Dumb, Dumber and Dumbest thing you ever did surrounding cannabis grows!

Having my grow room in an area where my heat system/water heater/ plumbing/ and air conditioner is. 3000 square foot basement. Had to have a repairman come and took me almost 5 hours to move all that.

Put them back after so of course my hot water heater went out. State inspector has come check all new gas appliances here. Oh did i mention these were not babies or even regular size plants in 12 gallon air pots that had just been watered. Uggg
 
Letting my dogs come downstairs with me while I mix nutes and water with the tent open. Like an open invite to all the little creatures to come dine on my plants. Luckily, gnats are the only bug I have had.

Accidentally snapping the base of the stem because I was trying to avoid getting water on the leaves (she didn't make it lol).

Live and learn!
 
So dumb would be general over excitement during my first grow. Just couldn’t leave the girls alone and all my meddling surely affected my harvest.

Dumber would be deciding it was a good idea to try to tend to my plants after a night of drinking with the boys.

Dumbest isn’t really any one specific thing but more of a pattern of behavior that I battle everyday. My ADHD leaves me acting on my impulsive ideas and has led me to try every light other than T5’s, try every next best thing in supplements, and every grow style/ training method I can think of.
 
During my first grow I freaked out about a non existent pest problem, so used DE all over them, but the problem was that I decided to wash it all off during flowering, with rain water, at the start of monsoon season, when I had them all covered with black plastic to force flowering, with no air exchange either. You can guess how that went! Lost half my crop to bud rot. Lesson learned, at least mostly. :o
 
Dumb growing hermies thinking I could keep it in check
Dumber growing clones of above plants in same tent without proper cleaning and thinking I could keep it in check.
Dumbest might be planting the seeds from said plants without properly amending holes and have nothing to feed them (truely wild grow) thinking they will be female.

I've definitely done some stupid lst, planted in crappy soil, and had something fall, snap, or break. Didn't know what to feed or when. What week feed chart I should be in got confusing. Not checking ph etcetera. All first time grow mistakes without researching anything. But it was some killer smoke 😆.
 
dumb I use a scoop to water with it holds a half gallon ,I have always had issues in bloom with needing to flush because of lock out well this time I caught it early and realized why with the help of Campesino ,I wasn't watering to run off but I was still watering every day I checked run off and it overloaded my meter at 5000 ppm

I also sprayed this stuff called deff guard supposed to prevent WPM well it works by killing your plant lol I had dead spots on all of my girls
 
Ok yesterday i beat my prior stupid. Left the house and apparently the power went out for a time. Came back and the clock said 540. My timer is set to turn my flowering off at 6. I went down and the light is out. This one isnt on solar battery backup. I was afraid the light had blown. So i changed the bulb. Checked the power and then thought my fixture had given out. Go upstairs and look at another clock and it was 655. When i looked before i looked at a clock that was wrong. Spent almost 20 minutes trying to fix something that was doing exactly what it was set to do.

The 20 minutes wasnt the completely stupid part. It was that my flowering plants got 20 minutes of a very small bit of.light in their dark cycle. Im gonna hate myself if they hermie.
 
That is probably partially responsible for yesterday. I get up at 3am everyday. By 6 im usually hurting to bad to do anything. Well, I WASNT HURTING, so didn't realize it was that late.
