In a botanical sense, an herb is a plant that does not produce a woody stem and dies back each winter. We call these perennials. root system. Herbaceous plants include annuals, perennials, biennials, bulbs and grasses.
Tips
1. Best herbs are grow from scratch. From Seed.
2. Growing herbs for leaves tend to be the easiest to grow for beginners.
3. research your lights.. LED's have made leaps and bounds in the bast 18 months. hint hint. cheaper to run like 60%.
4. When growing from seed, keep in warm location ~80′F, cover seeds and remove cover for a few hours each day.
5. once sprouted remove cover and don't put in direct sunlight for a few days, don't keep to wet..
6. Once your plants have a few leave put them in direct light and let the growing begin.
7. Veg seeds for at least 16 hours then turn off lights. If you only give your plants 12 hours of light they will think it is time to fruit! they call it 12-12. you can veg your plants 24 hours a day and see a little better yield but I believe with electricity these days it isn't worth that little bit.
