Water forcing
Water forcing is the forcing of tulips on water instead of soil. With this method, the bulbs are put in a rooting room for 3 weeks and then housed in a greenhouse. A couple of advantages are: less heat consumption in the greenhouse, less cell space, and the bulbs are being planted and picked faster.
