Added nutrients today. No sign of flowers yet, but these are bushing out very nicely!  |

I'll say! If the greenery is any indication, they will be covered in daisies! Can't wait to see them!

Bushing out is an understatement. They are exploding!

Hmmmm...I'm wondering if "bloom" food might be called for, at this point? Sher, what do you think? Or does one wait to see buds and then feed them?  |

They are probably fine. I bet the lower light level of the Sprout just makes them take longer to flower.
They look like they are getting plenty of nutrients.

Yeah I keep looking at it and thinking I should probably thin it out a bit, maybe being a little less crowded with leaves it’d start to bloom? This and the GAL is my first time growing flowers hydroponically, I’ve only ever done it in dirt, which never really required much care on my part.

Hmmm, for me, I think my experience is more the opposite? Many of the flowers I used to grow were grown in pots, so there was a great deal of care. Watering every evening. Searching out the pests in the beds. But, I did enjoy the "show" they gave! Of course, my BIG experience with flowers in the AGA, is a big one time. Just the Portulacas. They were easy and so pretty. And so available for viewing...LOL. I do want to grow flowers in the kitchen again...and soon! At least as soon as I'm thinking we'll be around more than gone campin'! Next trip, we're heading to East Oregon to help friends get their new RV. And do the "shake down" campout near to the dealer, in case there are things to be fixed before we all head back to the other side of the Cascades. But, as long as we are so far east, we may have to do a detour to visit friends in Idaho!!  |

Tried to trim these up a little and give them some more space and take out dead leaves - took the rear pod out completely and moved the middle back, because the one in the rear looked kind of sad. Stuck it in a pot outside. Before:  After:  Also did a rinse and refill, maybe it'll help them perk up a bit? They don't look terribly healthy to me. |

They do not look that bad. Keep the water cool. When I grew mine I did the same. I moved pods around. How many seeds per pod? Did you thin them?

I never ended up thinning them... and the seeds were so teeny I'm not super sure how many seeds ended up in each pod. I think I managed to keep it to 3 or 4 per pod?

They do look better after thinning.
There may still be too many plants in there for them all to thrive, do you think? |

Could be! The roots where surprisingly small when I took the plants out of the deck for trimming, compared to how bushy the plants are. They may need a little more trimming/thinning out to get them to really thrive.
