--Hey--- How ya doin Herb! -Are they the same seeds? -If they are, -howd it go the last time? -It sounds like ya either got a sativa or somethings wrong. -Even if they are sativas I dont think they could go much more than 3 weeks or so. -I think you should be able to tell wether ya got a sativa or not at this point, -if ya dont Id look for a prob with yer light. -Try and post some pics.

 

Wow, it was near impossible to read that half retarded post but OK! Did you change the light times? I think its suppose to be 12/12 or somthing. Also you need to get an MH bulb for it to bud, not keep the HPS on them. Check out overgrow.com

 

sativas can take up to 15 weeks to floewr and use hps bulbs for flower ,not Mh as mabus stated,as they are the wrong spectrum for flower and used for veg.

 

Yikes yeah got mixed up, isnt it MH then HPS?
