okay , if i am growing it outside, in a large pot, can i treat it like a regular flower? does it really need everything everyone says(ex. 12hours light, lime, special soil ect..) Thanks!
If all you're going to do is look at it like a normal flower, then sure, treat it like a "regular flower". If you want to put a little extra effort in for a bigger and better yield, do it right and enjoy the end result.
