Which Sure to Grow™ product should I use?
Propagating seeds and cuttings with Sure to Grow™
| • |
Completely
saturate the Sure to Grow™ media. |
| • |
Place in free-draining plant
trays on a level surface to prevent nutrient run-off and
migration; avoid pooling of water at the root zone. |
| • |
Deposit seeds into the
pre-punched dibble holes; larger seeds and cuttings can be
inserted into the cross-cut “x” in the center of the dibble
hole. |
| • |
After seeding, water the seeds
or cuttings gently from the top to establish good contact
with the media. |
| • |
Cover with a humidity dome or
another tray until the seed coat has cracked and the radicle
has emerged. |
| • |
Keep the media evenly moist
during germination. Top watering or flood and drain are the
most effective irrigation methods during the germination
stage. |
| • |
Upon germination, remove the
dome and expose seedlings to full light. |
| |
When adjacent seedling leaves
are touching, transplant to your growing system. Be sure to
completely saturate the roots and cubes at the time of
transplanting. |
Irrigation
| • |
Once true leaves
have emerged it is essential that a complete water-soluble
nutrient formulated for the crop be supplied to the plants. |
| • |
Compared to other media, STG™
will generally require more frequent but shorter irrigation
intervals. |
| • |
Once plants are placed in the
growing system, the irrigation interval must allow the media
to stay evenly moist throughout. |
| • |
Should the media dry out, the
media needs to be completely rehydrated by flooding and
draining or thoroughly watering from the top. |
Crop Production
| • |
Vine crops and
taller plants may require support in the form of staking or
trellising sooner than with other types of media. |
| • |
Cover the surface of deeper
containers (Bato buckets, Dutch Pots), with a solid cover to
block light, preserve moisture and prevent algae growth. |
