Very good taste, high yield and good shelf life are only some of Magnums convincing arguments. With those characteristics, Magnum is interesting for direct sellers and wholesale traders.
Due to an open habit and upright leafs, high picking rates can be realised.
Magnum is a semi-early variety which reacts strongly on forcing. The flower peduncles are covered under the leafs and well protected against spring frost.
Magnum is showing top results in substrate culture, but it can be an alternative for all
other types of cultivation like moving tunnel, double covering or normal cultivation.
Magnum is a sugar bomb with a fantastic taste!
