Why people do not grow more pelargoniums under light is something I will never understand. I use a greenhouse, but also have a very large collection as back up under lights. Plan for the worse, and hope for the best I guess. I made my light gardens pretty inexpensively too, using shelving units and fluorescent ballasts on chains. As you can see, its a jungle under there. I have around 200 varieties under these 7 levels of lights, and in a relatively small space, so anybody can grow through the winter. I always have blooming plants, and with regular inspection and trimming, I have no issues with disease either. Some do better than others under lights, and I must admit that I am getting tired of cutting back certain varieties that want to sprawl. In another month these will be outside again thank God!
