Ready seedling tomato can be bought, but much more fascinatingly to grow up it independently. For the first time it can seem troublesome occupation. It is necessary to know many subtleties - how to prepare seeds, it is correct to carry out watering, fertilizing and dive of seedlings.
It is required to you
- Seeds of tomatoes, capacity for seedling, soil mix, water, fertilizers.
Instruction
1. Landing time of seedling tomato: from February to April. It depends on grade. Sow tall tomatoes in February, and undersized - in March. Before landing surely sort seeds: bad and damaged, atypical color, small throw out. Leave only large and full sunflower seeds for crops. They are the most viable. For increase in viability place seeds in potassium permanganate solution for 30 minutes. Such ratio: 1 gram of permanganate of potassium on 100 ml of water. Instead of potassium permanganate it is possible to use solution of fitosporin or growth factors.
2. In advance buy in shop nutritious soil for seedling of tomatoes or prepare it independently. For this purpose take peat, humus and the cespitose earth in equal parts. It is possible to pave also such way: one part of the rerotting humus, one part of sand, one part of the forest or garden earth. Surely sift earth mix through sieve with cells on 5 cm. Fill the prepared soil in boxes, level it and stamp.
3. Before landing of seeds spill the soil. Make grooves by means of stick or ruler. Depth of grooves - 0.5 cm. Distance between grooves - 3 cm. Then spread out seeds in grooves with distance of 2-3 cm from each other. In one box sow seeds only of one grade. Later cover the put sunflower seeds with earth and humidify the soil from spray. That the earth remained damp and did not dry up, cover boxes with film or glass. Put them to the warm place before emergence of shoots.
4. For emergence of shoots the night time temperature has to be not less than +12 With, and day +20 C and more. In February daylight hours still very short therefore seedling should be highlighted in addition. For this purpose use daylight lamps. Turn on them in 8 o'clock in the morning, and switch off at ten o'clock evenings. Height of arrangement of lamps: 10-15 cm from seedling. In process of growth of seedlings they should be lifted.
5. Water seedlings with melt or rain water. It is possible to use also boiled water. When shoots still very small, spray the earth with spray not to damage stalks. When plants have 4 real leaflets, them it is necessary to dive in separate tanks. Use the same substrate in which you planted tomatoes. Replace seedlings together with earth lump on roots. Continue to highlight Pikirovanny seedling daylight lamps.
6. Prior to sword-play and also after seedling it is possible to feed up every ten days. For this purpose use the following structure: 100 grams of chicken dung on 10 liters of water, 300 grams of manure on 10 liters of water. Or feed up humous infusion: 500 grams on 10 liters of water. It is necessary to draw it within 2 days. During the sword-play on bottom of new capacity throw one grain of superphosphate. And after the sword-play the volume of fertilizers on one glass - 30 ml.
