I have been growing my plant for about three weeks, meaning it sprouted from the dirt 3 weeks ago. My concern is that the plant is only about three inches tall, and from what I have heard, the plant is supposed to bud in about 10 weeks. My plant looks healthy, but it looks nowhere close to being at the budding stage. Is my plant's size normal or is there something wrong?

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

You practically answered your own question...obviously something is wrong unless it's a specific type of strain. You're trying to grow and you don't know the answer to things like this? Sucks to be you.:thumbsup:

It may be that your plant is still using all its energy putting out roots at the moment.
When the roots are established it will start to grow be patient.:hippy:

Like I already stated, you answered your own question in the first post. Why is the world full of stupid people? Seriously folks...lol

Let me explain it better for you since you're a little slow. Here is your original post..
"I have been growing my plant for about three weeks, meaning it sprouted from the dirt 3 weeks ago. My concern is that the plant is only about three inches tall, and from what I have heard, the plant is supposed to bud in about 10 weeks.

Now let's evaluate your words. " My concern is that the plant is only about three inches tall, and from what I have heard, the plant is supposed to bud in about 10 weeks."

So we have established that the plant is smaller than you thought it would be.

Your only actual question is "Is my plant's size normal or is there something wrong?"

Are you ready for the answer? Here it is in your own post ""I have been growing my plant for about three weeks, meaning it sprouted from the dirt 3 weeks ago."

So you're only 3 weeks into growing...OBVIOUSLY the plants are going to be short. YES the plants size is normal because it's only 3 weeks old. I would be concerned if you were at week 8 and only 3 inches tall but 3 weeks and 3 inches sounds pretty normal/not too unusual.

Now if you would of just done some simple Google searching or research growing for 15 minutes, you would of already known this. Do you know how many times people ask the same questions over and over on here that are already answered somewhere else? Too many.

We all had to start somwhere, Stupid no, more like a hunger for knowlege in the art of growing the sacred herb.
I know when i first started i would ask trival qestions but i did not know sweet fuck all as i was uneducated in any form of growing whatsoever.
So come on ease of a bit after all we all have at least one thing in common don't we.
I just felt i had to say this, and i am not having a pop at you.:hippy::rastasmoke:

No offense taken. I think "trivial questions" is the key phrase there. :hippy:

Let's start with how you are growing. Hydro or soil. If soil, what kind. Inside or outside, how much light is it getting so we can determine photosynthesis issues.
Over watering or under watering. (roots always wet?).
Shoot me some info, I will help you out.
Later,
Rooty.

I am using potting soil, and it is growing outside. It tends to get about 10-12 hours of sunlight everyday. And btw thanks "Greenthing" for the help, your advice makes sense.

Greenthing didn't even answer your question. As a matter of fact, no one did. I've already proven this. Read. I'm not trying to be a smart ass but this is one of the dumbest posts I've ever seen on these forums. People are lazy. ROFL :thumbsup:;):D:hippy:

Here let me copy and paste for you...

Yea, no doubt your children are still in dirty diapers. Perhaps too dirty.
The single most important factor of quality growing is what you put your precious little seeds into. Just "potting soil" may not be giving you all your plants need. Check out Genesis Soils, Genesis Soils (http://www.genesis-soils.com) they have organic compost with worm castings and mycorrhizal inoculum.Dude, their ain't nothin better, I have been lookin for 35 years and this is the good.
Hope this helps!!!

Actually my daughter is 4 and I was just using that as an example.

Here was his only question: "Is my plant's size normal or is there something wrong?". Now to most people who use the common sense deduction method, we know the answer is "yes it's normal for that age".

Unfortunately for you Rooty, you failed to answer his question. Hope that helps!!! :thumbsup::hippy: lol

damn. 4204lyfe.... Rofl. Dude, are ya out of bud, or is your little lady around and you prefer not to smoke around her or what? The way you are going about this is all fucked up.

For 1. You bitched him out for asking a question and wanting an answer instead of him Google'ing it.

An' t'en...you point out everyone's two cents they toss him and say...'That's not answering your question, blah blah.' Maybe they wanted to give him something to work with, instead of feeding him the exact words he wants to hear. Whether it's correct or not.

Who side are you on? Seems you can and need to go look in the mirror continue the argument there.

Breathe in the good things in life....now exhale the bad negative energies. don't you feel better? Trivial questions do happen here and its a bit annoying, I myself don't like to see people not using the search function to hone the quest for info. That said I think this world would be better with more compassion, and learn to laugh more then to get angry. People who smoke herb already crossed the point of opening their minds to things so this shouldn't be all that hard.

Now for a helpful idea: There is a plant problem form on this site and if you cut and paste it and fill it out, maybe add some pics of the plant and then post that on your thread,people could have more constructive help for you.. good luck and remember this is suppose to be fun.:hippy:

peace, live in it or rest in it.

Well stated. I apologize for how I answered, it was a little out of line. I just get so frustrated, as you mentioned. I agree that if we had more to work with, we could better help this guy. I guess the question itself about if it was normal or something wrong just rubbed me the wrong way. Once again my apologies. I can admit when I'm wrong. Some things that are going on in my personal life aren't helping either but I won't go into that. Peace.:hippy:

well maybe your strain is indica
indicas tend to grow smaller than sativas

if your plant is indica then ur in luck ! indicas are the ones that relax you and because they grow smaller, if u grow them outside they are easier to hide!

Hey man, it ain't the angle of the dangle, it's the motion of the ocean, know what I mean?

Everyone's all hung up on size!

How much light you giving it? 12 on, 12 off and lots of it?
