Mistakes made in 08

My problem is I didn't start soon enough, I should have braught good soil with me from LA when I moved, I ended up harming my babies with crappy soil, and most importantly I didn't start enough f-ing plants!
 
Not knowing what is wrong with this leaf is going to be my biggest mistake of all. My garden looks terrible and this stuff is spreading FAST. What a disaster!

Omri...did your leaves last year when you lost your crop look like that?...

For your sake Chris I hope not...
 
I wasn't going to say it...
 
for this season,
- not planting enough seeds :lol: strangely the ones I did plant this year grew good unlike last season :( thats why I didnt plant as many thinking I couldnt keeping them going until plantout.
- not having grow lights, just used window lights, so plants not as big.
- some minor sunburn & wind damage while still harden the plants off

but otherwise nothing major so far :pray::lol:

this year (because of last year)I made some small wagons to keep my plants on, so I can bring 8-12 plants in at a time into the shed or house when storms/hail (to much rain plants are getting) or cold temps. it'll make it much easier & quicker (can move 75 plants in no time now)
 
the wagons are an excellent idea CH...good put...
 
my problems are
1) i planted too many for my grow area, will have to give about half my crop away
2) i keep forgeting to refill the water reservoir so my plants suffer from it
3) need to use sand next time with my dirt.
 
Where to start..lol

1. Bought Hyponex thinking I was saving money.
2. I let jiffy's get too hot and too wet when starting seeds.
3. General impatience.
 
Last two nights were very cold ,so I decided to try my Floating Row Covers which I purchased just in case.

So I covered my raised beds ,attached cover with pins and after first night I left cover for another night.So cover was on for almost 48 hours( I was to lazy to cover plants twice)
Today after taking cover off WHAT do I see??
My precious plants suffered damage from heat I guess during the day(even it was not too hot and white cover should reflect)-- this is what I was thinking...but damage is done.
So it is another lesson ...be careful with Floating Row Covers.
 
I lost a packet of seeds. It's so embarrassing.
The 5 seeds I planted from it didn't come up, then I couldn't re-plant my Dorset Nagas. Doh!
2.Spending too much money on lights. In the name of research and future grows.
3.Buying more seeds. I already have too many.
4.Experimenting with expensive seeds, when I should use tried and true (If you find one) methods only, for my rarest kinds. Don't use risky procedures and waste your talents. (I still have 4 7-Pod seeds left waiting in their packet, If I haven't lost it. I'm germinating just one seed at a time.)
5.Wrong nutrients, wrong PH, wrong EC, Dissolved Solids/Salts. Huh? I need to buy equipment.
6.Not enough repotting.
7.More mistakes to
8.too
9.come...

Thanks for this thread!
 
My mistakes:

1. Letting my mother in law do some transplanting while I was at work... Lost track of what was where, so now I don't know what is what. Mothers in Law are evil. Period.

2. Not finding enough time to transplant at the right times.

3. Overwatering

4. Letting the Great Destroyer (My 10 month old son) near my plants.
 
Yeah really :oops: I don't know what happened to it. It was a Hot Pepper Tree (PI 267729). I only add the varieties to my growing list when they are developed enough so I know they won't die on me, but this seedling just, *poof* disappeared. I reckon someone knocked it off the windowsill by mistake and thought "Oh well there's so many she won't notice". Well I did notice.

* Bad, bad person if that was the case *
