FINISH PGRs
TECH TIPS
If needed to control height, spray with B-Nine ® WSG at 2,500 ppm, Bonzi ® at 5–15 ppm, or A-Rest ® at 3–10 ppm. Strata is bred to be genetically compact; therefore, it does not require as much PGRs as some other Salvia farinacea varieties.
Salvia is sensitive to high salts in the plug tray, so do not let the EC rise above 1.5 mS/cm. After fertilization, rinse the plus off with clear water to avoid burning the young growing tips.

TECH TIPS
If needed to prevent stretch under low light conditions spray with B-Nine ® at 2,500–5,000 ppm.
Providing supplemental HID light will speed germination and improve plug quality. Sensitive to high salts; keep EC less than 0.5 mS/cm in the plug.

TECH TIPS
Spray applications of B-Nine ® WSG at 2,500–5,000 ppm, Bonzi ® at 15–20 ppm or Sumagic ® at 10–15 ppm are effective to control growth; 1–2 applications are usually sufficient. Do not apply Bonzi ® drenches after visible buds to prevent clubby flowers.
High pH levels (above 6.2) may promote iron deficiency causing chlorotic young leaves. Overly wet conditions or watering late in the day can cause shoot tip abortion. Keeping the media too wet can also lead to root rot diseases such as Pythium.
