its way to easy to get ahead of yourself in this hobby
Amen to that! I had things ticking along, slowly but nicely, with a single bubbleponics system and two plants. It was going to be good. Then I got a PM...
Someone offered me clones. Being an extreme newbie with only 4 seeds to my name, I jumped at the opportunity as though I would never have another. So I took the clones and rooted them. He sent 13. I managed to successfully root 12. OMG...what the hell did I need with TWELVE more plants? Besides being over my legal limit, it put me outside my comfort zone AND in danger of overcrowding my grow space.
But they were alive! I can't get rid of them if they are alive! I ended up keeping the six best and distributing the rest to local growers here. But that still left me with 8 plants...then my Vanilla Kush tried to die. I probably should have let it. But again, I can't seem to let go of living weed. So I fought for it and helped it survive...BUT, when I thought I was losing it, did I count my remaining blessings and be content? No, of course not. I popped another seed and Kaya Gold joined the group.
Meanwhile I had this oddball reveg thing going on with the bud from my former Alice. I honestly never counted that one when counting my plants because I didn't know what it was going to do, if anything at all. But, it lived and thrived too.
So now, my original 2 plant bubbleponics system fell apart and turned into 2 DWC buckets and 6 soil pots in the grow room and two soil pots in a separate 32x36x24" cardboard box. And I still scratch my head in amazement.
