Notes:
Flowering is a function of temperature – plants grown at 70-74° F
will finish a 4.25 crop in 7 weeks. Growing below 68° F will
significantly increase crop time. To save on heating costs, consider
growing from Enhanced , which finish in 5 weeks. Fertilize at
100-150 ppm N and maintain a media pH of 6.0-6.5 to avoid
micronutrient toxicity. Pinching and PGRs are not recommended.
Scout regularly for thrips.
