Hydro garden at day 60

Just wanted to post a picture of my garden at two months brocally is out of control didn’t know it was such a big plant. Got those filthy little aphids though. They came in on some cuttings I took from a greenhouse wont be doing this again from now on only growing from seedlings and taken cuttings off them when they are old enough . Going to nuke the little buggers with some home maid bug spray I read about. Its a combination of tobacco tea and ivory dish soap. wrap about a table spoon of chewing tobacco in a piece of cloth making a small tea bag type thingy. Boil it in two cups water four 10 or fifteen minutes. then mix the tea in with a gallon of regular water. put this mixture in a spray bottle and combine it with a couple drops Ivory dish soap. When your garden lights are off give the plants a good soaking with this stuff and make sure you get both the tops and the bottoms of the leaves. Let the plants sit a few days and then rince them off with plan water. This tobacco tea is supposed to be hell on those little free lunch aphid commies and other soft skinned insect pests. Will keep you posted as to how it works out.
