Not medical benefits but antifungal as in good resistance to mold.. Or medicinally maybe it could be used topically for athlete's foot or something? But.. "Dogfennel contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids which can cause liver failure", better not experiment too much.
For dam sure better not! That's what i meant, not actually ingesting it, its been quite a while since ive read anything on it. To me, it's not a very pleasant smell, not bad either, but it is certainly rather unique
I would say that fresh does apply. Im not familiar with what anise or licorice are like. The smell only recently developed to be like that, waiting a few days has certainly paid off with more fragrant terps and a considerable amount of extra resin production, I'll continue to watch it, likely take it down next week to see if it wants add even more resin, but I certainly dont want to let it go past peak ripeness
I remember what i was reading one of the uses for it was, mosquito repellent and treating insect bites
A picture would help immensely in trying to determine the best course of action.
You could try supercropping. That has worked well for me in the past. The worst that can happen is you accidently break a branch, but if height is an issue you'd lose it anyway if you cut it back.
Id pinch the tops with it having a lot left to grow, as well as controlling the lateral length by pinching them not long after
Older are like muted fennel/pine, the younger plants almost like citrus thyme I got these confused with rosemary when they were young. smell differs depending on age, these grow all over my neighborhood.
Yeah definitely, personally I much preferred the longer flowering one. I’ll be culling any shorter flowering ones next run
I figured there had to be someone out there that knew what I was talking about. Whenever you pull one up out of the ground you can smell it immediately.
