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.

FINISH PGRs
TECH TIPS
High light and cool night temperatures will result in the best quality plug.
If grown under cool temperatures with high light, PGRs are not necessary. If ideal conditions cannot be metm sprays of B-Nine ® WSG at 5,000 ppm are effective in controlling growth.
