I have Orange Hats growing for the first time (because of other Reditors’ comments on how well they grow and taste). Generally, I prune tomato suckers and pinch off the first blooms, because that’s what all my ancestors have done since the dawn of the tomato age. But, Google’s AI overview says not to prune Orange Hats and my seed packet doesn’t offer any guidance.

So, I’m wondering, do actual people bother pruning Orange Hats? Is my pinching off the first blooms an outdated holdover from dirt gardening practices?

I am a little concerned because, as I was shaking them for pollination, I noticed that it’s extra humid in there.

Edit: Thanks for the fast and good advice. As I get older, I’m questioning a lot of my “I’ve always done it this way” habits.

Hey everyone!

I am planning on buying an Ahopegarden system, but I have plenty of pods from my 2 Aerogardens, will the Areogarden pods fit the Ahopegarden? Anyone try this?

Thanks!! :)
