AG3 Vs. Homebrew

How do you pollinate a pea?

[MacTech]

I'm assuming they're self-pollinating, like tomatoes....

I had a minor accident with the pea plant, when moving the homebrew rig into the 20L, one corner of the growlight fell and landed on the pea, creasing the stem in three places, I immediately moved it out of the homebrew and into it;s own water container, it seems to be doing okay for now, and bloom #1 has already started to form a tiny pea pod

I also moved the stock flower pod into another water container, that opened up two slots in the homebrew, so I added my Phlox pod that I had re-seeded with Salad Greens seeds, and added a Master Gardener pod that I've seeded with "Outredgeous" lettuce, a bright red Romaine lettuce

It's only been one day, and it's already germinated and putting out taproots, that's the fastest germinating lettuce plant I've seen yet

the tomatoes in the 6 Elite+ are doing well, the heavily pruned plant in the back right opening has set at least a dozen flowers, that I've pollinated with my Sonicare, the Golden in the front middle position is going all-out, at least 25 blossoms, and three developing tomatoes already, one is actually about 1/8" round already!, the plant on the left is nice and bushy, but is only halfheartedly producing flowers for now

the herbs in the AG6 are growing like weeds for the most part, the Dill, Basil, and Thyme are in a three-way drag race to see who gets the tallest first, right now the Dill has a *slight* edge being tall and spindly, the Basil is a very close second, and right on it's heels is the Thyme, the Oregano is plugging away steadilly, the Mint is taking the slow route, and the Savory is making up for lost time and is actually just a hair taller than the Mint already.....

And the bedroom is just barely beginning to smell Basil-y...

AG6 Elite+
Left front tomato plant; a dozen or so blooms, one tiny developing tomato, a few second-generation buds
center front tomato plant (Golden Harvest); Dear Og is this a heavy producer, at least 30+ developing tomatoes, 5 are approx. marble size, and the second generation of new buds are forming already
right rear tomato plant; about a dozen blooms, maybe 3 or 4 developing into tomatoes, plant is easily an inch shorter than the other two

AG6
Dill; about 2 to 2.5 inches tall, and throwing out finely branched leaves
Basil; about 2 inches tall, heavy, thick leaves, robust root system
Savory; about 3/4" tall, and starting to grow it;s first set of true leaves (this pod was started a week behind the other pods)
Mint; 1/4 inch tall, just breaking free of the top of the label, tiny leaves
Oregano; 1/4 inch tall, just breaking free of the top of the label but has good strong leaves
Thyme; main body of plant is approx. 1 inch tall, sprigs are about 2 inches tall

Homebrew;
Lettuce - salad greens kit growing like weeds, probably ready for a decent size salad on Sunday, Outredgeous seeds have sprouted and are about half an inch high, tomato plant in the background is growing strong, Chia plants are getting *huge* and sucking up all the nutes, it may be time to re-pot them in dirt, they're too greedy to share a lettuce garden

Darwin Pot; early winners are the Lemon and Thai basil, they've peeked their heads above the potting mix, and the unique ovoid baby leaves clearly identify them as basil

Sundew; seems to be languishing, not really doing well, but not dying

Venus Fly Trap; thriving, already growing two new traps
