You know how dry Weed,which already lost most of his terpenes can smell,but flowers on the Plant smell alot more ;)

weedus, all i can say is you know nothing, it is allowed to grow on your balcony here in Netherlands. I know there are other balcony growers very close by. no big deal.

Can't say i say i noticed any springtails, I did battle with fungus gnats(common in spring), then aphids and thrips at the same time :twisted: Along with not the best light conditions the plants stretched to much to quickly, with the pests very little healthy new growth was forming so i ended up killing the 4 original plants.

The hermie plant is now dead after sprouting balls on it's main top.

I hope your indoor plants doing better :cry:

I think you are confused. plants were started indoors then put outside.

yes thrips and aphids were treated with conventional methods, mainly pyrethrum sprays and another 3 part combination offered in the local shop, the blight was never ending.



maybe next year :) I am busy now.

Bottom feed and keep the top dry. If growing in pots use something to cover the soil round the stem of the plant.
