It is required to you

Instruction
1. Soil temperature for cucumbers is maintained at the level of +20 … 22 °C. Low air temperature (+10 … 12 °C) will not allow to be formed to fruits, and too high will break pollination process. At strong overheating (more than +40 °C), pollen perishes at all.
2. Cucumbers place on the balcony coming to the South and the southeast party. This culture is afraid of drought and very much loves moisture therefore it is necessary to water cucumbers is abundant, and in sunny weather also is frequent. At critically low soil moisture and air and also at lack of light, flowers and ovary of plants fall down. Such grades as "will be suitable Connie for cultivation on the balcony of F1", Zozul, Kukarach, "April", Stella, "Debut", Gribovchanka, "City cucumber", "Balcony", "Calendar", "Humming-bird".
3. Preparation of seeds of cucumbers for crops takes place as follows. They need to be sorted in size and to put large, small and average in separate boxes. To calibrate in five-percent salt solution – those that will emerge on surface, to landing not of prigdona. For half an hour to wet in one-percentage manganese solution for disinfecting. To wash with cold water. For day to wet in boric acid (half-gram on water liter) for awakening stimulation. To couch in capacity between layers of damp fabric.
4. The prepared seeds sow to the soil on depth of 0.3-0.5 centimeters. "Bed" is covered and placed in heat (on the battery). After emergence of the first shoots of plant transfer to light. Daytime temperature should not exceed +13 … 15 °C, night – +10 °C. After shoots in week the daytime temperature is lifted to +20 … by 25 °C, night – to +15 °C. In 10 days it is necessary to water seedling with ashes solution (tablespoon on water liter). Next week - potassium permanganate, with small amount of margantsovokisly potassium.
5. After emergence of 7-8 leaves seedling is replaced in constant big tanks – boxes or buckets and send balcony. During this period the regular watering is especially important. The stalk is tied up to peg which is stuck to the earth, or do for ogurechnik on the balcony special grids on which it can curl. Daytime temperature of air should not fall below +20 °C, night – it is not below +14 °C. During fructification temperature 26 °C and +18 … increase in the afternoon to +25 … 20 °C at night.
