I thought I'd never say this but I am getting burned right the hell out growing. I am seriously considering planting absolutely nothing outside this year. I have some of those fems I made and will be doing those to the end and that's probably going to be it for me this year.
Happens to all of us. Usually about the time that there's 30 plants waiting to be trimmed and no extra hands. When something becomes a job, rather than a passionate avocation, there's bound to be moments when it all seems a pita.
Yep, and apathy was my fight song. You'd whine too if you just ran a room with 12 plants and 2 1kw lights and netted 10 oz's. I did not have one fuck to give. On the bright side, cheese krush grown inside is even more fire than grown outside. I remember having a discussion with useless once about seeds for sale that were marked "indoors" or "outdoors". I get it now, as far as quality goes, it's a true thing.
Well if I ran a room with 12 plants and got only 10 ozs, it wouldn't matter how much light I used. I be pissed off and be kicking myself in the ass for letting my space get fucked up. I would whine about it but I would fix it and get that shit right. I would be pissed off getting less than 40 ozs in that set-up. Rather than quit, you should get yourself a "bee under your bonnet" and make that shit right. I definitely wouldn't quit on a "down note", that's for sure.
Dude, if you don't need the $$ drop down to a single, cut the load. Do the family and friends gig until you feel the drive again. Lots of times I'll cut the garden in half just to relax for a cycle and get caught up. Gets tough being a one man band. Trimming, cloning, extracts, edibles. Always feels like there's something that isn't getting done. Nothing more discouraging than knowing you pooched a garden. Happens, but I know you ain't never gonna quit.
I dont think i will ever get burnt out on growing, it is my job and i still like it. I think part of it is that I like seeing the progress of the building of the company. I am pretty proud of what I've built, I just bought a $100000 greenhouse and don't plan on stopping there.
If I could experience the freedom you have it'd never get dull.:goodjob::not-worthy: So much of what burns me out is having to gear up everyday to deal with paranoia.
I dunno man, I run 22 lights....the work is a pure reward in its own if ya ask me. Ive been bent over and on my knees since 1996 at my 9-5 but it was more like a 5am to 6pm most days, ill take the garden life over anything else, anyday no matter what im pulling
I know exactly what your saying, I get burnt out and discouraged and turn the lights off for a while now and then. I'm just getting rolling again myself from a long break. It does suck being a one man band still doing the job and family thing. If it was my job it would be totally different.....and awesome!
