I didn't know what I was doing and tossed all six heirloom cherry tomato pods I was gifted in and let it go. Now I'm at 32 days and things are looking a bit bushy. You can see flowers from the top view. I have read on the aerogarden website in the knowledge base wiki found here that four weeks is too young to prune and I should wait until five weeks to prune, but my growth looks much further along than the picture they show. I did post elsewhere (reddit), and a few people responded telling me they would prune if it was them and mentioning pruning for good airflow. I have time to do that today, but wanted to share my growth so far and see if I could get any extra tips on how to go about this.

Hello an Welcome john! Nice looking tomatoes. I am new at growing them so I do not want to add too much. However please wait as others here do grow and do a great job. What I have done with mine, I trim off the dark old leaves to give some airflow. I do not go crazy, just a few that have no buds on them. I did wait until the plant was old enough as well .. UNLESS I saw yellowing or dead leaves. From what I do see they look good! Again, please wait for others to respond.

Thanks Shawn, I actually read through your tomato growing experience and it had a bunch of great info and was cool to see the growth.
