It can sometimes cause distorted growth on leaves that are emerging at the time of application, but the plant quickly grows out of it. PGRs: Configure has been observed to promote basal branching and should be used when bulking the plant in its vegetative state. Forcing is best done using daylength extension as opposed to night interruption. Putting plants that have already flowered under short days may induce dormancy. Photoperiods of over 16 hours of light are antagonistic to flowering, but do not stop it entirely. This can be achieved using natural short-days or black cloth. It is beneficial to bulk plants under short-days and then force flowering under long-day conditions. Echinacea is a facultative long-day plant with a critical day length of between 12 and 13 hours (depending on variety).
