You should be able 2 grow these outside. Mine aren't in flower just yet, but here's a pic I took 2 years ago - outdoors.

I grew them again this year from saved seed.

Nice pic dna, I think I'll try growing those next year.

I have tons of wild hops growing in my garden, which is a nice surprise. Beautiful aroma when you crush the cones.

My wild dagga might have looked like that if it weren't for the incredibly wet summer we've been having. The flowers are literally rotting off the stems before they've fully formed. It's all bit disappointing really.

The Wild Dagga plants have really picked up since my last post and are now flowering well, in spite of the cold nights. I'm picking some of the flowers, but I'm planning to let the rest go to seed, which I'd like to collect.

What's the best way to do this?

wait until they go brown and let them dry out. Then, over a container, stroke the spikes with your fingers. This will agitate the seeds, flicking them out into the container.

This is my Garden of the Gods. Hemp, Datura, Poppy and yopo. Most herbs are not very economical to grow at home.
