We grow seedlings
The quality of the seedlings grown in compliance with the regime of day and night temperatures, lighting, dosed watering and fertilizing will become a reliable guarantor of a good harvest.
- They begin to plant seeds for seedlings 60-65 days before the planned planting in the greenhouse. This is mainly the month of March. The date largely depends on the climatic conditions of the region and the quality of the greenhouse shelter.
- Seeds are prepared by disinfection in a manganese solution and treatment with a growth stimulant.
- They are planted in moist soil, deepening by 2 cm. Seedlings should be expected after 5 days.
- Plants dive with the appearance of the first true leaf, seating them in separate containers.
- Seedlings need moderate watering and feeding. At the initial stage, especially in cloudy weather, backlighting is required to prevent the stems from stretching.
For those who have planted tomatoes more than once, these rules will not seem too complicated. But they should not be ignored either. Observing the regimes of day and night, moisturizing the soil in time, you can get high-quality healthy seedlings, ready for any stress.
A feature of indeterminate varieties is intense, almost unlimited growth. It is necessary to pay attention to the correct formation of the bush: removal of lateral shoots, excess foliage and timely limitation of stem growth.

- The bush is formed into 2-3 stems, leaving 4 to 7 ovaries on each. After the formation of the required number of brushes, pinch the crown of the plant.
