How to sow seeds for seedlings
To obtain high-quality, healthy seedlings, sowing seeds is necessary in late March - early April. Before placing them in the ground, you should perform processing with a weak solution of potassium permanganate. A longer container is placed in a warm place. During this period, lighting is not necessary, and the temperature should be approximately 25-30 degrees.
After the appearance of small shoots, which still resemble small hooks, the boxes should be moved to another place. Here they need to provide illumination with a fluorescent lamp, and the temperature is lowered by 2-3 degrees.
In phase 1-2 of these leaves, plants are picked. To do this, use either a more spacious container for everyone, or each bush is planted in a separate cup. During this period, plants should be fed about 2-3 times with a complex of fertilizers.
Approximately 7-10 before the intended landing in the ground, the bushes must be hardened. To do this, either opening the windows or seedlings are taken out briefly on the street.
On open beds, tomatoes should be planted at the age of 55-70 days. It is important that the threat of frost passes. Around the beginning of June.
Planting in the greenhouse is a little earlier - May 15-20. Landing is performed according to the scheme 70x30 or 70x40. Plants need regular watering.
Important! For watering use exclusively warm water.
It is necessary to feed tomatoes during the flowering period and the beginning of fruit ovary. And also during the appearance of a little red on a green tomato. This is necessary to improve the formation of fruits.
The appearance of the bushes will tell you what they lack.
- If the plant lacks nitrogen, the leaves on the bushes become very pale, the upper leaves do not curl.
- With an overdose of nitrogen, the leaves on the bushes acquire a very dark color. The top leaves are wrapped and do not unfold all day. At the same time, a small number of ovaries is noted, since the plant spends its strength on growing leaves and stepsons.
- If the plant receives enough nitrogen, then the bushes have a typical color of their variety, the leaves have the correct shape and size.
In order for the fruits to fill, they need potassium.
Watering
As well as top dressing, watering should be regulated depending on the growing period.Tomatoes love moisture, but they do not tolerate its excess in the soil. For example, with the formation of flower brushes, excessive watering can provoke excessive growth of leaves and side shoots. This will provoke a delay in the development of the fruit.
On the contrary, a lack of moisture in the soil can lead to a delay in the development of the fruit.
Also, during the occurrence of ovaries, a lack of moisture in the soil can lead to their loss. Excessive watering after a long drought, sharp fluctuations in moisture in the soil can adversely affect the quality of tomatoes.
Ladies' man is tall, therefore, requires mandatory garter to the support, as well as the removal of stepsons. The best cultivation of this variety is the formation of bushes in two stems.
Growing Features
First of all, you should take care of the “right” soil. It should have a low level of acidity. To prepare beds for tomatoes should be in the autumn. For this, it is necessary to introduce manure into the soil. But, do not forget about top dressing in the spring. At this time, in addition to manure, potassium chloride is also needed.
Ladies' man is resistant to most diseases that affect tomatoes. But, despite this, processing is necessary. For this purpose, you can apply a solution of copper sulfate.
Subject to all the rules for planting and growing tomatoes, you can get a crop of about 10 kg. With 1 m2 of area.
