What was your biggest grow-op disappointment?

Growing a patch away from home has always been risky. You can be ripped-off, busted, stormed on, munched, ratted-out... perils aplenty. Some seasons you harvest and others, well...
My biggest disappointment was my one attempt to pull of a big number. A mate and I busted our arses one winter lugging soil, drums, water etc. to a remote bush setting. Getting our seedlings up there early spring was pretty scary, too, but in the end our season was off to a flyer. We visited every weekend via different routes, ripped the males and counted the lbs of bud we'd cut. :) Bad move!
The week we planned to harvest there was a plume of smoke rising from the hills in the vicinity of our op. It was the burning-off season and a controlled burn set by the forestry dept. well away from our patch had gotten away. The wind shifted and took the front through our plot and burned us to the ground. We struggled to even find it with all the undergrowth and markers reduced to charcoal. :( We were gutted.
Anyone else had a season end in tears?
 
Fuck thats heavy, sorry to hear that mate.

I lost 5 plants a few years back due to floods. Would have yeiled over a pound

Some mother fucker ripped off some 6 ft sativas that would have yeiled 3 pounds+ all up. last year.

I know a mate who had this massive beast of a plant growing in his backyard, would have got close to 2 pounds but the dumbass showed the wrong people, and they cut it out one night mid flowering.

A few plants/plots been destroyed by kangaroos aswell. Nasty things :!
 
biggest disappointment was one plant. it was my first plant and it got stolen before it reached maturity. smooth sailing since then. had a close call once though - in a space about 6'x 4.5', 20 plants were growing strong. at 6 weeks i notice one plant is COVERED in this mold spore shit. immediately wrapped it up in a trash bag and removed it. somehow none of the other plants got the mold though :D
 
I had a friend who said he wanted to grow some plants from the midgrade we had been smoking, so I gave him a bunch of seeds and he started the germination process. He planted them, and as they grew, he constantly trimmed them. They were like bonzai weed plants. It took a good handful of months before the little bonzai weed started to bud, and finally when it was pretty much just getting ready to smoke, I stopped being friends with the guy. Don't know whatever happened to those little plants. My gripe was that he should have let them grow to big massive plats, but instead there was very little yield, even if what was there was powerful. I would have done it differently. He said he'd been growing weed plants his whole life but he understood very little about it, even the difference between male and female plants and how you get seeds. He can keep his tiny bonzai buds.
 
Last year we had planted 10 plants on the roof. They got to be about 3 feet tall behind my friends chimney. Yes it is possible to grow plants on your roof behind your chimney, you should look into it.

Then when they got so big we couldnt keep them there we cut power to a line in the yard dug it up connected our own wires to it and ran them under a deck into a grow box. The grow box had a 400W HPS set up for budding. we had 4 males and kept the 6 females in the box for flowering.

About 3 weeks left into it a "friend" who was drunk smashed through the wood and stole our plants. Not too big of a lose considering it proved how easy it is to grow if you think about it.

Plants on the roof -> rewired electricity to a hidden box under a deck (we dug 3ft into the groundto make the box taller) The best part it would have worked we didnt get caught by his parents or neightbors.
 
when i was 17 i decided to grow some plants in my bathroom just for fun. I messed up a few things and it ended up taking way longer than it should have. Anyway about 6 months later it was finally ready to be cut so i decided to do it on the weekend that was coming up. Then that night i borrowed my dads car, came home really high and passed out in my room with his keys.

So of course he needs them to go to work in the morning and comes knocking on my door. When i opened it to talk to him he noticed the light coming from the bathroom and got really suspicious. He ended up making me open unlock the bathroom, then tripped out took the plant and my bubbler that was next to it, took all my lighters and incense, took the door off my bedroom and grounded me for like 2 weeks.

It ended up being kind of good in the end though. AFter he cooled down and we talked about it i explained how i was just doing it for fun and not dealing, and this way i know what it is and i dont have to deal with a drug dealer. He ended up telling me about his days smoking in college and how he didnt care if i smoked as long as i wasnt driving.

It just sucked cuz i put so much work into that, rigging everything up, hiding it for six months, i had a few close calls too cuz we were in the process of moving so randomly my mom would come in and be like hey clean you room and bathroom somebodys coming to look at the house in half an hour. So id freak out and have to sneak this three foot plant out of my room with my whole family home haha. AND THREE DAYS BEFORE I WOULD HAVE CUT IT DOWN AND BEEN HOMEFREE

I also had a friend who had 8 giants growing in the hills, like 9 feet tall. He ended up having one of his friends help him haul water out there one time and the dude ended up jacking him. He denys it but my friend says he knows it was him because he smokes these obscure cigarettes, and when he discovered them missing there were those brand of ciggarette butts all over.
 
first time i tried i gave my friend 3 seeds mto grow but only one germinated. it grew about 5-10cm in container in the bush when it was stolen. the reason it was stolen is because he was/is a dumbfuck and was telling his friends and random ppl about the plant and showing a few.
 
The guy across the street from me grows, my one friend though it would be funny to take one of his plants, I told him not to and what do you know, next day there is a 5 foot tall plant in his room, I took that plant, carried it about a quarter mile down a main road, Gave it back to the guy. In return, he gave me half. :)
