It's a bit hard to tell due to lighting, but it looks like all the rest of the foliage is healthy. If it were due to nutritional deficiency or the water change, you'd expect it to be global, not just the top leaves. If it's not a lot of leaves, I'd just remove them. The plant doesn't need to be feeding damaged leaves, anyway. It's busy enough with all that great fruit. You've done a great job. Happy plants yield lots of fruit, and that's one happy plant! Whoo Hoo!

For the peppers, I've had a pepper plant that took 29 days to sprout. It seems the hotter the pepper, the longer it takes. And they grow slow, too. Then after two months they hit a growth spurt. The next thing you know, you have 4-foot limbs. You have good looking gardens.

I removed some of the crispy/curled/discolored leaves at the top of the plant this morning and found the first ripening tomato! Though I waited until this evening to take a picture to make sure I wasn't just imagining it. THANK YOU to all who helped me figure out the problem. The pH measured 3.87, so it got an emergency rinse/refill, but I'm concerned that this happened just a week after the last R/R. I'll have to test every few days so I can catch it early if it happens again. Day 64 - first sign of ripening:  |

Oh, awesome! I’m so glad to hear it’s probably working out.

At Day 67, the first tomato is nearly ripe and a second one is ripening:  |

LOL, I was thinking the same thing. It looks like it recovered just fine. |

These tomatoes aren't sweet at all. The best are bland and the worst are sour, but I don't regret the decision to grow this. It was my first AG tomato project, and I love watching it grow. There's nothing like finding the first ripening tomato! I'm now growing 3 more dwarf varieties in AeroGardens, 2 in containers under grow lights, and 2 in hanging baskets on the patio. Day 94:  |

Bummer on the taste! It will be interesting to see how mine are. I love tomatoes and love to grow them. I've never grown any inside or under lights, so we shall see.

It is a shame they do not taste well. But a good learning experiment.
