PLANT CARE
You can begin harvesting baby leaves around day 20–25.
Clip the older, outermost leaves from the base of the plant, leaving the central growing tip intact.
The plant will regenerate new leaves, allowing you to harvest from the same system channel 3 to 4 times before the root system gets too dense and needs replacing.
