Lemon Basil Seeds

I planted my seeds in my hydroponic grow machine and they sprouted with a week and a couple or three weeks later, I was able to snip a few leaves! Everything that grows in the hydroponic grower grows really well. My cilantro seeds, however, did not germinate in it. I have successfully grown thyme, parsley, dill, lettuce, and of course, my lemon basil in it. To preserve the lemon basil I cut, I put the stems in a tiny glass of water, and in about a week, it had grown long, silky, white roots, so I planted each stem in Epsom Organic Potting Soil and set them outside in a predominately shady spot and they are doing well. Growing up so that I need to snip some more off the top. I have them in only a hour or so of full sun a day, because they're on a concrete patio on 100+ degrees all day! I water them through every other day. Hoping to keep them alive through the summer, but I don't expect them to flourish. They really do smell and taste lemony, by the way.
