• Temperature• To slow growth down, use cooler
temperatures.
• Night temps 63-65F
• Day temps 73-75F
• Lighting• If light is not maximized you may
have poor height and poor leaf color.
• Height Control• You can use temperature to control
height.• Light can control height.• Chemicals can also help control
height of the plants.
