This morning I re-planted my Nano Geranium Mix. I had 6 seeds and used 4 (and still have an unopened packet). Unit: Harvest Vendor: Park Seed Seeds: 1 per pod Sponges: Park Nutes: 4ml I planted four pods just in case one does not germinate which I had last time. It will be exciting to see what colors bloom this time around.  More when something happens |

A new beginning! This one will work out great, I’m sure.  |

I was looking into the sponges earlier and I can see that the seeds is expanding and on one opening some. So maybe all four will germinate.
Also sometime next week this unit will be placed on my cleaned up desk area. Mark's room should be done this weekend and everything moved in there. I will have a happy little desk d45692

Well three of the 4 pods have green leaves that are just cresting the labels. Pictures tomorrow. I guess I am glad I planted that 4th one because only 3 sprouted.

I am going to plant Nanos next year outside rather than the Mavericks. I prefer them now.

Please excuse the bad lighting and the dusty dirty deck. I need to do some AG housecleaning later. These are growing slower then I remember.   Better pictures to come as they grow |

I was contemplating what to plant outside and the start time indoors for next growing season(if this is too 'outdoors' please delete, Shawn).
I looked at my AG project and it was started in July and full blooms began in Sept..about 8 weeks.
So I am going to start indoor germinating in March.

My Nanos are looking nice, but in the second picture you can see that the leaves are a very bright color. I wonder if this is any indication of the color of the flower. It is very odd as I have never seen the leaves turn colors especially like this.   |

the leaves in that pod look a bit wilted like they were in a draft ...did you have them near a window ?

No. They are actually quite firm. They are just weird. Maybe I will place the front right one in the back left JUST in case

So Looking at my Nanos this morning I see all three plants have a nice dark pink coloring to the leaves. The plants are all healthy looking and you can see the smallest one has buds (as does the plant in back of it but leaves are covering them). I know Corinne mentioned they looked wilted but they look and feel perfectly fine. I just do not know why the leaves are this color?  I am not adding enough Nutes? Too Much? Maybe I should change the water? I am using 4ml nutes. @cornne , any ideas?  |

I have no clue. I have never had that happen with nanos. But if that did happen I would snip off the real sickly looking wilted leaves and see if new healthier leaves would grow...even if they are red.Also I would try adding a bit more nutrients. Perhaps the leaves are supposed to be red in the colors you planted? Some do have red leaves. Anyway, you probably have seen this site already, but I can't help beyond that. Questions: Are you putting any additives in other than AG nutrients that would throw off the balance? Are they in a cold draft near a window? I have no idea on a fix. homeguides.sfgate.com/geranium-leaves-turning-red-96380.html |

@cornne , I am going to get some Miracle Gro crystals (do you happen to have the exact product or picture I can view) that you mentioned in your Nano garden and try that. I will ass 1/8 tsp to the harvest when I get it to try.

It's too early. That is a bloom booster for when the flowers are slowing down and you want the plant to start re-blooming.. These are still in the early stage.I would try a bit more AG.

Shawn, is there any improvement in your Nano leaves?
