hey, i have a lot of that, grows like crazy and is really nice, only one issue: whenever the plant is larger than 2 feet or so the bottom kind of turns black and melts down...i couldn't find any specifics on that online...:X is that supposed to happen or is there an issue going on? i have to have to replant and trim so often! ...thanks

I had the exact same problem but I don't know what caused it either. If you figure it out please let me know.

Usually, that happens when there's insufficient light, or when the tops of the plants significantly shade out the bottoms.

makes sence, i guess they grow so much and so quickly that the bottoms get covered and kind of die, thanks kris
