Fungicides: None required
Plug Bulking/Flower Initiation: The time it takes for the shoots to proportionately
fill the plug cell and for roots to develop throughout the media. Induction and initiation
may occur. If buds are present, they should be few in number and small in size.
Media: • pH: 6 – 6.2
• EC: 0.7 – 1.2
Light: 2,500 – 3,000 foot candles.
Temperature: 65° – 68°F (15 – 20°C)
Moisture: Alternate between moisture level wet (4) to medium (2). Allow the soil
to approach medium (2), before re-saturating to wet (4). If media is allowed to dry
back further than (2), root damage may occur.
Fertilizers: 14-4-14 or 17-5-17 at 100 – 175 ppm nitrogen, as needed for an EC
in the soil of 0.7 – 1.2.
Growth Regulators: None required.
Fungicides: None needed.
Initiated Bulking: 7 – 8 weeks after sowing seedlings are receptive to initiation
and flower bud development.
