Anger Management in the grow room......

Today I was so excited, I got some new lights and was changing them out when the worst thing happened, I was multitasking and got sidetracked, when I returned to my setup, I found my lights sitting on top of my plant, just burning away............OH MY GOD WTF...........I threw my new lights across the room destroying them.........well......... After all was said and done, half of my one month old girl was burnt beyond recognition and a brand new light setup was destroyed. (Lesson of the day, Never take your anger out on your equipment, and always pay attention to what you are doing in the grow room )

Anger in the grow room will never produce good results, What I should have done is- 1. Turn my lights off 2. walk away and smoke a bowl 3. Came back, check the damage, trim burnt spots
4. Setup new lights on other grow 5. Smoke another bowl

But because of my lack of control, I am now out serious money and a better light, and my plant is still burnt.......

Well it's good that you learned from your mistake. I never get angry in the grow room, not a good environment. And now all it did was set you back money and time. I would call you a dumbass but you seem to have learned your lesson. When I'm dealing with hanging lights I always make sure they are totally secure so this never happens.

lmao dumbass. What are you a 4 year old? It wasn't the lights fault you cant hook it on to something correctly.

What kinda light? Did you throw the ballast too? Or we're they fluorescent or led?

this has gotta be some cfl shit

Was it the lights fault or your yours? Slap yourself in the head.

Take deep breath and relax.

Glad it wasn't your kid that did it....

Honestly I'm not an angry person, nor have I ever broken anything due to anger...... I know the reason I reacted so angrily , it's because this will be my last grow for a while due to new living arrangements, and I was counting on the best yield from all of my plants, but now this plant is damaged and wont produce much, but something is better than nothing right.

They were T5's, oh well I bought them used from a friend. NOT that, that makes it any better, they were still new to me.........Lesson learned, at least I will be able to get something from the plant, not the yield I was planing, but as I said, something is better than nothing.

Hey Wordz- STFU- I know I'm not the only person in the world, to ever have made a mistake, plus having a life out side of growing isn't a mistake!!!!!

ive been pretty pissed in the grow room but i would never take it out on anything. would just make me more angry if my stuff was broke. always smoke a bowl or 2 to calm down though.

the plant that was burned can still have a good yield. Just trim off the burned parts and baby her for awhile. Plants are peaceful beings, they grow best in a tranquil environment. If you want to learn to grow well, get control of your emotions Temper tantrums are for toddlers.

I agree temper tantrums are for toddlers, this was just a small moment where I lost control, the level of stress I have been under lately just got to me. I was just diagnosed with Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy about 15 days ago, and something had to give, this accident just pushed me over the edge.

Sorry 2 vent my problem here, I know this isn't a therapy forum, but this has been therapeutic...........

Big deal you broke a light...at least you didn't cock an Uzi and spray the room...

I have diabetic neuropathy too. I was just joking about the kid.

Do you have peripheral neuropathy or neuropathy? .They put me on Neurontin 600mg-3 times a day and Voltaren 75mg-2 times a day and Lodine 400mg if Voltaren doesn't work or makes me sick ( and it does make me sick ) so I'll be on Lodine next

Be careful of neurontin, it's a form of anti depressant. Find the right strain , put it in oil form, and it could beall you need...

I'm growing a strain of Amnesia that has a good medicinal value, hopefully it will be that strain........

I have numbing toes. I hate neurontin. BAD sexual side effects so I stopped it per MD. I use metformin, lisinopril and lost 40 lbs. Its stopped, sugar is about 107-117. I still get damn restless legs tho.

Everyone is entitled to make mistakes or have accidents, you can be forgiven for that
but to smash up your own lights too, all in the same day
i think you crossed the line with that one

what i am not fully understanding is why are you telling everyone ?
i think if i had been so stupid i would of kept it quiet

good luck, i think you need it
