Your best growing bloopers...

As Im waiting for my PCing to get done I got to thinking of the funny/horrible things that have happened in past grow attempts. So I thought it would be funny for other people to share the stupid/funny/horrible mishaps theyve had while growing. Ill start..
1. While measuring out the proper amount of birdseed the other day I had a bad grip on the bag and it just ripped completely open. 2 lbs of birdseed all over my kitchen floor and we dont own a broom in our household.
2. A couple years back I had a ghetto fruiting chamber which consisted of a rubbermaid tub with a fishtank light superglued to the top of it hanging down. So one day I check on it and my light fell off and landed in my casings while still on. Needless to say I had to scrap that grow.

When I first went to use a spore syringe I thought the cap was an adapter. I squirted myself twice in the face before I figured it out.

that is hillarious!!!
...um well, the other night i was PCing my PF pints, and forgot that i was pressure cooking. around 3 hours later i noticed the smell, and was like, "OH SHIT MY PC!!!". so i checked them when they cooled, and they shriveled in the jars soo bad that it was like little verm/rice rocks. DOUGH!!!!!!!! 
One time i was inocculating a LC, and the syringe was stuck in place, so i pushed it harder, and it squirted almost 8cc into my LC. not too much of a los since my LC colonized very good. lol. I then had 200cc of myc...

1. I've had a PC blow a gasket at 15psi thank God I wasn't near it! 2. I've ran a PC full of WBS bags dry! What a mess!! 3. My first success was when I actually failed and threw the cooler with cakes in the corner of the basement and left it for a couple of days I went to clean it up a low and behold lots of little shrooms and my first grow my own trip began! 4. I shook a jars fresh out of the PC when the bottom came off, rye everywhere!!!! 5. I sniffed some cool looking mold to see what it smelled like and died.

hahahah, that shit about the 2 lbs of wbs all over the kitchen floor is hella funny, not to mention not havin a broom. fuckin shit, that birdseed goes EVERYWHERE!!! u'll be seein seeds for months after makin up some jars even when you try to be neat and clean. Anway, my worst right now was when i tried to pc my jars without any water and only a little h202 in the bottom which kinda always stays their.... doesnt seem to wanna evap or somethin. So after 10ish minutes and not seeing the right amount of steam comin up outa the pc i get a little curious. 20 seconds later and im like "oh FUCK! totally forgot the water; deffinate requirement!!!! lol. so pretty much the jars (Wbs) were all fucked, i proceeded with the pc'n anyway (after puttin some water in of course) but even lc never got em going. I really like this thread though and am excited to see what everyone else has done. -shroomR

i strabbed myself in the finger with my spore syring when i took of the cap... it was stuck of for some reason. but of course i had 70% alcohole on hand so other then some stinging i was fine haha.
oh and one time i had just used the last cc of a syringe and my forearm somehow managed to touch my flame. the sudden sensation of burning caused me to toss the syringe. it stuck right in the wall a foot away.

I didn't think this was that funny, but my wife found it HILARIOUS, so maybe you guys will get a kick out of it. The other night I had a beautiful full cake of GT's nearly ready for harvest. I thought to myself, "Self, this would make an excellent photo." I pulled out the digital camera, pulled out my picture perfect cake, and then clumsily dropped/tossed it on the floor, completely destroying every single delicate fruit. Fucking grrrrr!

i went to the grocery store to get some brown rice, when i ripped the bag off the thing i guess it ripped a little whole aswell (without me noticing)... so i put in the rice and went off to get some honey (for liquid culture) and then i went to the cash register, as i wait there i look behind me and see a trail of brown rice leading directly to me, and my bag had barely any more rice... i went and got more and saw a dude cleaning it up and i appologized and said id clean it up but he said hed do it for me anyway

1.) falling asleep while late night PC'n.... (smell burning)
2.) received spawn bags in the mail from a legend old hand, had one left and decided to make a substrate bag out of rye. Come to find out those bags were not autoclavable.
3.) finding out that you have contaminated lc.... after 180 qt jars. (test it! first!!!!)
4.) going down to the basement caring newly cased casing trays like a waiter 2 at a time... needless to say i droped them both. First goes one, throws off balance, then goes the other in a blink of an eye. (my basement isn't the cleenest thing till you get to my cleanroom)
5.) not a blooper but funny as hell.... i found a field mouse in my house. found him living under my stove in the little cookie sheet holder drawyer. come to find out that the mouse was living on rye and birdseed. and i wondered why my floor was soo clean??!? the mouse picked up after me, he had a whole pile full of grain and i should have kept him... i went through the trouble of killing him after i named him charlie the grain mouse. (should have ate the WBS and stayed away from the peanut butter....temptations)
6.) burning your arm in the same place every time your reach behind a hot pc on the backburner to turn the temp down to med after achieving 15psi.
7.) i've had a grain jar bottom fall out on me to due to pressure. Make a mess of wet kernels... but i gotta say they don't bounce around like dry ones do.

See that jar of agar? Of course huh? Well, it's set up so I can simply microwave it for use. Well, I was yanking it out of the microwave to pour some dishes and it slipped out of my hand. It was hot as hell of course. When it tipped over, I guess the agar stopped up the poly fill plug. The damn plug came shooting out of the jar because of the pressure, along with the hot agar. It shot all over the rack of dishes I just washed, the walls, the stove and sadly my cat that was eating just below. lol! Man, he took off rather quickly. So, I thought he was ok. So after cleaning the huge mess up in the kitchen, I tracked the cat down. To my surprise he had dried agar all over him. It didn't hurt him thankfully but, he certainly didn't appreciate it. lol!

i once left a casing substrate in the microwave - my parents found "dirt" in a container in the microwave.
askeed why - i said "its for the dogs feet when she steps outside"
believe me

I had some shit in the oven pasteurizing, and I was sitting here on the shroomery. I lost track of time and forget to check the temp of the poo. It got up to 210 degrees maximum.
The next day when I went to spawn to it I open the oven bag in my bedroom and nearly puked from the smell. Might as well of stuck my head into a porta-potty's shitter hole and took a big whiff like I was smelling some dank buds or something.

I have a pet rat and at night i let her run around and do what ever because she is potty trained, yea that's right she has a bathroom in her cage and uses it. Well one night i was drying some treasure cove caps under glasses for prints...... well she knock them over and consumed a good 3 caps before she must have realized but i found her hiding scared to death in the morning and she didn't calm down for almost a week. It was sooo funny.
Also i was shaking a syringe for knocking up my WBS and my needle came lose and stuck me right in the thy. I felt so stupid.
