In my opinion you should continue with them, these are very wise plants. Please take your time and talk to them, I'm sure they will appreciate you doing so, and they will also let you know what is happening to them. Talk to them, nothing happens, no one will see you and believe me, you will be giving them a very important "extra".

I bet that if you do it, at the very least it will be an amazing experience, and I sense that it will be a very beautiful harvest.

You'll tell me in a few months (you can tag me, I'm very curious to know the result).
