"Ill never do that agan"; The ultimate list of no no's

[driftersmokinjo]

i will never replace the fans and power strip in my flower box without taping off the little red LED in the switch on the strip....

whittled myself down from 4 females to 3 hermie and a girl....fukin little red light....

....she doin' a good job though.....

done that and the bright blue led clock display on the portable heater. spent 2 months trying to figure why i kept gitting hermies. then 1 day while sitting in the flower room looking for light leeks i noticed the time on the clock and the light came on

I will never NOT wash my pots. Clean pots = no probs

And I will damn sure try to not unplug my cloner to check the roots.....as I always seem to forget to plug it back in. DOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[abitavenger]

never trust the manufacturer recommended dosage for fertilizer

 

[Goodkarma]

Scales?

So many scales that the plant looked like it had a gallon of soy sauce or motor oil dumped on it.

Citrus trees can be scale magnets, scales are the nastiest creatures you can have. I could wipe handfuls of scales that covered the entire stalk and was the consistency of snot.

I would dunk all my used pots in a 40 gallon trash can with bleach in it every year.

First time I didn't , I had problems.

Never kill all the males of a really valuable rare strain again, ever.

Without pollen & resulting seeds there will be no future Cannabis generations and that is not groovy.

 

[bigwity]

i will never ever cut my crop early cos i have no smoke

Been there ... Done That

Been there ... Done That

Ill never use organic nutes! A few years ago i decided to grow completely organic. I filled my holes with rich soil and organic nutes. I had to replant every plant i had at least 5 times, and i only harvested about 6 plants. The rest were dug up over and over again by every racoon, oppossum, skunk, deer, and mink that passed by them.

Many of us have have sung the same sad song.

However, "organic nutes" aren't really the problem.

It's a matter of which nutes are used, where, and when.

Using "fish emulsion" in the Spring will indeed attract all kinds of critters. They will dig, climb, and crawl, for a free snack. The same goes for blood-meal ... maybe even worse.

When blood meal is allowed to break-down for a few weeks, in a moist container of "Super Soil", with worm castings & the rest, it won't attract critters when placed in a prepared hole.

One good organic nute that won't attract critters ( and might even repel them ) is processed sewer sludge. It's complete with all the needed micro's, plus an extra dose of Iron. The dry granules are slow release, and can't burn plants. Available at most garden & big box stores under the name "Milorganite".

Here's our "Never Again" promise:

We'll never use any of those bullshit indoor "liquid hoodoo" hydro chemical short-cuts again. None. Zip, Zero.

Tried to speed up a few plants one year with "Dark Energy".

Total disaster ... "hormone havoc" ruined everything it touched.

Hydro "boosters" are the spawn of Satan.

DWC can be very finnicky, by that I mean it only takes a few moments for the entire submerged root system to die in a non-aerated nutrient solution. So be mindful when your changing the resevoir or unplugging, never just let the plants roots sit in an unaearted solution for any period of time.

always quarantine the plants you get from clubs for mites, spray your plants for PM before you see PM,

 

[kirk_bud]

To go along with High Country---- I will never drop my 400W HPS directly on top of a budding plant! Although it does indicate how resilient these babies are, it does piss them off.

 

[PNW_grown]

i will never take clones from anyone but a close friend that has no pests and ive seen the finished results. if i want to take a chance on gettin a keeper ill pop some seeds

i got clones from a seattle clinic and got PM, then i got some mothers from the Tacoma Hemp Club (or thc) and they had a full blown mite infestation and fungus gnats or winged gnats. Id rather grow bagseed anyday

 

[talktosamson]

So nice that you have clubs to get cuts from up there though, I wish I had a place to openly buy DNA in Oregon. Shitty on the pests...but something is better than nothing.

 

[tedlarrrge]

I will never fuck around in a state where im not protected by my doctors note.... Looks like i will never take a step out of my beautiful beloved state of California again... Not dissing the other 12 or 13 medi states!! but enough is enough!! Im comin home a felon cali... hold the door!!!! END THIS LAME ASS PROHIBITION ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!

 

[IamAdirtyGirl]

I will never set my glass of red wine so close to my clones again!

 

[pabstbluerippon]

cool thread, DS Toker makes me think of a silverback(RIP) thread ahhh.......good times

1. never forget to apply mosquito spray(at least in my area) those fuckers used to get me so good it was scary

2. dont change your mind in july that you do want to do a geurilla patch, early start is important to outgrow the local weeds

 

[santasapimp]

never mention cops around my mum

 

[Guest129216]

1.Never plant so far away that watering/caring will be a problem.

2.Never think you're gonna have plenty of time to do all the preparing before it's too late.

3.Never tell more people than the ones you absolutely trust.

That was my list, but i only have one outdoor grow under my wing. Will probably add a lot after this season......

1 - don't count on anyone for anything whether it be to supply clones, seeds, come out to give you a hand or whatever, only rely on yourself.
2 - don't cut corners. Hungover on saturday morning and don't want to drag your ass up the mountain to check on the girls? You're all lined up for failure.
3 - Don't leave the prep work until the last minute, do as much as you can as early as you can, it always takes longer than you thought it would.
4 - take a different route into the bush every time. Even if you leave the tiniest of trails, it's easy for the local wildlife to pick up on it and they'll actually start using it as a game trail too; before you know it there'll be a highway stampeded right to you're patch.
5 - load/unload everything as early as possibly in the morning, preferably before the sun comes up. I don't like doing anything at night because it's really surprizing how many rednecks drive around in the middle of the night shooting stuff and having bonfires in the middle of nowhere. Early morning is better, everyone is either still asleep or recovering from a massive hangover so it's a pretty safe hour.
6 - Never say "i'll do that next time I'm visiting the patch"; any work that has to be done should be done asap because you never know if you'll have to lay-low for a while or you might get sick hindering you from visiting the spot.

 

[GrnMtFinn]

never again will i hold off on fertilizing for 2 months. real nOob move.

 

[Hold Your Fire]

Indoors, never grow without a thermometer/Hygrometer, how can you do well without knowing your climate.
Outside, I'll never show anybody my plants again, damn, live and learn!
