At 3-4 leaves apply 10 lit FS/347 (50% aminoacids & growth substances of natural origin, / hectare to support nutrition for root growth and earlier bloom. Combine with 10-30 lit AUXENOL (soil activator) / hectare.

Repeat the application of FS/347 after 10-15 days at the same rate. Combine with AUXENOL (5-5-9) for faster blooming.
