I was 48 when I found OG and some other site that is lost in the depths of my memory. Iām sure it would have taken me much longer without all the great help I got in '02 & '03. Before I started to hang out here, the word āhomegrownā just meant shit weed, now, even my thrip infested grows made better weed the I could find around here. I know that because there was a 3 month period during my worst wave of thrip invasion, that I had to buy weed. No comparison.

Smoke some really good weed beforehand? 
Sounds like a stoner moment to me.

Too many to count.
But letās just say. DO NOT put one of these under a dome with your expensive seedlings.

Thatās whatās up @Cobra50! With age comes resignation. Oleskool style just works. I donāt do much experimenting these days. I like stuff that works!
I got arrested in Friendswood Texas in 1969 when I was 17 for seedlings in dixie cups on my girlfriends apartment window. My Dad and the judge came to an agreement that I would join the Navy and leave the area, charges would be dropped. No record etc. I never looked back! First but not the last foiled grow. Peaceā¦

ive made every mistake in the book and killed thousands of plants. in the ealry days,. u had to learn on yur own and stumble through it. . i did some really stupid things, and i still doā¦ only difference now, is that i know exactly when and where i went wrong. But i guess, to me, my biggest regret is letting certain cuts go and holding beans that went bad before i got around to germing them. Itās the āwhat ifā factor that bothers me the mostā¦

I like small experiments. Like the ejuice I have sitting soaking. A YouTube video said it would work to just mix weed (in my case kief) with pg/vg and stir it several times per day and it will be ejuice in 30 days. The video author was making tincture, but it is extremely close to ejuice. It is supposed to be a completely odor free way to make the stuff. Iāve been disappointed in how my ejuice has been turning out.
Besides, I am retired. I have plenty of time to satisfy my enormous curiosity. 
Did your girlfriend get busted as well?
I forgot about that! I had purchased about 6-8 strains of seeds from CBay in 2002. I had at least one strain (Kali Mist) that I waited too long to germ out. Never even got a taste. 
Thatās the problem with a small grow, never enough space. I am currently growing out some really awesome plants from bag seeds. I have no idea what they are, only that one is very purple and one is very blonde. I just call them āPurpleā and āBlondeā.
Eventually, Iāll buy more seeds, Iād really like a strains that is high in indica, but, for now, I am enjoying the strains I have. I currently generate seeds about once per year to make sure I never have to buy a bunch of weed to find good seeds again. It took quite a few bags of purchased weed to get the strains I have. That was expensive, but unavoidable. 
That link keeps giving me a time out error trying to find the jpg. Could possibly post a copy of the picture? Thank you.

Hi everyone,
Itās been more than a week since Iāve seen a flyinā fucker in my home and longer since Iāve seen any indication of them in my plants, so, Iāve decided to put two plants in the flowering room into my nets (drilled pots). When I had no pests, these containers did really good. I knocked a week of flowering off of each strain with them. Going to see if my regret can turn around. I am thinking that if I stay vigilant for flyinā fuckers, this may work well.
Look at the pots for the 2 pots the plants in the fore ground are in:
Putting them into the nets this far along (1/2 way through their 49 day flowering cycle), will not ruin my yield if the little winged bastards come back, but it is early enough to get an a bigger yield if it the drilled pots work the way did before the little varmints came back.
We will see what we will see. 
Cheers!

Oh. Did it prove top be toxic to your seedlings? Iāve been using yellow sticky traps and bug zappers. I was a bit concerned when I put a bug zapper into my flowering room as I leave them on 24/7. It didnāt seem to be a problem, thankfully!

I use them on cuttings without a problem. But ya, it chocked the smaller seedlings over about 10 hrs.
Oh well, a day with out learning is a wasted day.

I have a new regret today. 
I decided to take my plants out of their areas to get better photos.
See the short one on the right?
This is the same plant 1 minute laterā¦ 
I saw it go over, but I had the taller plant in my hand and didnāt want to drop it while trying to save the one that was falling. This is one of those situations that I wish I couldāve taken back the last 10 seconds.
Fortunately, if you stitch it back together with some twist ties, it will repair itself with very little loss. Doesnāt stop the regret for having done it to start with.
