1 pellet per plug
Germination
Maintain optimal conditions for seedling development beginning on the day of sowing until radical emergence. Expect radical emergence in 7-10 days.
Temperature
Plug culture: 23-26 °C (74-78 °F). Once germination is completed, the temperature can be lowered to 22 °C (72 °F). Water trays using tempered water with a minimum of 18 °C (64 °F). Media temperatures below 16 °C (60 °F) will inhibit the growth.
Growing on: 20-21 °C (68-70 °F) nights, 22-23 °C (72-73 °F) days after transplanting until the roots reach the bottom of the container. Thereafter temperatures may be lowered to 16- 18 °C ( 60-64 °F) nights and 20-23 °C (68-74 °F) days.
Fertilization
Plug culture: Maintain an EC < 0.75. At this stage fertilized water should not exceed an EC of 0.5. Begin feeding on day 10 with 50 ppm nitrogen.
Growing on: Under low light conditions fertilize with a 14-4-14 fertilizer at 100-150 ppm and under high light conditions use a 17-5-17 fertilizer at 100-150 ppm. Watch for calcium and magnesium deficiencies which can cause stunted plants.
Stage I Starts with the radicle breaking through the testa. The roots are touching the medium. Ends with fully developed cotyledons.
Stage II Starts from fully developed cotyledons. Ends with the fully developed true leaf or true leaf pair.
Stage III Starts from the fully developed true leaf or true leaf pair and ends with 80% of the young plants being marketable.
Stage IV All young plants are ready for sale and in the process of being hardened off. This stage lasts about 7 days.
The cultural recommendations are based on results from trials conducted under Central European conditions. Different conditions in other parts of the world may lead to deviations in results achieved.
