Plug Crop Weeks:	5-7
Days from 50% to maximum germination:	3-5
Cover Seed:	Light cover

Plug Production
Stage 1
Moisture:	Level 4
Temperature:	65-68°F (18-20°C)
Light:	Optional

Stage 2
Moisture:	Level 3-4
Temperature:	65-68°F (18-20°C)
Light:	6-8 mol·m⁻²·d⁻¹
Fertilizer:	Less than 100 ppm N (Less than 0.7 EC)

Stage 3
Moisture:	Level 2-3
Temperature:	60-65°F (16-18°C)
Light:	8-10 mol·m⁻²·d⁻¹
Fertilizer:	100 to 175 ppm N (0.7 to 1.2 EC)

Stage 4
Moisture:	Level 1-2
Temperature:	60-65°F (16-18°C)
Light:	8-10 mol·m⁻²·d⁻¹
Fertilizer:	175 to 225 ppm N (1.2 to 1.5 EC)

Vernalization:	No
Propagation Key Tips:	Critical Daylength: 14 hours. For forcing info: See Perennials Forcing Guide. 1 to 2 seeds for 288/4 to 6 seeds for 84. Plug PGRs: For Spring production, no PGRs needed. For Summer production under long day conditions, can use B-Nine/Alar (1,500 to 2,500 ppm spray). Short day bulk not needed for Autumn sales.
