Cool temperatures and high light levels will improve plant quality. Pinch as needed for improved plant habit. Watch for Fe deficiency.
Depends on the Mix. See single crops for a list of possible problems.
Depends on the Mix. daminozide 2,500-3,500 PPM (S), uniconazole-P 5-20 PPM (S)/uniconazole-P 0.25-0.50 PPM (D), paclobutrazol 2-4 PPM (D) Very little or no PGR is necessary for Beats. If necessary, daminozide 1,000 PPM/chlormequat chloride 500 PPM works well. daminozide 1,500-2,500 PPM (S), uniconazole-P 5-10 PPM (S), chlormequat chloride 1,000-2,000 PPM (S)

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.
