had to explain to a military sergeant about how stoned I really was cuz really it was a closed door but it was a clear closed door ...

And thus began another story about working off a 500 dollar door replacement and 2 yrs of ROTC with California Military Academy at camp san Luis Obispo.

And that never stopped me from blazing like a chieftain.

I guess my worst experience would be when I mixed my own super soil.
It ended up being very hot. The only thing I can think of is too much bat guano.
But, any how I kept mixing in more inert ingredients to reduce the nitrogen in it.
It's still too hot and I've got at least twice the amount of soil I need.
Oh well live and learn.

The other day when I was high I solved one of the world's greatest problems.
Unfortunately five minutes later I forgot what I was doing.
