Will this thing ever produce?

This is my first grow and i started with 3 plants in an active hydro system with a 150 hps light. The first 2 plants warrant another post altogether, but they are gone now. The 3rd and final remaining plant seems very healthy but at almost 4 weeks it is only about 4 inches tall and has about 6 sets of leaves. Is this thing ever going to be big enough to produce anything or is it just a genetic runt?

what is the temp in your grow room, what is the ph of your soil/water, do you have any pictures, is there any marks or disfigurements on the fan leaves?the are so many more questions i could ask before being able to tell you if it will grow anything.

temp varies, never below 70 or over 80. water ph is 6.5 there are a couple yellow spots on the lower fan leaves but i think it is from prolonged contact with a nasty buildup problem i have since taken care of. as far as pics i will see what i can do, i dont own a pc so i am doing all this from my smartphone which limits my ability to navigate/upload things. i cant see why i wouldnt be able to get some pics up in the near future.

what light cycle are you on 12/12, 18/6, straight 24? what strain (if you know)? did it ever go 12/12 or start the flower cycle? from my experience any plant will grow if it has been shocked it may take awhile for it to come down. you may be better off keeping it on the back burner and starting some new seedlings and if it ever does mature than sweat if not you realy didn't loose anything.

it is on 18/6 right now, i didnt plan on flowering it for a couple more weeks. not sure of the strain since it is my first grow i just got the seeds from a friend, but they are definitley from quality buds. i have been looking at nirvana seeds for future grows but that whole thing kinda makes me nervous. as far as the ph is concerned i have read a lot of differing posts. some seem to think it needs to be between 5 and 6, some between 6 and 7. i guess i will keep it a little lower.

Hydro PH has to be lower. 5.5-6.0 optimal hydro, 6.0-6.5 for soil. Not sure wy, but I've read it lots of times.

have any of you guys ever ordered seeds from nirvana? if so are there any pointers outside of the standard "dont send it to my house" and "dont pay with my credit card" kind of stuff that might help set my mind at ease about the fact that i am ordering pot seeds over the net?

Dont know if you can order straight from nirvana depending were you live. I heard attitudeseedcompany.com are very discreet and they do send in the U.S . If you do order you should def. get it sent to a friend or relative house. And about paying for get a prepaid debit card.:bigjoint:

i thought i read that nirvana does ship to the u.s., maybe i was mistaken. it would have to be a pretty good friend to let me ship some seeds to them, how bout a p.o box under a fake name?

can you get a criminal charge if they catch you buying seeds in the mail? Has anyone ever heard of anyone getting charged with a crime from ordering seeds online?

well i have never known anyone to get in trouble for it, but i also dont know anyone who has ever done it. first off if you purchase seeds there is no question about what you intend to do with them. bu even if that alone isnt enough to prosecute for cultivation, it is definitely enough to warrant investigation which will eventually warrant a warrant (haha words are fun) which will lead to unwanted visitors in your house and unwanted visits to court/jail. in short, dont get caught buying seeds.

i only know 1 person who has ever grown before, or at least only one that has told me. since the whole thing is of such a sensitive nature online seed ordering is not really the kind of thing that comes up in day to day conversation lol.

I have bought some seeds from DR.Chronic and had fantastic delivery time and the package was just an envelope that looked like the junk mail checks that you get twice a week lmao. It was in fact so discrete that I thought that it was junk mail until I saw UK printed on the envelope only problem that I had was a few beans were cracked but hey you win some and you lose some.... p.s. if you really think that any officer of any kind is gona come to your door and bust it down for ordering a 10 pack of seeds your foolish our government niether has the time nor the recources.

"foolish" is a little harsh. i prefer "cautious" and before you call me foolish, check your usage of your/you're, also consult a dictionary about the spelling of "resources" bad grammar is far more foolish than thinking the COPS might actually CARE about people GROWING REEFER!
