I can agree with #s 2, 6, and 7, but what does #10 have to do with the price of tea in China?

it is the nature of the beast, sometimes you have a dud and there is nothing else you can do

I tossed a plant in late July because it was completely bug infested. Put in new seed and now have healthy 6 foot plant.

Also good response. Cost benefit really plays into it.

[Tersky]

Very concise and very true. Great answer.

Last grow I had to throw away, it was just bunk. All the time I invested and nutrients really hurt, what was I to do? Keep it? No, I tossed a half pound of bunk and I am fine with it.

1. Provide space for other plants.
2. Irreparable bug and disease damage.
3. Less watering and nutes.
4. Less stress about a plant with issues.
5. Poor phenotype. I had a plant that was lousy with buds. But not a single trichome. The others were happy and chunky.
6. Won't spread bugs and diseases.
7. Males.
8. Recurring issues that don't go away.
9. GWE and the GWE Forum don't have all the answers.
10. Cats and clover.

Fjeff, you have to weigh the cost of growing verses what you get out of it. It don't make sense to pay $100.00 of resources to grow 1 or 2 grams of weed.

Why do people give the advice to throw away a plant. Don’t we want to encourage new growers to fight through the trouble and reach a harvest no matter how small. There is still more to do after harvest that they need to learn. Success is great even if only a gram or 2. We learn from failure. If you don’t have an answer direct them to the web site.
thanks for reading
good growing
