Learnt it the hard way thread

[Vador]

Hi,
Thought it would be nice to have somewhere to share those lessons you learnt the hard way.

I’ll start with, I just learnt the hard way to switch off extraction fans in the loft before removing ducting from filter in the tent.
It takes two seconds to unplug the fan or 20 minutes climbing around in the loft in my dressing gown to remove the bit of tape that got sucked up.
Lesson learned

Don't spill ph down on the sunglasses you use to fuck about in the tent when the hps is on.

Burns like fuck.

I now use apple cider vinegar as ph down and bicarb of soda to get it up.

Yep, I heard it travel all the way up the ducting rattling as it went, got to the fan and started making a noise similar to putting a playing card in your spokes lol, thought about all that itch fibreglass, ahh shit

I've knelt in spilt ph down at the beginning of summer and then spent the entire summer explaining chemical burns on my knees. Saying its carpet burns shuts people up

I'll add to the list l: I zip myself in and check for light leaks in between every grow as after i grew myself a million seeds I noticed afterwards I must have knocked a hot lamp into the side and burnt a hole right where the one of the attic spotlights was situated.

Don’t keep a pre mixed jug of ph down next to your resovoir…. Knocking it in and having to re mix 100lt of feed isn’t the best

I remember once I just finished a crop and needed to alter things in the groom now then I took down the 600 HID placed it on the carpet face down.... but ! But I forgot to unplug it the result was 5 am next morning the ballast fired up therefore setting the gaff on fire,if it wernt for our dogs we had me and polly would deffo be brown bread morale of the story always unplug your shit

Don't leave 100w cob lights face down on microfiber rags and then turn them on to test. Took me ages to scrape melted nylon off the Len's.
