Growing seedlings

Note the date of collection or release seed... If more than two years have passed since that moment, this material is not suitable for planting. To identify empty seeds, dilute ½ teaspoon of salt in a glass of water and pour the seeds into it. After 30 minutes, discard all floating seeds: they are not suitable for germination. Harden the seeds 5-6 days before planting.

Buy soil from a specialized store for seedlings... You can add soil from the garden to it so that the bushes can more easily adapt to the soil when replanting. To exclude the infection of seedlings with fungi and viruses, it is recommended that the "garden" soil be properly calcined in the oven.

The rules for growing seedlings are no different from the standard ones:

1. Plant the seeds 1 to 2 cm deep.
2. Cover the soil with foil before the first shoots appear.
3. Provide timely watering to your home beds.
4. Maintain the temperature in the room.
5. Place the seedling boxes in a well-lit place.
6. With artificial lighting, increase the day length to 16 hours.

When two real leaves appear, pick the bushes. This is necessary to accelerate plant growth and promote the development of more powerful roots. Start hardening young tomatoes 10-14 days before planting in a greenhouse or open ground. To do this, take out the seedling trays outside for 3-4 hours every day.
