They look so healthy!

What's your secret?

Also did you hand pollinate or was it insect?

Thanks! They were hand pollinated. A good grow light is key, and only water when they start shriveling & looking thirsty. Also make sure to use mostly inorganic soil. Once you get them adjusted they really thrive on neglect
