yeah okay, if you're too busy trying to find fault in everything I say that you're willing to say something this nonsensical, then I'm not wasting anymore of my time.

I'm not 100% sure where you got that idea but the short answer is No.
The more involved answer is as follows:
Cardamine does not grow in harvest-able quantities or qualities on any planet besides Malta. Malta has a very specific set of conditions in the soil oceans and atmosphere that allow Cardamine to grow and thrive. Nowhere else in Sirius has these exact conditions to allow for such a thing to happen reliably. Planet Kitahara is the closest world to Malta in all of Sirius; it shares many of the same attributes and a very similar biosphere, and the Cardamine grown there is so pathetically weak compared to Maltese-grown crops that it's unfit for use.
Now, Malta right now maintains a monopoly on the Cardamine trade. No sensical Maltesian would wish for any world besides Malta to have cardamine growing on it naturally, as that would endanger the monopoly. Combine this with the facts mentioned before about it's particular tailoring to Malta and you can easily come to the conclusion that Cardamine will never really grow in any worthwhile sense outside of Malta itself.
Now, the reason Cardamine stands as a potentioal bio-weapon is it's properties in it's liquid state. Now, this is delving into nomad territory so you'll have to ask Conrad and Huggie about any changes but as last I knew it; Liquidized Cardamine took the form of a noxious acid that is rather hazardous for not only humans but also for any lifeform in the surrounding area, basically killing off anything besides Nomad tissue which for reasons that I haven't properly read up on, are immune. Factor that in, and you can see how it would work as a weaponized agent.
At some point, I need to gather together all the frequent misconceptions and facts about Cardamine possible and throw it into a "What you need to know about X" style video to prevent any further confusion. Time will tell if that comes to fruition or not.
Either way, hope that cleared things up for ya.
