SEED FINISHING
FINISH PGRs
TECH TIPS
PGRs are usually not necessary under proper (cool with high light) growing conditions. If needed due to low light and/or high temperatures, sprays of Bonzi ® at 15-20 ppm or B-Nine ® WSG at 5,000 ppm are effective. The best time to apply PGRs is about two weeks after transplant; later treatments will give more height control but will delay flowering. Popstars also respond well to a negative DIF.
Keep EC less than 0.75 mS/cm as Phlox drummondii are sensitive to high salts. Keep EC less than 0.75 mS/ cm and avoid the dry-growing method of growth control, as Phlox drummondii are sensitive to high salts.
FINISH PGRs
TECH TIPS
If needed, sprays of B-Nine ® WSG at 2,500-5,000 can be effective.
Control Thrips to avoid Tospovirus.
FINISH PGRs
TECH TIPS
Grow plugs on the dry side to avoid excessive algae growth.
If grown at the recommended temperatures, PGR applications should not be necessary. If needed, sprays of B-Nine ® WSG at 2,500-5,000 ppm are effective in helping control leaf size.
FINISH PGRs
TECH TIPS
Ranunculus responds well to sprays of B-Nine ® WSG at 2,500-5,000 ppm. If grown cool, PGR applications are usually not necessary. Under warm conditions, 1-3 sprays of B-Nine ® WSG may be beneficial to control leaf size.
Control Thrips to avoid Tospovirus.
FINISH PGRs
TECH TIPS
Since Ranunculus Magic is a genetically compact plant PGRs are not needed.
Control Thrips to avoid Tospovirus.
FINISH PGRs
TECH TIPS
If needed to control height, spray with B-Nine ® WSG at 2,500 ppm, Bonzi ® at 10-30 ppm, or A-Rest ® at 5-10 ppm.
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 plants off with clear water to avoid burning the young growing tips.
