French term or phrase:plants moins fournis
"Cette pratique est toutefois coûteuse en infrastructures et en énergie en plus de produire des plants moins fournis et dont la floraison de certains cultivars doit être forcée pour obtenir une qualité acceptable le plus rapidement possible"
Explanation: A "plante" is a plant, a "plant" is a transplant.

I'm not happy with "stealthy" as a plant which is "fourni" means fuller, bushier etc... Any ideas would be welcome. I psoted mainly to point out the difference bewteen "une plante" and "un plant" in French!
