CULTURE THAT WORKS Propagation • Plant from liner at 22-24 days.
Growing On • Grows steadily once branches develop, and exhibits consistent, moderate growth throughout the crop until color begins. • Northern Climate: Apply Cycocel spray at 500 ppm. • Southern Climate: Can use Cycocel spray up to 1,000 ppm; use 1-2 applications of B-Nine (1,000 ppm)/Cycocel (500 ppm) before September 20. • Apply later Cycocel sprays at 500-750 ppm. • Micro Bonzi drenches can begin in early October. Late Growing Stages • Requires continuous feed until finish. • Reduce feed levels if media EC increases too rapidly. • High EC at finish can result in root damage, reduced shelf life and possible Pythium . • It can be held cool, but pay attention to the humidity and avoid dew point to prevent Botrytis .
