General Growing Tips For Your Seedling Tray
For best results with Colossus White, plant one rooted plug per cell or 4-inch container or 5-6 per 10-inch basket. Use well-drained rich soil with a pH of 5.5-5.8, an EC of SME 0.9-1.3 mS/cm or Pourthru 1.4-2.0 mS/cm, and light feed (75-125 ppm N). Maintain a temperature of 64-66 degrees with 14 hours of daylight (4,000-6,000 foot candles). This plant doesn't require pinching. When grown cool with plenty of light, it doesn't require PGRs. In warm dark conditions, B-Nine at 2,500-5,000 ppm prevents stretching. You may see aphids and thrips. Pansies can be prone to fungus, mold, and root rot.

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
