Liner Transplant
¡ Total Crop Time: 22 Weeks
¡ 5 weeks to create a liner ready to transplant
¡ Diverts resources to transplant liner
¡ Faster rooting to the edge of pot
Genesis Direct Stick¡ Total Crop Time: 17 Weeks
¡ Can be propagated without bottom heat (under remay cloth).
¡ Directly stick into 1 gallon pot
¡ Reduce the need of labor (no need to transplant).
¡ Quickly matches liner rooting
¡ Faster development
¡ Frees up bench space quicker (reduces crop time).
