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
