Big Max Germination:

1) Plant seeds when temperatures are above 70 degrees F at all times. When germinating indoors, use a heated propagator mat to maintain a temperature between 75-80 degrees F., and provide as much light as possible for optimal growth.

2) Plant seeds ½ inch deep in warm and rich soil, such as loam. Keep the pH level between 6.0 to 6.8 and a temperature above 70 degrees. Keep the soil "moist, but not wet" at all times. 

3) Germination typically takes 7 to 10 days, during which time, you’ll need to provide high levels of nutrients. You can use a fertilizer that is phosphorus-rich. This will help your pumpkins grow healthy. You can also use a foliar spray as well for optimal growth.

Germinación de Big Max:

1) Siembre las semillas cuando las temperaturas se mantengan constantemente por encima de los 70 grados Fahrenheit. Si realiza la germinación en interiores, utilice una manta térmica para mantener una temperatura de entre 75 y 80 grados Fahrenheit, y proporcione la mayor cantidad de luz posible para lograr un crecimiento óptimo.

2) Siembre las semillas a una profundidad de ½ pulgada en un suelo cálido y rico, como la tierra franca. Mantenga el nivel de pH entre 6.0 y 6.8, y la temperatura por encima de los 70 grados. Mantenga el suelo "húmedo, pero no empapado" en todo momento.

3) La germinación suele tardar entre 7 y 10 días; durante este periodo, deberá proporcionar altos niveles de nutrientes. Puede utilizar un fertilizante rico en fósforo. Esto ayudará a que sus calabazas crezcan sanas. También puede aplicar un rociado foliar para favorecer un crecimiento óptimo.
