Hello again. Thanks again to all that responded to my last questions. Now, I've got nine days to help all these lovlies get redded up. Based on the bract meter, I'm sitting around the 50% mark of redness. I've got my ADT at 21C. Anything that can be done to really give them a good boost before sale day?
Thanks again.
andrea

Andrea, keep them warm (you do not need to go higher) and/or postpone the sale date. Smile The tradeoff with the warm temperatures and probably low light you have is that the plants will tend to drop cyathia early. If you do not start seeing it in the greenhouse your customers will likely see it. You could lower the ADT to 19 and hold cyathia a little better, but have less color at sale. The call depends on which is most important in your market. Most go for the color at sale. Jim
