Grow plugs under short day conditions (<12 hours) to allow for bulking. Then provide long days to initiate flowering after approximately 7 true leaves are showing; Configure ® applied as a spray 1 to 2 times at 300–600 ppm has been shown to increase basal branching with little effect on plant height.
