Beginners Hazing - Big Crop Flops

This being my first year of growing, and since I am teaching myself instead of working with someone who knows what theyre doing, I have encountered a problem with every plant I have tried to bring to harvest so far.
My grows have gone from terrible, to not so bad, to promising. But so far I still havent reached my goals.

I figure theres alot of people out there dealing with the trial and error phase that I like to call "hazeing".

Post pics and stories of your BIGGEST CROP FLOPS and WHOOPSIES!

R.I.P....

Ill start by posting some pics of my first harvest.

Plants I continued to flower even after they had been RAVAGED by mites.

Picture 1 is Gods Bubba Kush
Picture 2 is Rhino Glue
Picture 3 is another Gods Bubba Kush



Im also adding a picture of my 2nd harvest. A Black Do-Lato I cut down at week 6 due to Bud Rot.


Finally the last picture is of my next harvest. A beautiful Sensi Star that is sitting at week 4 right now.
