In my country at the moment it is 12 hours daylight and 12 hours darkness - it is coming into autumn but days are still warm.

I planted seedlings about 7 weeks ago - they r now about 3 - 4 inches tall and one has purple flowers emerging. Yes they r tiny - probably the worlds smallest ganja plant!!

they will not have time to veg - they will flower immedietly i pressume - i know this will be a small plant with not much bud like all others on this site - but will i still get something from this?

i am really experimening for now to get better for my spring/summer.

i am growing outdoors - I CANNOT GROW INDOORS - so dont tell me to get lights.

by the way if i buy bottled drinking water will it be OK for ph levels - tap water is too ph high where i am.

I have never ph tested bottled water. Drink out of the tap (filtered) but wouldn't use that on my plants. Need to test whatever you water with.

Yeah you'll get something from it...I did this b4 and got about an 1/8 each plant, but besides that you'll be getting experience which is even more valuable...I don't know about the bottled water tho

Bottled spring water is fine, I used it myself the other week. I had not left enough tap water standing for watering my plants and I did not want to use water straight from the tap, so I went and got some spring water from the shop. I was happy to find the PH is about 6.8, at least the stuff in the UK is anyway, so you're good to go......unless adding nutes.

I think that the ph would vary from brand to brand. Distilled water might be more consistent. Dunno what do you think?

Yeah Mogie, like you said, you really need to test whatever you water with. Springs located in different parts of the country or world are going to be different I guess.

most bottled "spring water" (in the US) is actually just straight out of the municipal water supply wherever it is bottled. very little comes from a spring in the ground. it may or may not be better than your tap water.

distilled water has most of its minerals leached out before bottling. I would think it would be worthless for growing. maybe someone else knows otherwise.

if it didn't flower yet, try cloning the plants. in theory, i guess if its getting warmer and warmer, take cuttings from plants over and over to be prepared for the grow season.
