Zinnias (Aerogarden to kratky)

I started some zinnias in my Aerogarden and moved them to kratky once sprouted as my first test of kratky. I kept my expectations low as I had very little experience growing anything outside of the Aerogarden and none in growing flowers. I think things went ok. I originally had my plant beside the Aerogarden but eventually made myself a growing rack when they started getting tall. I’m using some old oxo pop lid containers (slightly slap-dash but I’m planning on using net cups in them in the future…you can take the lid apart and almost fit a 4” cup all the way in it). I covered it in foil for this one but the lettuce I did after I put blackout film on. Aerogarden nutrients with a little bit of Calmag added after buds formed. Anyway, here’s pics of my flowers! (Let’s hope I format this right on my very first post)

Last note, this forum has been so much help, and I couldn’t have grown so much in my Aerogarden without reading the experiences and tips here!
