Hi there,
I had a small Passion #1 (by DP) male this year (popped only 2 beans, one got eaten by snails) and used it for tea (simply dried leaves plus boiling water and honey *g*). The taste/smell is great (IMO the only good thing about that plant)! Recently, I ran out of it and thought to myself: Why not try an indoor grow in the winter garden?
Bad thing is, the Passion #1 is a preferably outdoor plant... Does anyone have an idea which strain smells/tastes like it? Mind, I'm not interested in smoke taste but tea taste!!
Now, my limitations are that I don't gonna install extra lights and would try it in the terrarium (600W of T5 and HQI for 2 square-meters but 2 meters above ground, and a weed-eating dragon LoL). So, I'd prefer a plant with rather low light requirements.
Obviously, I'd like to have the plant only for tea (leaves) and hence would keep it in constant vegetation. Therefore, a strain not flowering on a 14/10 light cycle (that's what my beardie has) would be preferable; or even one which could be kept at 12/12 plus some small light (3 W LED or 7 W energy bulb?) for a few extra hours to avoid flowering.
Other plus factors would be easy handling and growth in common soil, easy cloning, fast growth and a lot of leaves.
Anyone an idea whether there is such a strain?
If not, do I have a realistic chance to grow Passion #1 under these conditions and get something useful out of it?
