FINISH PGRs
TECH TIPS
Since Alumia is naturally compact, PGRs are not usually necessary. If needed, spray with B-Nine ® WSG at 2,500–5,000 ppm.
Very easy to germinate on the bench. If seedlings get stretched, they can be planted deep at transplanting, and new roots will form along the stems. Do not hold too long in the plug tray or stress-induced flowering may occur, and plants will flower before bulking up to a satisfactory size.

TECH TIPS
Very easy to germinate on the bench. If seedlings get stretched, they can be planted deep at transplanting, and new roots will form along the stems. Do not hold too long in the plug tray or stress-induced flowering may occur, and plants will flower before bulking up to a satisfactory size.
Since Happy is a genetic dwarf, plant growth regulators (PGRs) are not usually necessary. If needed, spray with B-Nine ® WSG at 2,500–5,000 ppm.

TECH TIPS
Growth can be controlled naturally through proper moisture management. If needed to control height, spray with B-Nine ® WSG at 2,500–5,000 ppm, Bonzi ® at 15–30 ppm, or Sumagic ® at 5–10 ppm. To help control growth in the retail environment ® drench with Bonzi ® at 2–5 ppm or Sumagic ® at 1–2 ppm when plants are up to size and flowering.

FINISH PGRs
TECH TIPS
Provide day extension lighting to 14 hours under short days using mum type lights (10 foot candles). Using HID lights can promote too early of flowering.
Under proper growing conditions, PGRs are usually not needed. If warm and/or dark conditions exist, sprays of B-Nine ® WSG at 2,500 ppm are effective.
