Minimum Germination Rate: Kiss, Big Kiss 90%
Seed Product Form: Raw

FLOWERING
Time frame when plants are receptive to flower initiation: Days 16 – 20; 6 – 8 true leaves present.
Flowering Type: Facultative long-day plant – long days enhance for flowering.
Specific Flowering Mechanism: Maturity and warm temperatures trigger flowering. Irradiance will improve bud counts.

PLUG CULTURE
Germination: Optimum conditions for seedling development that begins the day the crop is sown until cotyledon expansion. Expect radicle emergence in 4 – 6 days.
Cover: Cover seeds with a thin layer of medium-sized vermiculite to maintain moisture levels.
Media: • pH: 5.8 – 6.2
             • EC: 0.5 – 0.75
Light: Light has no effect on germination of Kiss Gazania. If utilizing a chamber, providing a light source of 10 – 100 foot candles (100 – 1,000 lux) will improve
germination and reduce stretch.
Moisture: Moist (3) for days 1 – 3 or until radicle emergence. On days 4 – 14, reduce moisture to medium (2). Beginning day 15, alternate between moisture
levels moist (3) and medium (2) until cotyledon expansion. Allow media to approach level (2) before re-saturating to level (3).
Humidity: 100% until radicle emergence then reduce to 40%.
Dehumidify: Provide horizontal airflow to aid in drying down the media through evapotranspiration, allowing better penetration of oxygen to the roots.
Temperature: 70° – 75°F (21° – 24°C) until radicle emergence, then lower to 65° – 68°F (18° – 20°C) until cotyledon expansion.
Plug Bulking: Optimum conditions during the vegetative period, beginning at cotyledon expansion, needed for the root to reach the edge of the plug cell.
Media: • pH: 5.8 – 6.2
             • EC: 0.75 – 1
Light: Under low light conditions, supplemental light for a 14 – 16-hour day may be necessary to produce a compact, sturdy seedling.
Temperature: 65° – 68°F (18° – 20°C). Gradually reduce temperatures to 62° – 65°F (16° – 18°C) as the seedlings mature.
Moisture: Alternate between moisture levels moist (3) and medium (2). Allow media to approach level (2) before re-saturating to level (3).
Humidity: 40 – 70%
Dehumidify: Provide horizontal airflow to aid in drying down the media through evapotranspiration, allowing better penetration of oxygen to the roots.
Fertilizers: Feed 1 – 2 times per week at 100 – 200 ppm nitrogen. Under high light conditions, apply an ammonium-based feed (17-5-17). Under low light
conditions, apply a calcium-based feed (14-4-14). Under high light and long or extended days, an ammonium-based feed (20-10-20) is preferred.
Growth Regulators: Kiss has been bred for a naturally bushy compact habit. Growth regulators are not required under normal growing regimes. If desired,
apply B-Nine (daminozide) at 2,500 ppm.

GROWING ON
Transplant Ready: 5 – 6 weeks from sow in a ‘288’ tray.
Finish Bulking/Flower Initiation: Optimum conditions during the vegetative period, beginning at transplant, needed for the root to reach the edge of the
container AND to make the plant receptive to flower initiation.
Media: • pH: 5.8 – 6.2
             • EC: 1 – 1.5
Light: Provide full sun.

Temperature: After transplants are established, reduce night temperatures to 55° – 60°F (12° – 16°C), with moderate day temperatures.
Moisture: Alternate between moisture levels wet (4) and dry (1.5) Allow media to approach level (1.5) before re-saturating to level (4).
Humidity: 40 – 70%
Dehumidify: Provide horizontal airflow to aid in drying down the media through evapotranspiration, allowing better penetration of oxygen to the roots.
Fertilizers: 150 – 200 ppm nitrogen as needed with a fertilizer containing low amounts of ammonium and phosphorus.
Growth Regulators: Kiss has been bred for a naturally bushy compact habit. Growth regulators are not required under normal growing regimes. If needed,
Gazania responds to Cycocel (chlormequat chloride) or B-Nine (daminozide). When temperatures exceed 80°F (26°C), a tank mix of B-nine/Cycocel may
prove more effective.
