The mom LOOKS healthy, but she has gone through a lot. for a while she was squeezed onto a shelf that only has 2 feet vertical. mind you she was about 2.5 feet tall until i chopped her head off. I wasn't aware that plants in veg could be butchered without harm. so for a while she was kissing up with the cfl's, and i mean tongue to tongue ewww....until i took the axe to her. i don't yet know what the repercussions are from all this, whether or not her babies will be affected adversely, and so on. maybe someone could tell me?
