Sowing method
1 seed per plug.
Germination
Maintain optimal conditions for seedling development, should begin on the day of sowing until root emergence. Expect root emergence in 3-6 days from sowing.
Temperature
Plug culture: : 20-22 °C (68-72 °F) until radicle emergence. Afterwards, ensure 18-20 °C (64-68 °F) during night and day. When the roots reach the bottom of the cell, the temperature can be lowered to 16-18 °C ( 60-64 °F).
Growing on: 16-20 °C (60-68 °F ) days, 10-13 °C (50-56 °F) nights after transplanting. Afterwards, a frost-free production with a minimum temperature of 3-5 °C (38-41 °F) at night is recommended. Cooler temperatures promote a stable, compact and well-branched plant habit.
Fertilization
Plug culture: Maintain low pH level to avoid chlorosis. Begin feeding once germination is complete with 100-175 ppm N and maintain an EC of less than 1.2.
Growing on: Start feeding one week after transplanting. Apply regularly 175 to 225 ppm N by using predominantly nitrate-based fertilizer with low phosphorus. If needed, alternate with a balanced ammonium and nitrate-based fertilizer to encourage growth and balance the media pH. Maintain low pH level below 5.8 to avoid chlorosis.
