After giving my AGs a rest post-aphid attack I've decided it's been long enough to safely try restarting them.
Today I planted a single AeroGarden Ghost Pepper pod in the left unit of a Farm Plus. Starting with AG nutes and we'll see where things go as we (hopefully) progress.

When several of my mint plants got aphids, I've been treating some of my plants with rubbing alcohol diluted in water to 40 or 45 percent strength. It seems to have wiped the bugs out and the plants are generally fine. Worth a try if you run into them again, but if you do it may be worth turning the AG lights off for a little bit after each treatment so the alcohol can evaporate before bright light hits the leaves again.

The dark leaves of the Ghost Pepper plant are spooky! 👻  |

Here was this plant a couple of weeks ago:  And here it is today:  It’s not gaining height as much as I would expect, but it looks healthy so I’ll leave it alone. |

Did this plant get pruned?

Did this plant get pruned? It was pruned according to the AG guide, but it’s been unusually short from the start. |

I have to look in my notes about pruning. Sometimes even tho it is said to prune you really do not have to. For example the Sweet Heats. I will find it later after my appointments and post it for you. Not that this would fall into it (maybe it would  ).
The wonderful joys of gardening, always a surprise even if you think you know what to except   |

No peppers on this one yet, but lots of flowers. It’s very big now. It’s the plant on the left in this photo.  I’m buzzing with the Be the Bee. Hopefully I’ll see some fruit set soon. |

This plant ended up being a dud. It produced tiny tiny peppers with no heat at all. Certainly didn't look like a Bhut Jolokia. So I terminated it.
Not sure if that's on AeroGarden or me. I've got an entire kit's worth of the same pods still sitting in storage. Maybe I'll try again someday.
