Totally nothing wrong with teas. I was just saying that going without them adds another layer of difficulty. Kinda like how you grew in a beer cup that time, to see what was possible, learn, enhance your skill. Personally I think if teas are made of natural organic material (like yours are) then why the hell not? They are easier when you have less plants imo, so you can customize your tea, the application of it, etc. Your gal sure benefited from all the extra love! She will return the favour to you soon : )
