What would cause a plant not to bud? I dont want to leave them in the ground if their not going to flower -=/
They will flower. WHERE are you? Down south? Im pretty far south and my outdoor plants are just now starting to barely show beginning buds.
Dont worry--- every day the hours of light get fewer. Soon as the plants "feel" the growing number of hours of dark, they will bud.
Look for your harvest around mid Oct.
Of course if you're in a hurry, you can stick a big cardboard box over the plant after 12 hours of light. But....you gotta NOT forget to remove the box every morning.
Be patient--the plant knows what it's doing.
Now....when you say, "Nirvana", do you mean Gypsy Nirvana/ seed boutique? Or the other Nirvana, a seed house (NOT a seed bank). GypsY Nirvana/seed boutique is great. Nirvana (the other one) sucks. They basically use the name, "Nirvana" so that people who google Nirvana, looking for Gypsy Nirvana will think they've found that great seed bank. So....be sure to google Gypsy Nirvana or go to seedboutique.com.
One of them is in the UK, the other is in the Netherlands. Im pretty sure Gypsy Nirvana is in the Netherlands and Nirvana is the UK....but I may have that backwards.
