Thanls, Shawn. I guess the safest thing to do is look for flowers that say they will fit in a Harvest.
Anyway, I have them chopped back by half with the lights lowered, and they are starting to look bushier

I did a trim, lowered the lights, and did an R&R.
I am expecting the two center plants to look much better when they start re-growing. The two outer ones look iffy.

They still don't look great, but the two in the center are bushing out more.

Perfect! Now we just wait for the color to arrive.

Cutting the plants back definitely made them bush out more. However the flowers are determined to touch the light. I lifted the light last night and the flower stalks grew about an inch to get to them again. I had to raise the lights 2 more inches today.
Unfortunately my camera will not pick up the bright, soft pink of the flowers. But there are lots more on the way.

Hmmm...I'm strictly a beginner with AG gardening, so, that said, I think I would be tempted to lower the intensity of the lights or even try "Vacation Mode" for a bit. Lower light intensity with shortened timing too.  |

It's a Bounty Basic. 30 watts. It has no vacation mode.
If the light were more intense, the flowers would not be stretching so far.

You see, exact opposite of what my inclination would be. Glad to learn from you and others here on AGA!!  |

I managed to angle my phone so it picked up the color.

This is such a beautiful plant, but it is so hard to get my camera to show the pink properly.
I moved the bowl to the window and was able to almost get the right pink shade.
The other picture shows the shape of the plant without the right pink.

I still have trouble capturing the pink.
The leaves are starting to not look so healthy. I will probably keep them going a little while. But since I have been sick, I don't want to go to any special effort to doctor them.

Have you tried to trim them down to see if new growth forms with new blooms that are shorter?

Yes, I am doing that as the flowers fade.
