i recently stopped growin(family responsabilitys/the fear/pigs/ripoffs/etc,etc)but its okay i've got a massive stash,i dont expect to see the police when i come home anymore,all my grow stuff is stashed away and ive got f1's,f2's,s1's and loads of crosses for when i come out of retirement;Dhehe
but i was thinking i have 3 regretts from my growing
1 why oh why oh why didnt i make more seeds?i all ways killed the men folk but it's so easy to just clone em,cut em back stickem in the corner,males dont need much light to flower.a good stud is worth his weight in gold and i killed em by the score DOH.and now i despretly search for seeds in my nuggs,but alas i just dont see em.i could have had seeds for life if only....:(
2 why didnt i start growin 20 years ago?the amount of time/money i've spent smokin crap,nothing is as good as your own,NOTHING..if your reading this and you want to start growin STOP READING.GET SOME SEEDS NOW and get poping once you start you will never want to stop,you'll be a farmer,you'll learn so much,even if they stop you growing you will allways be a farmer.and you'll know that your only 3/4 months from a nice fresh supply:D
3 the amount of silly arguments i've had is amazing,its all through keeping secrets.lying to people you love is horrible.them thinking you dont trust them is even worse.but you have to keep em safe.so you have to keep secrets.

SO growing regretts got any?

I think nuuthing is as good as your own also because of the sense of satisfaction when your smoking buds that you loved and cared for,

Good post, encouraging! Always good to hear the experience of a veteran grower.

1. Asking my girlfriend to live with me next year. (That is a growing regret, not a regret in itself because I love her).

2. Not buying genetics at the beginning of my grow, opting for bagseed instead.

3. Not checking the nute charts/asking people about nutes BEFORE over-feeding.

4. Not building a cabinet, instead cutting a hole in my apartment closet which I will now have to repair (just the door).

5. Not buying the correct loup (then again, now I have a 30x and a 10x !!)

My inline fan purchase. $300 down the tubes once all was said and done. Blew my stealth to hell and now it's all disconnected and unused. $300 would've bought a lot of beans.

Thats the truth. All you young cats stack your paper and dont worry about 24 inch rims. When it rains it poors. I have been blessed with being able to rehabilitate myself.

i regret lurking and not getting those freebie JLP sdogs cause i was to noid to sing up, then i signed up and got some to late in the summer and they all died from stem rott, cause it was hot and i over watered them. i lurked here for way too long and should have just signed up ,and i missed out on a lot of free testers. friends here are the best and they are very generous so stop lurking and sign up and join the fun already!

I never felt a thing but I saw a big black wad on my lamp one day. My lamp melted my cap!

Yeah - assuming that FFOF was anything other than what it is, i.e. a mediocre soil.

A couple of cycles was all it took - thank God.

The only time i feel regret ,is when i get really really really high,too high actually.And go in my grow room ,and think WTF am i doing .Thoughts of the neighbors,of smells,of making too much noise.

Then i snap down a notch into reality ,and realize i was just tooOo high.And that this hobby makes me happier than anything i can think of,..ive got the fever and the only prescription is more growing..
