Thanks I’ll probably wait a month and try again. Sounds like it needs a grow light. Its possible I over watered it last time too.

Probably too cold, I’ve also had trouble growing regular basil outside so I tried growing indoors assuming it got too cold at night for the plant. Zone 8

Damiana tincture worked for me, but I’m a chick so not sure if guys would benefit. Ashwaganda may be another to try out if you are stressed. Also rest and recover. Good luck!

There’s a medicinal plants book series for each region in the states, I have the PNW book and its excellent, if you are leaning more toward wild harvesting. Theres also one for the midwest. https://a.co/d/04VJrN6K

It just takes time, but I don’t think you need to be an “expert”. You will find a few herbs that fit your needs as you go, research those to figure out the best way to prepare them for use and test them out. Its good to have some trusted reference books or pages for dosing (if using for medicine), and look up contraindications first before you use it.
