Growing seedlings

Unfortunately, the seeds collected from the harvest cannot be used for planting; it is recommended to buy fresh from verified suppliers every year. The date of sowing seeds for seedlings depends on the climatic zone of planting and the place of planting.

Seeds are pre-treated first with the goal of disinfection - using a manganese solution, then they are placed in a growth stimulator for early germination.

The soil is also treated with a hot solution of manganese before planting. Then, shallow grooves are made in it, prepared seeds are laid in them and sprinkled with soil mixed with sand. Before the emergence of seedlings, the container with future seedlings is placed in a warm place, protecting from direct sunlight. After emergence, the container is placed on the windowsill, watered every 5 days.

The optimum temperature for growing seedlings is 20-23 degrees.When the seedlings release a couple of three leaves, they can be peaked in separate peat cups. Topping up seedlings is carried out several times, before being transferred to the soil. At the stage of 1-2 leaves, you can make a solution of complex fertilizers specially designed for seedlings. Before diving young plants they are fed with growth stimulants. 14 days before planting, complex feeding is used again. About 7-10 days before transplanting, the seedlings are carried out into the air, hardening them.

Cultivation and care

This variety is transferred to the beds around the end of May, since it is not resistant to frost, it is necessary to wait for heat and the absence of frost at night. Tomatoes can be planted in greenhouses and greenhouses sometimes sometimes even in early May, it all depends on weather conditions.

Experienced gardeners recommend fertilizing the soil in autumn or early spring to provide the bushes with good fertile soil rich in trace elements. It is impossible to plant tomatoes in the same place for two years in a row, it is better to plant them where cabbage, carrots or greens were located last season. When digging holes, a distance of 40 cm is left between them, and between rows 60-70. 4 bushes are placed on one square meter.

Care for this variety is standard, you need to water the bushes regularly using warm water for this. After that, moist soil is loosened, thus, the root system is saturated with oxygen. Timely removal of weed grass, which draws nutrients from the soil, is also necessary. When planting in the wells should be added mineral fertilizers. Then I feed the plant two weeks later, after during the flowering period. The last time the bushes are fertilized a few weeks before the harvest. It is better to alternate mineral and organic feeding.

Conclusion

This hybrid has excellent varietal qualities, which is why many gardeners liked it so much. The yield for the early variety is excellent, and the fruits have excellent taste. But, of course, the personal experience of growing can not be compared with any even the most detailed descriptions.

Last year, we bought a summer cottage with a small house, it is not far from the city, so we decided to live there in the warm season. Of course, I wanted to grow something with my own hands, the neighbor in the plot was very sociable, gave me a sample of several different tomato seeds. One of them is Hurricane, I used to live in a house and am familiar with the care and cultivation of various vegetables. Mom refreshed her memory, telling in detail how and what to do. Seeds were sown in March, planted on beds in mid-June, seedlings were not sick. In July, the first ripe tomatoes appeared. The taste is excellent, the harvest is also not bad, about 2.5-3 kg per bush.

This year I decided to try to plant hybrids, although I had never planted them before. I am a man of the old school, I used to collect all seeds from the harvest. Seedlings grew powerful, healthy, the first tomatoes were eaten in early July, just ripe on his wife's birthday. The taste is excellent, do not crack during conservation. The only drawback is that every year you need to spend money on new seeds.
