    Basil is commonly affected by pests like aphids, nematodes, and thrips, and diseases such as damping off and fusarium wilt. It grows best when planted from seed or clone, in full sun, between 70-85°F, and at an EC of 1.6-2.2 and a pH of 6.2-6.8. Basil can yield 3-4 pounds per tower over a 5 week harvest period by pruning the apical meristem to encourage lateral growth.
