Prestige Early Red - delayed


This week's notes:

Flowering was delayed in this crop of Prestige Early by using lights until10/3, which was same as used in 2007. We applied a little more PGR on this delayed crop compared to last year. This short day date makes the Prestige Early a little later than Prestige Red on natural days. Lighting to about Sept. 28 or Oct. 1 would make the crop a little earlier and reduce amount of PGR needed.
