I remember a thread on Overgrow called I POCKED MY EYE OUT (WITH PICS)
I thought it was hilarious that he misspelled poked, and of course the pictures were great, he jammed his eye into one of our friendly green stakes. anybody remember that one?

peace
jip

Oh shit!! The only reason I have eyes...is because I wear glasses!! I get those bamboo stakes in my eyes, and have caught them in the ear a couple of times!!
 
Two disasters....one being spider mites.....enough said.

Second....being robbed and coming home to nothing in my room and close to a lb missing.


Livid is about the only word to describe my mood.

Quit growing for quite sometime after those mishaps....just now am back to my first harvest in over a year.

My forgetfullness with hoses brought down so many ceilings I had to learn to plaster .... the ex would not let me grow above us in the loft unless I fitted a "swimming pool" liner to catch it all, twice I went up and stepped into a pond.... but it held firm and I still have me cahones attached where god intended.....

However my best one was just 2 weeks ago .....

Bored this summer of using 1L of GHE pH- per week on the hot ladies I got my shop to get me a 5L tub of Growth Technology pH-, much cheaper and as it turned out way way stronger, I was using a quarter of the amount that I used of the GHE, yet the tub was going down quick... oh and melting concrete below it...er a leak ...... so I simply decanted the strong Phosphoric acid into mineral water bottles.

This posed no problems for me, it is clearly not water, weighs 3x what you would expect, however my mate X had just popped over for a Trim n Smoke holiday and he was very thirsty.....

Yes folks, I can confirm that even the very strongest pH- is safe to drink .... he got a good mouthfull, swallowed none, spat it out straight away and has been relatively normal since.

Jesus lads put wine corks on the end of plant stakes, saved my eyes more than once and their a great excuse to crack open a bottle of wine.


Great idea. I may start my wine cork collection tonight!

GotDAMN!!! sounds like you all had some fucked up run ins with some shit.


about last year i had a 1000watt MH bulb explode before i had put in the tempered glass to the reflector..

i just thank got i was home at the time. the wires and filament were hanging down and touching a plant. (now i'm no electrician or fire marshal for that matter but my guess is any longer than 10 minutes and i could have had a major disaster on my hands)

soo all in all i suffered some burnt buds/leaves, burnt water trays, and burnt carpet.. YES thats right i isaid burnt carpet, was growing this shit in a carpeted room at the time. hahahaah when i moved, between the stains, the burns on the carpet along with glass shards melted in it.. kinda made me worried my land lord would think i had a F'ing meth lab going or something..

Fkn ell, lucky he didnt swallow. Sure that couldnt be to healthy for ya.


LOL, no, nor was it shaken or stirred....

He said "It tasted metallicy, so I knew straightaway it was not water"


I just has an email from him this morning, so I can confirm that, at least for the moment, he is still alive.

My last grow i had the awsome idea of using rockwool cubes directly in a dwc without netpots. Well 5 weeks into flower my schrom fell thru into the res, it was pretty hectic but i managed to fix it with some wooden sticks(thank god). Still can't beileve none of the other plants fell thru :bashhead:

I'm still waiting for the day when I rub against a little exposed piece 1000watt wire connected to the ballast

Not my story, but I read about somebody's cat dying from probably drinking reservoir or runoff water.. :( I love my cats company but I worry about him drinking some bad water and dying plus he sees all the soil in the house as his litter box...

I like how my cat doesnt rip apart plants liek a dog would
