CULTURE THAT WORKS
CULTURE THAT WORKS
Growing On • Grows steadily once the branches develop, and exhibits consistent slow growth throughout the crop until color begins. • Apply light PGR when branches are 1-1.5 in. (2.5-4 cm) using Cycocel spray at 500-750 ppm. • Repeated, back-to-back applications of PGR are unnecessary and can lock up future growth. Late Growing Stages • Reduce feed levels if media EC increases too rapidly. • High EC at finish can result in root damage, reduced shelf life and possible Pythium.
Growing On • Grows steadily once the branches develop, and exhibits consistent slow growth throughout the crop until color begins. • Northern Climate: Apply Cycocel spray at 500 ppm. • Southern Climate: Can use Cycocel spray up to 750 ppm; B-Nine/Cycocel tank mixes should not be used. • Use caution, as plants are very responsive to PGR. 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 .
Propagation • Plant from liner at 22-24 days.
Propagation • Plant from liner at 22-24 days.
• Apply rooting hormone at the base of cutting. • Start feed program at day 7 to prevent yellowing. • May not require PGR application in propagation. • Will branch very early based on leaf maturity, not just pinch. • Plant into finished container when well rooted. Early Finished Growth • Pinch early: at day 14-18 from a liner; at day 28 for direct stick. • Breaks begin to grow 5-7 days after pinch.
