5 to 7 weeks, 1 ppp
7 to 9 weeks, 1 to 2 ppp
8 to 10 weeks, 3 to 5 ppp
Start warm. After side shoots have developed, cool temperatures and high light levels will improve plant quality.

daminozide 2,500 PPM (S), chlormequat chloride 1,000 PPM + daminozide 2,500 PPM tank mix (S)
Don't overwater or overfeed. Keep pH above 6 to avoid iron/manganese toxicity.

6 to 7 weeks, 1 ppp
8 to 9 weeks, 1 to 2 ppp
9 to 12 weeks, 4 to 5 ppp
Maintain temperature. For flower development, grow the crop on the dry side, but avoid drying out, as this will reduce flower performance. Avoid high salt levels.

5 Temperature needs day/night: During rooting, keep soil temperature measured in the liner at 70°F/21°C until cuttings are well-rooted. After planting the liner, keep temperature up until roots have developed nicely. Afterward, follow recommendations. The use of “Cool Morning“ treatments will improve plant quality, flower and foliage color, and plant habit, and harden the plants. Lower the temperature by 8 to 12°F/-13 to -11°C 2 hours before sunrise until 2-3 hours after sunrise. Start treatments after plants are rooted in, well-branched and cover the media (reach the pot edges). To avoid delayed flowering, keep the average day temperature under a close watch and, if necessary, increase night temperatures. Finishing of the crop depends on the average day temperature, and positive or negative DIF methods as well as “Cool Morning” can be used to improve plant quality.
