The Quick Blocks product line features outstanding Syngenta genetics. These triple-stuck large (4″x6″) Quick Blocks contain a Kwik Kombo™ Mix of three 4-5 week old 25mm liners that have been pinched and also sprayed with a B-Nine®/Florel® application.
Once they’re stuck, we grow them for another 4 weeks and we pinch and spray them again.

Quick Blocks Significantly Reduce Grower Finishing Time
Finish times for various containers:
10″ container: 1 Quick Block per pot for 4 weeks
12″ container: 1 Quick Block for 5 weeks, or 2 Quick Blocks for 4 weeks
14″ container: 2 Quick Blocks for 4-5 weeks
Ready to sell: Retail customers purchase and plant their own combo containers
By way of comparison, growers who would plant 3 individual liners into a hanging basket in week 17 could expect a finishing time of 6-8 weeks, with the hanging basket retail ready at or near week 24. The same grower could instead transplant a Quick Block into a hanging basket in week 17, and with a 4 week finish time, have that basket ready for sale at retail by week 21, freeing up critical greenhouse space for additional product during peak retail sales weeks.
Quick Blocks: Innovative Solution for Growers
Increased profitability: Quick Blocks’ reduced growing time allows growers to realize more sales in the critical but limited spring window without building more greenhouses or putting up more basket lines.
Plant health: Containing only 3 plants per block rather than 6-9 found in typical baskets, Quick Blocks’ baskets promote healthy liner spacing and reduced water stress.
Proven genetics: Confidence in the selected Syngenta genetics comes from extensive greenhouse and field trials.
