Forcing Protocol: Produce plug or liner to the 2 fully mature leaf stage. At the 2 fully mature leaf stage, begin short day conditions. Continue short day conditions until plant reaches 7 fully mature leaves. The 128 is the minimum size for SD grown plugs to 7 fully mature leaves. For more forcing info: See Perennials Forcing Guide and GrowerFacts Extra Spring and Fall forcing. Forcing Protocol: Produce plug or liner to the 2 fully mature leaf stage.

For forcing info: See Perennials Forcing Guide. Gaura seed is a nutlet with 2 to 3 seeds, so plug cells may have greater than one seedling.
(m) Level 3-4 (t) 65-68°F (18-20°C) (l) 4-5 mol·m¯²·d¯¹ (f) 100 to 175 ppm N (0.7 to 1.2 EC)
No
1. High humidity surrounding the pelleted seed will improve the germination rate at the early germination and seedling production stage. 2. The germination and usability rate is significantly improved by covering with Reemay, or growing under a tent, or growing on a mist bench, from OGC* to 2 true leaf stage (about 3 weeks). 3. Do not overwater the plug tray, as it could suffocate the tiny seed. Use the mist nozzle and keep the soil moisture level between 3 to 4. *OGC: out of germination chamber
(m) moisture (t) temperature (l) light (f) fertiliser (p) plant growth regulators
