yeah, they'll make life without anything special, water dirt light....my first grows are experiments to see just how much they can take, they're taking a lot of stress so far...my husband accidentally threw clothes on top of my plants the other day in my closet, and it killed one, knocked it down completely, but the other survived with only a little bending and stuff...and it made more bud overnight as a result...

but i think any plant will make buds with just the essentials, and sometimes they don't want anything more than just that...mucho better luck next time dude...
