Tall Plant

Tall plants produce up to 12 times more gibberellic acid (GA, a plant hormone) than Standard Wisconsin Fast Plants®.  The excess GA causes elongated hypocotyls and stem internodes, so the plants are tall and spindly. Plants tend to be a lighter green than Standard plants.  

This variety of Wisconsin Fast Plants was selected to have a uniform, short flowering time of 15-17 days (somewhat slower than the Standard variety) under recommended growing conditions of continuous light, water, and nutrition.

Tall Plant phenotype is controlled by a single recessive gene (elongated internode, ein). In the homozygous condition, (ein/ein), gibberellic acid is greatly overproduced. Plants will require staking.
