Hi,
I'm growing stevia indoors. I have a liver problem so stevia is the only sweetener I can eat. I have 2 plants in 12 inch pots that I plan to grow indoors with a grow light. I have a few questions.
- What's fertilizer brand should I use? I've heard certain fertilizers make the plant taste bad.
-How long should I run the grow light every day? It also gets some light from the window, but its east facing which is not ideal.
-When you harvest the leaves do you leave the stem or cut that too? I read on one site to harvest at 8 inches tall. My plant is 9, but not growing wide and pretty small. Should I cut everything above 8 inch? I don't want to kill it.
-My grow light can be white, white/blue, white/red, or White/red/blue. I assume I need White/blue? Red promoted flowering which we don't want in a stevia plant right?
Thanks,
Cody
