Confident Enough To Post Your Failures?

Beginning to start a new journal article for the website, was looking over archived pics, when I realized just how often I screw up. In a previous article I wrote, "Show me a grower who has never had a bad harvest and I’ll show you a grower who has never accomplished anything extraordinary.", so I went on a search for pics to illustrate my point.

Here's a brief intro into Chuck U. Farley's Little Shop of Horrors:

Forgot about this culled staminate plant, so it was in the basement for over a week, in total darkness. The older I get, the more I forget.

Frankenbush, a plant that was farthest back in my original 2X5 closest, so it got extra water and extra fertilizer... unfortunately:

Non bud botrytis, discovered inadvertently. It was terminated, with extreme prejudice:

Guess what moved up to the buds:

I think fabric containers are the most important advancement in developing cannabis in the last 20 years, even over LED lighting. But you have to be aware of problems they present over plastic and this was a big one. I routinely spray/mist potassium bicarb, not only on my plants but also the fabric containers, because it's an ideal breeding ground for mold and mildew. Here's one I missed:

I could post a bunch more but ya'll get my point.

Anone else brave enough to post their fuckups?:o

I didn't take a picture of the problem. One of my plants this year had big beautiful colas and should have yielded over a p for sure. When I chopped it a couple of weeks ago, I found the insides of the colas were rotted out with mold. I was only able to keep a few oz from it. The rest was trashed.

Growing outdoor always has some blemishes, but this was by far my worst rot/mold situation I've had.

This was my first grow. I started it inside and put outside for the summer season. We had an excess amount of rain and I didn't have a clue what I was doing, rain or not. I think the photo was taken maybe a couple of weeks before I pulled her.
