Your best growing bloopers...
    #5416182 - 03/18/06 03:05 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

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!!!!!!!! :confused: :confused:

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... :shocked:

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.

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 :grin:

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 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.

(Still colonized fine no contams :thumbup:)

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.

we bought our first 4qt PC at walmart and i figured since it was from walmart it probably wasn't at 15psi so i put a wet sponge on top to increase the pressure...then i decided to put a wood spoon on that just in case... well OPPS! the safety ring blew out and melted setting of the fire alarm in our apt (we just moved in) the whole place filled with horrible smoke getting us loopy (and a terrible headache) we had about 3oz of pot on the counter and mushroom stuff all over!!! was terrified it might auto call (or our neighbors) the 911 cause we couldn't get it to turn off for a few mi, and our neighbors came over yelling at us... after it all cooled the PC was completely warped outwards like a ball, so i returned it to walmart and bought one on ebay :smile:  what a horrible experience!!!

LOL OMFG best quote ever.

I was picking my nose(had a nasty cold) while inspecting my first grow bag, as in first atempt. I somehow ripped the bag and touched the MYC with a nasty buggered finger. overnight mold had grown in this nasty green/blue/orange. kinda trippy to look at though.

Not a blupper but w "ooops!" the first time i grew with WBS i had my bags weighed out in verious amounts. I wanted to do 3grams. but i grabbed a 1/4 bag instead. had fasted for 2days and about 30minutes later i reliezed i made a mistake... duh...

I guess I ought to share my blooper too, (and I got pictures  :blush: )
Anyway I had a small pot of Azuresensce spawned to woodchips and cased with soil. I picked it up to check on it and see if it was pinning, and guess what happened.....

This is why I will only use Lysol wipes in a hepa filtered glove box.

Years ago, I sprayed lysol in my glove box, let it sit for half an hour. When I came back and tryed to flame streilize a needle, it blew up. Their was a 4-5 foot flash fire. The glove box lid hit the ceiling. One corner stuck in the sheetrock so it hung there. I didn't see it right away so I thought it had been disinagrated.
Another time I left the gloves off so it could vent the flamable gasses. Half hour later, I passed a flame infront of one of the holes to make sure it had vented. A blue flame flowed out of one arm hole like a flame thrower or a cannon blast. It burned all the hair off of the back of one arm. As the flame died down it backed up into the glove box. It glowed blue and bulged out, after makin a loud whoop sound the flame shot out the other arm hole. When the glow was gone the heated plastic warped inward.
I was lucky it was a fast burning gas and not a flamable liquid.

Have fun,
Be safe.

I was cooling some casing soil in a giant turkey oven bag in my freezer to speed things up, some how the bag got open and I was sweeping peatmoss and coir outta my freezer for an hour. Still haven't stuck myself with a syringe yet, sure it will happen at some point...

TIP: get your needles from ink cartrige refill kits. They are longer and blunt. No holes in you.

Another blooper: Of course I have burned myself with a just flamed needle before. I forgot about that one.

Once, in a complete grow ROOM set-up (adjoining a large green-house)20 some odd 12 quart trays of compost 4 inch's deep, spawned @ 20% rate & covered with pin holed cling wrap were nearing 100% colonization, without any contamination. Farmer Jones was a happy camper, at this point.

2 days later, Jones enters grow room, to discover every trays cling wrap cover had about a 1/2 in hole in it & some little creature (or group of creatures) had been rooting around in EVERY SINGLE F*CKING TRAY.

Totally perplexed, Jones looked EVERYWHERE for any spot a tiny creature could enter that room & found NONE.

Next day Jones finds the same thing AGAIN, only this time WORSE.


Meet Mr. Shrew & about 22 family members.
Who chewed out a finger sized hole in the rubber seal at the bottom of the entry door.

Needless to say, EVERY SINGLE F*CKING TRAY CONTAMINATED. :mad2:

Bottom of rubber door seal was replaced with a thin strip of 18 gauge sheet metal.
Which resolved the SHREW PROBLEM. :rolleyes:

I haven't had many bloopers yet.  One day as I was sitting in the kitchen with some jars PCing, my brother walks up to the stove.  I probably should have warned him not to touch it, but I honestly didn't believe anyone was dumb enough to reach out and grab the pressure regulator! 
Luckily he didn't pull the whole thing off, as he pulled his hand away as soon as extremely hot water was flying in his direction.  I was able to just push the regulator back into position, thank god for the safety backup thing!

haven't been growing that much (it's only my second time around doing PF tek) but the first time i cooked the LC jars along with the substrate and wondered why i'm not getting any results...

i did it this time too... wasted half a syrange of the last of one strain... then i started reading about LC a little more to find out it shouldn't be PCed for that long

oh well...

I started growing when I was in high school and living with my mom. So all the work I had to do, I had to time for when she would be gone and I could get away with using the kitchen. One day, I had an oven bag full of vermiculite which I was sterilizing. Everything was going ok as far as I knew... I was just watching TV waiting for it to finish, then all over a sudden I heard this phenomenal BOOM. It was terrible. It sounded like a bomb had gone off. I ran into the kitchen to see what had happened, and apparantly the oven bag had got stuck in the steam release hole, and the pressure got so high it blew the weight and safety release off. I thought that one of the neighbors had to have heard and there would be cops there any minute to arrest me. I don't remember what I did with the PC, but I know I spent the next 45 minutes before my mom got home frantically cleaning vermiculite off of the ceiling.

Damn mice!

Just the other day I was spawning some horse manure. After finishing packing it down a bit, I had to go down stairs to get some foil to cover the tub with. Well when I got back upstairs to my surprise my damn kitten was standing in the middle of the tub. lol! I can't wait to see how the pans out. Maybe this was a retaliation for me spraying hot agar all over the other cat. I knew they were up to something.

I was making a spore syringe in a glove box. When pulling off the needle cap which was stuck a bit I jerked it off and ran the needle right through my finger on the other hand. When I pulled my hand out it was sticking clean through. Now I always make sure I can remove the cap BEFORE I put them in a glove box.

When I first started I would not grind up the rice....I just left the grains whole and thought that the myc broke it down into BRF....
After I found out that you had to grind it up I would make up jars and then inoculate then sterilize then I'd wonder why nothing ever grew :\

Then once I figured out you sterilized then inoculated I took all my jar's put them in ziplock bag's and filled them up about half way up with lysol that kills 99.9% of bacteria....Then I wonder'd why nothing grew once again....absolutly no air exchange lol...hmm

what else, After I finally sucesfully colonized jars I began useing colonized cakes as spawn into more verm+brf to get a nice casing going. :smile:

hahahahaha

this is great, and it's a chance to share my moron-ness with everybody,
because before, i was way too embarassed to tell.......

i got all high-first mistake- and proceeded to start preparing my PF jars,
for the first time.....

i read in a tek somewhere to microwave the dry vermiculite for 15 minutes...
so, as i was mixing all my shit, i threw it in in the wave inside a pyrex
bowl

i don't know WHAT THE FUCK i was thinking, but i opened up the wave after 10
minutes, and grabbed it with my rubber gloved hands.......

burnt the rubber through to my finger---so i threw the bowl on the counter
and ran to the sink........

then, in the corner of my eye i see black smoke filling the kitchen.....

the bowl was burning a hole in the counter.

i freaked out and ran-got my boyfriend, and he was freaking, because the
bowl was about to start a fire, but we couldn't grab it because it was going
to explode

so i threw a blanket over him and he ran in and threw the bowl in the sink

you could hear it rattling from the heat, getting ready to explode

i went into the bathroom to rinse my fingers, and all you heard was a huge
boom....

we go into the kicthen- glass and vermiculite EVERYWHERE

the counter was still burning, and smoking.

BTW- i live in an apartment, which i just moved into about 5 months
ago........

BYE BYE security deposit!!!!!

you should've seen that burn hole, it went all the way through to the wood
that's under the panel stuff.

it was horrible-and to top it off, i had huge blisters on three of my
fingers for 2 weeks.

man, it sucked. but i learned my lesson.

I failed to check a jar for cracks before shaking and put a rather large piece of it through my hand.

I still have little feeling in my ring and little fingers on that hand as well as a rather gnarly scar.

ALWAYS CHECK YOUR JARS FOR CRACKS!

And that is something worth yelling about.

lol ive been stuck quite a few times ( usually with used sharps) and i could go on for days about dropping shit lol im far from graceful...

once i had the edge of the PC on the counter while i was using it ( without knowing it of course) and it burned a deep hole in the counter

But one of the worst ( tho i didnt know it at the the time) was i had a turkey roasting bag filled with 1/2 a bag of verm that i had just finished nuking for a casing layer rip open right over the sink.
i got out what i could, then washed the rest down the drain

i awoke the next day to a massive clog that required me to replace a large section of my kitchens plumbing...

verm doesnt go anywhere near my plumbing anymore

Well, I was sterilizing 4 syringes on my stove. However, a group of friends came over unexpectedly, and imagine my look when I tried to explain why it was exactly I had a bunch of syringes in my posession. Eventually they believed the bio experiment excuse, after they stopped checking my arms for track marks :frown:

In my hpoo prep area in the garage, I was prepping a hpoo casing to be sterilized. When I moved the pan over to my finished are, a little hpoo crumbs fell onto my weed tray. So, I forgot to pick the hpoo crumbs out and next time I went out to smoke, I rolled up the last remnants of my baggie and the little bit laying on the tray and fired up a spliff laced with hpoo.... It tasted a bit rank.

After my first pf tek adventure, I had one jar of mean green at 80% colonization. So, I did what any good nature loving guy would do and set the casing free in the wild. I buried it under some mulch in the back part of my flower bed. The next morning, I go outside to smoke a square and drink a cup of coffee and the squirrels were eating the BRF cake. They were acting completley nuts. They were fighting, running around chasing each other, falling off the fence and out of the trees. One of them even charged at me. They were definitley Effed the love up.

Awesome thread. Enjoyed reading the bloopers, even learned a few things to watch out for.... :grin:

Well I have only had one unforgetably comedic account with my new hobby in the short 3 months that I have been doing it. It was hilarious, even as i sat there in complete utter realization of what had happened. I had made a post about it called "The Incubator From Hell."

Quote:

Akira said:
So I built a TIT with two 50 gallon Rubbermaids. Nothing special, just a regular TIT with a 200 watt aquarium heater and a small water pump to circulate the water for leveled temps. Its been running for about 2 weeks now.

Last night I get a knock on my door at about 4 AM. It was my friend who is staying in my house, he tells me that the dogs shit in the house (I have three American Bull Dogs, two of them are puppies). As I get up from my bed to go clean their mess and place mt foot on the floor, I realised the floor was wet. I figured that iut was a small flood from the cool mist running 24/7 or maybe a cup I spilt. But as I begin to walk in my room i realise the whole damn room is FLOODED!

The bottom rubbermaid apparently had a small crack from all the wait I had on the TIT. I had placed some stuff I had no room for on top of it. Big damn mistake. their must have been 1/2 inch of water on my room floor at 4 freaking AM. Everything I had on the floor was soaken wet! So I spent 4 hours between cleaning shit, piss, water, and then fixing the damn TIT. Crazy experience, no more placing materials on top of my TIT.

I have made too many mistakes to mention

1: I use plastic lids. I prepare 36 qts and hot out of the PC tighten them as tight as I can. Talk about Angry. I could not get them open to save my life. Had to get help and use two jar grips.

2: dum de dum....load up glove box...spray with lysol. got everything in there ...99% alcohol rag. I have alcohol all over my gloved hand. Lysol in the air and I flame the needle. consequently Lighting me on fire. Burning the hair off both arms and burning several holes in my greenhouse<clean room> as I frantically tried to put the fire out. Not to mention that I had no fresh air in there and was just breathing lysol.

The first blooper I had was that I had just made a casing in a glovebox that only had saran wrap over the top so I could see through it, when I was moving around other jars outside of the box and dropped one onto the saran wrap and it fell through and put a huge hole in the casing I'd just made.

But my all time favorite was about a week ago I was a little high and decided to shoot up some jars. Well I had an open container of rubbing alcohol in there and I accidentally knocked it over and spilled some. Well I didn't think about it as I picked up my lighter to flame the needle. I flicked my bic and in a flash it caught the whole lighter on fire so I dropped it and it landed in the puddle of alcohol and the whole damned thing burst into flames. Tried using bong water but that didn't work, and then had to make two trips back and forth from the bathroom getting water to put it out. Smoke alarm went off and woke up the roommate.
