is it possible to have a plant grow up and grow bud if you dont use ANY form of nutrients or enhancers? call me crazy for asking lol, i'm just curious
 
Depends, indoor's or out? What kind of soil? How long do you wanna grow the plant? I've heard of people doing short grows with Ocean Forest and not adding a thing. Now I'm not gonna tell you you'll get great results like that, but it's possible. Also, if it's outdoors and you have rich soil you could probably get away with it.

All in all, if you want to get your plant anywhere near it's true potential, you will use nutrients.

yes, I tried out of curiosity and my plant is still green and healthy looking with about 10 days to go until harvest. I'll probably only yield a tiny amount since I only used about 20 oz of soil and no nutes. My next round of plants that I'm getting started are definitely gonna get more care and attention though.
 
Growing three plants without any nutes now actually. all 3 have been flowering for 5 weeks. they are all in cheap miracle grow dirt and have been livin off of just the miracle grow nutes for about 2 months now. definitely would not suggest doing this though, the smallest one has a major zinc deficiency... its like lime green lol and the other two have been switching between different nute deficiencies and toxicities, whatever they feel like pretty much. your plants look like shit, grow like shit, and bloom like shit, but hey... its cheap right. i got 5 more germinating now and im going to use advanced nutrients that i just got in, im done watching my plants curl up and wither only to come back to life the next day

I had a plant for about 5 months with no nutes. its about 5 in. tall with very few leaves. i just recently put it outside (it had been under cfl's) and that stem grew at an angle. AND I SNAPPED IT. just as i saw a cola coming in. now its out of its container and probably floating somewhere thanks to all the damn rain. haha
