4 weeks 1 day

My ag7 reached its 4th week yesterday.  The plants seem to like their new lights.  I trimmed the middle leaves on the tomatoes and basil, and can already see new growth right below where I trimmed.  Cherry tomato and green basil are doing way better than mini tomato and purple basil. The difference in tomatoes is not surprising but I wouldn't have expected there to be so much difference in basil.  The oregano is still hanging in there too. It has several sets of leaves, but it's just not very tall yet.
The cherry tomatoes are almost up to the lights. I will probably try to trim them rather than raising the lights since my other plants are so short.
Purple basil and mighty minis. You can see a little oregano here too
My lettuce garden does not seem to be too upset that it got a major haircut a few days ago.  I was able to harvest some leaves for lunch:

And even after taking the biggest leaves, the plants still look happy.
