Those must be extremely vigorous petunias!

Is that a cascading Petunia?  So many buds and flowers

yes it is , it had more flowers and buds but that dang wilt got to it

If I grow petunias I cannot grow the cascading type.  I keep the flowers on my desk so cascading work work well.  Unless of course I want my desk space taken up by flowers LOL

Wow, it's huge! I'm sure you'll be very happy when it gets back to full strength.

Now that its getting warmer im going to try and put them outside so they have a lot more room to grow and hopefully bounce back, then i come back to the age old problem what to grow next lol

Beautiful, photogenic petunias! You'd never know that they aren't 100% healthy.

What to grow next in the AG is my favorite AG problem!

I'm a serious new-bee and accidentally reposted someone else's post trying to post this lol. I keep seeing people talk about calmag, I simply added epsome salt with the nutes with my cleaning last weekend for my 2 month old cherry tomatoes. It started with a lettuce garden because I had no idea what I was doing. I had one lettuce pod that didn't sprout and I had some cherry seedlings in soil and had to "kill" some of them so decided to take the second best one and pop it in the aerogarden. This thing is my baby! Lol! I have never had a stronger, heartier tomato plant, and I used to garden outside exclusively. If I can figure out how to share a pic I will. But the point is that the epsom adds high levels of magnesium without affecting the PH at all so its like a joker card, good to do and never bad. I wish I had put it in a week earlier because if you do it right as you start budding it's supposed to make the best tasting tomatoes and peppers, supposedly a notable difference. And if you are wary about putting it in the water you can simply spray it on the leaves. Although, you all seem so much more knowledgeable than me so you probably already know this! Would love any advice anyone has to give!
Edit: How do you add photos???

Hello laurylsydney.  To post pictures, please see the following thread on how to do so.

laurylsydney, I'll have to try Epsom salts on my tomatoes. You make a goo case! What I use for tomatoes is AG nutrients, with CalMag and Koolbloom added as well from week 6 forward. All added per the label directions.
