Reference Materials | Snapdragon Greenhouse Snapdragon Culture Seed Germination: As a beneficial precautionary measure, particularly for Pythium control a “Root Shield” drench is highly recommended. Before sowing, drench filled seed flats using the “root shield” prescribed dosage. Allow flat to soak up liquid throughout, then immediately sow seed. Sow into an open soil-less mix with a pH of 5.5-5.8. Keep medium moist, but not saturated. Start the seeds at 70°- 75°F; no warmer as snap seeds do not germinate well at higher temperatures. Keep the soluble salts low because snap seed and seedlings are very sensitive to high starter charges. Do not cover seeds, but light is not necessary for the first 4 days. Then 500-800 FC is required. After 10 days lower the soil temperature to 65°-70°F. and allow the soil to dry out slightly. A feed of 75 PPM N from a Calcium/Potassium Nitrate feed should be applied. Wash the fertilizer off the leaves if it is a bright day. Drop the temperature to 60°-65°F after the 3rd week. The feed can be raised to 150 PPM N from a 20-10-20 source. Avoid any Ammonium Nitrate fertilizer on snaps, especially if the soil temperature is cool. Apply a fungicide drench at this stage. Seedlings are ready for transplanting in about 5 weeks from sowing. Do not plant too deep or pinch the tender stems with your fingernails while handling the small seedlings. Soil Preparation: Soil should have good aeration; add organic amendment as needed. As a soil amendment, “Waterworks”, can be added at a rate of 8 lbs. per 100 sq. ft. in addition to regular organic amendment; it retains water yet helps drainage. Run a soil test and adjust pH and fertilize according to soil test results. Soil-borne disease can build up over time, steaming or fumigation can be used to pasteurize the soil medium prior to planting. Spacing: Single stem crop: West Coast, 8 plants per sq. ft; East Coast, 15-18 sq. in. per plant. Pinched crop: West Coast, 6 plants per sq. ft; East coast, 48 sq. in. per plant. Single-stem crops always grade higher, time faster, and cut cleaner than a pinched crop. Retail growers who like to cut over a long period and like different grades of flowers, may find a pinched crop is best. Pinched crops are too short and do not grade well for summer culture. Temperature: Snaps are a cool temperature growing crop, but respond to outside temperatures and cloudy and sunny weather. During cloudy weather, 50°F. nights and 58°F days. During sunny weather, raise these temperatures 5°F. The addition of CO2 at 1000 PPM requires the temperature to be raised another 5°F to take advantage of the CO2. Flowering Groups 1,2,3,4: Snap varieties have been bred to perform best during specific flowering periods. Group 1 is for mid-winter, low light, short day length, and low temperature flowering. It also requires the longest growing schedule. Group 4 is for mid-summer, high light, long day length, and higher temperatures. It also has the shortest growing schedule. The other 2 groups fall in between. Temperature, HID lights, and CO2 will also influence which group to use. Without HID lights it is not advisable to flower Snaps out of their recommended flowering periods. Carbon Dioxide: Winter grown Snaps respond to the addition of CO2 in tight greenhouses. It should be added for top quality and crop time reduction. This will often allow the use of a faster group. HID: The use of HID lights will speed up a crop of Snaps. Group 3 can be used all year round except in mid-summer. If you do not have fan and pad cooling, then a group 4 Snap should be used. HID lights will reduce crop time from 3 to 6 weeks. Fertilizer: Snaps are very sensitive to excessive salinity and high ammonium levels. The soil fertility should be monitored throughout the crop cycle. A program of adding 200 PPM nitrogen and potassium every third watering can be used. Stop fertilizing at bud elongation stage. The amount of fertilizer added can be adjusted up or down depending on growth rate. Post Harvest Handling: Cut when 7 to 10 flowers are open. Place cut stems immediately in water containing a preservative. Store at 40°F and be certain to keep the stems upright. Snap stems will bend up almost immediately if stored for even the briefest time in a non-verticle position. Once the tips bend it is permanent. Direct Benching-Transplanting: Snaps respond best when seedling or plugs are planted directly into the final growing medium. Transplanting to pots will almost always result in some checking. Many growers purchase snap seedlings from plug specialists. They are most commonly offered in 392 cell trays. Use of a plug extractor is highly recommended to speed planting and prevent damage to the plugs. Watering: Water thoroughly with a half strength feed. After the first watering check and lift any seedlings that have settled in too deeply. Also pick up any that are bent over or have leaves buried. Schedules: See your Gloeckner representative for assistance in establishing a workable Snap program for your particular growing conditions. 122 New!

LIQUID CONVERSIONS 1 Pint/100 gallons =1 tsp./gallon 1 Quart/100 gallons = 2 tsp./gallon 1 Teaspoon = 1/3 Tbsp. or 1/6 oz. 1 Tablespoon = 3 tsp. or 1/2 oz. 1 Fluid ounce = 2 Tbsp. or 6 tsp. 1 Cup = 8 oz., 1/2 pint, 16 Tbsp., 48 tsp. 1 Quart = 32 oz., 4 cups, 2 pints, 64 Tbsp. 1 Gallon = 4 quarts, 8 pints, 16 cups, 128 ounces PARTS PER MILLION To determine Parts Per Million (ppm) of an element in fertilizer, simply multiply the percent of that element by 75. The answer will be the ppm of the element per ounce of the fertilizer in 100 gallons of water. For instance, how much 20-20-20 fertilizer should you use to get a 200 ppm nitrogen solution? EXAMPLE: 0.20 x 75 = 15ppm (% nitrogen in fertilizer multiplied by 75). Therefore you need 200 ÷ 15 = 13.3 oz (desired ppm solution divided by ppm per ounce). 13.3 oz. of 20-20-20 are required to produce a 200 ppm nitrogen solution in 100 gallons of water.
