Today we could not find our cats anywhere... For about 4 hrs we were calling them.
When we went to check on the plants, we found them in the air intake tubing, here's the pic below. There is 2 cats but you can only see the one. Now we know who was munching on their leaves in our last grow... Cheeky Buggers...

Cats are talented, one time i had taken a plant out of the growroom, and was watering it ( it was no taller then 8 inches at that time) inspecting the plant and all the fun stuff, and out of no where my cat came flying through the doorway, jumped onto my chair, and did a flying leap and actually snagged a fanleaf! even though i dont appreciate them eating my plants i do give them the occasional fan leaf, and all the fan leaves from harvest, of course i was so amazed at the acrobatics my cat performed i trimmed a couple fans for her

Yes. I also have a new pet in the grow room. 2 Black Angelfish in a planted aquarium. I'll try to remember a picture. Now the darn cat drinks from the filer. Its a whispser biowheel. I am thinking about using the water to feed my herb because the water is now rich with micro and macro nutrients and the "box" of gravel is alive with micro organisms that removes amonima. Something the plants can take up rather easy.

Some of the plants in the tank I grew myself. I don't know the names, but I have a sharp red broad leafed plant on a background of feather green plants. As for gravel, I put it in a small rubbermaid. At first it looks different, but the set up give the fish a bottom full of plants and a an open area. It's not that bad and I haven't lost a fish yet. I'm hoping it's a pair, a male and a female. And that they feel safe enough to make little fishes.

It was a kit that included, tank, filter, light and hood for about 30 bucks. I had to buy the heater, gravel plants and fish. The fish are under 12/12 with the plant. Maybe they'll flower too.

Sorry if I'm hijacking but these are the pets that frequent the grow room.

Way back in the day when I first started smoking I use to pick up off a guy I played hockey with. Almost every bag I every bought had some type of hair in it... I always assumed it was some type of animal hair. 2 years go by and my friend asked me if I would be interested in helping him and a couple buddies out with a harvest.

As I was sitting in his grow room trimming up some buds I see his 120lbs American bull dog run through his room and rubbing up on every plant he walked by. Seeing this explain everything about the suspicious hairs I found in almost every bag I ever bought from him.

In my opinion its sloppy to allow pets in your grow room. They can track in all kinds of pest.

Haha, funny story tho we never deliberaltly let our pets in there. Some times after being under those bright lights for so long, when you open the door to walk out, ya can't see a frikkin thing until your eyes adjust. Every time without fail after entering grow room, the cats will be at the door waiting for it to open. It happened a bit at the start, but after time they have learn't not to go in there and just wait at the door for us to come out.
I 100% agree that there is nothing worst than buying/smoking any kind of hair in ya mj. But we also don't have to worry about other people as it's all personal smoke for my husband and I.

Take care and thanks for sharing...

Great storey's and pics all....

I finally found some spare time to catch my cat in the act. We had just finished trimming some fan leaves for some art work that I do, and I usually I press dry them, but on this occasion, I left them on the bedside table to assist Shaun with watering the girls. When I came back this is what I finally caught:
