Begin fertilization at 100 ppm N when roots become visible. Rates can be increased up to 200 ppm N after roots become well developed.

The use of tents during propagation to avoid over misting has also been found to be beneficial.

Cold Required

35–50 °F (2–10 °C); Monitor EC and pH throughout production to avoid nutrient deficiencies.
