Before placing the seeds in the plugs, soak them in a solution of Floralicious Plus. Use 2 mls per gallon of water.

Three stunning new dahlias opened at the Gen Hydro FarmLab over the long weekend. These flowers are amazing. Each one is bigger than the size of my palm. They have colors that glisten in the sunlight that I can’t capture with the camera. This is because General Hydroponics nutrients and supplements create strong vascular systems [...]
