Thanks for the reassurance, Corinne. I have never grown flowers in an AG before, so this is a new adventure!

These seem be be growing a couple of inches a day. I keep wondering if they are going to flop over and die. I am in uncharted territory. And they are drinking a LOT of water.
I had to remove some leaves that were blocking the water fill hole.

I usually(not always) leave a vacant hole next to the water fill hole because of that very reason. As for the petunia growth, I think they will thrive under your care and when they bloom, just deadhead regularly. I am eager to see some buds soon! It will be florific!

Note to self: Do not attempt to grow bedding petunias in a Harvest again.
Some of them are just starting to form buds. Once they bloom, I will cut them WAY back!

Yes, it's at max height and the petunias are growing over the hood.
But I am so excited about seeing flowers soon!

Okay. I am not happy with this weed patch. If I cut it back, it will just get bushier and more unmanageable.
I plan to terminate it as soon as the first few flowers bloom.
Next time I'll make sure I choose a more AG friendly variety.

One more photo before I terminate it. The plant is such a mess that I don't even care about seeing the blossoms.
I am so disappointed. I have some AG cascading petunia pods that I will replace them with, but it will take me a few days to get excited about planting again!

Do not let that deter you from AG-ing. That will happen time and time again when experimenting with custom seeds. After a while you will find your groove in choosing custom seeds that are compatible. It is just something we ALL have to try and learn hands on.I still make mistakes because I love to take AG risks!

I agree with Corinne. I have had my fails but also had many more great projects. That is the thing with custom, you never know. I remember a GAL we had that I supplied all the seeds for all that participated. A few did well. Mine failed miserably.
It you are terminating, put it behind you and start something new  |

Can you trim them back and pot them..(you are prob'ly disgusted with them right now I know). But they would make a great potted plant. They stretched because they did not have any light over them and were seeking for a light source.(as you know)

Don't worry! I have too many Aerogardens to even think of giving up!
