GROWING TIPS
• Keep in mind Completo is light sensitive and has vigourous plant habit.
• Ensure generative climate steering: important night/day difference, high 24h temperatures adapted to light levels, low humidity level.
• Promote early fruit-load to help plant balance from the start of the crop.
• Try to avoid large flowers by controlling vigour, small flowers are easier to pollinate.
• Later on, adapt truss pruning to the habit of the plant, e.g. if plant is very vigorous maintain more fruit.
• Take a leaf out of the head of the plant from truss number 2 and between every trusses until 8th cluster (or more if needed to balance the plant).
To get the best out of Completo: grow generatively; leaf prune, limit truss pruning, promote setting of small flowers.
