There should be 5-7 internodes left after a pinch right?

Also at what point should I spray Florel as far as internode count goes...6-8 internodes or maybe even 8-11? (I know I maybe splitting hairs here)

I know there are a certain amount of days between the first spray and the pinch.

Thanks Ecke!

When pinching, it is typical to leave 5-8 nodes with the assumption that each node will produce a branch and bloom. We suggest that Florel be applied 3 days before pinching and 3-7 days after, regardless of internode count. We recommend that you take a look at the technical document in the Production Guidlines, "Use of Florel® On Poinsettia To Stimulate Branching." It highlights how and when to appply Florel to get the best results.
