Oh there will definitely be insects indoors if you are not careful to no bring them in. But yeah HLVd is currently a real plant pandemic

Insects and Microorganisms are indeed wanted from my perspective - I grow in living soil and cherish any form of live. There are studies about certain fungi in the soil which lead to peach aroma and flowery terpenes. This plant is plenty of tastes: gasy and fruity, herbful. When you get a Banana Punch it feels like a fruit ensemble and the sweetest fruits just like grapes do need terroir
