Cool Finish (24 hrs avg.):63 F/17 C
-
Indicates minimum temperature starting two weeks after the beginning of short days. Please note that a crop grown cooler requires more time to finish (4 to 7 days), and will have smaller bracts and darker color (for example, white may turn cream-yellow). Toward the end of the crop (two weeks prior to shipping), slowly lower the temperature for green-leafed varieties to 65°F (18°C) day/night and dark green-leafed varieties to 63°F (17°C) day/night.

CULTURE THAT WORKS
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.
- Plant into finished container when well-rooted.
early finished growth
- Pinch early: at day 14-16 from a liner; at day 24-26 for direct stick.
- Apply light PGR when branches are 1-1.5 in. (2.5-4 cm) using Cycocel spray at 500 ppm.
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.
