Nobody is perfect.

Over Vegging?
Over watering?
Always have bugs?
Lazy?
Bad trimmer?
Nutrition?



Mine is cloning. Have no idea how to do it. Never cared too.

Pushing mothers to the brink of death then having to revive them. I've let it happen a few times to my most closely held moms. That 1 green shoot on a fried plant saved my ass.

Never vegging long enough is one issue. Another is harvesting a little early and not being patient. To sum it all up it's patience. It really is a virtue.

Bad trimmer. I just don't care. When I break up a blunt, those bits of leaf are just as potent as the bud is, and maybe those being slightly less crusted over with trichomes could be a good thing, if burn quality is important... (and it is.)

Not removing enough shoots. Everytime I remove them I think I did too much, then I realize I should have done a lot more...

I have Over Veg Syndrome...I'm trying to work on it, but I grow so many strains that it's hard to keep them all just right. I also never like to flower plants that are too small, and as a result don't yield to their full potential in the space. I'm actually trying to flower some smaller plants this round, and we'll see how it turns out.

Getting clones to root. Have had mixed success with a couple different techniques. Seem to have the growing part going well, but the starting part not so much.

Triming, I hate the wrist pain for 4 days after a long session. So i do a quick once over and that's all.

Another weakness I have is that Im not interested in any fast finishers. I wish I was, but it seems like everything I want to grow is 10-12 weeks!

same exact thing here

The key is to use the stretch to your advantage.

Cloning, I just have terrible success rates sometimes, then pretty good ones another time. Of course I hardly get enough clones to take when I need them the most, and get the most when I don't need clones at all. This is with an aero cloner.

The other is not taking good enough care of mom plants and smaller vegging plants. I always get lazy and don't fertilize or water enough, and let them get root bound. I have a feeling the problem with cloning is directly related to this lol.

That's not so much as a weakness as it is having high standards.

Ive always thought of it as a weakness for the sours and such. There are plenty of potent herbs that finish way quicker and yield more. Even if I find something quick Ill still need to have some kind sour bitch in the room.
Im interested in BOG strains
