Seedling

Seedlings are sown in mid-March. The soil mixture is prepared nutritious and loose.

Advice

It is best to take the garden soil from the future garden as a basis.

So it will be easier for the seedlings to adapt after transplanting. Organic components need to be added to the soil: compost, humus. For looseness and relief, a little sawdust, peat and sand are introduced.

sow seedlings

Important!

Sawdust should always be steamed with boiling water before use.

The soil is brought into the heat at least a day before sowing the seedlings and watered with boiling water.

The seeds are planted to a depth of 10 mm at a distance of 2-3 cm from each other. The boxes are covered with foil and placed in a warm place. The optimum temperature for germination of tomato seeds is 24-25 ℃. When shoots appear, the film is removed and the temperature must be reduced to 20-21 ℃. The tomato effect is provided with fluorescent lighting for 2-3 evening hours so that the sprouts do not stretch out.

organic components

After the appearance of 1-2 true leaves, the tomatoes dive.

Advice!

If space permits, then it is better to transplant each sprout into a separate 2-3 liter pot.

This will allow the plant to develop a normal root system and it is easier to transfer the transplant to the beds. Water the tomatoes sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out enough, but preventing the sprouts from wilting. Seedlings are fed 1-2 times with complex mineral fertilizers or mullein infusion.

Hardening of seedlings

If the weather is good and the temperature rises to 20-24 ℃ during the day, then at the age of 5 weeks, the seedlings can be hardened. First, the plants are brought out for 30-40 minutes in the warmest hours, shading from direct sunlight. Every day, the time is increased by 1-2 hours.The second week, the seedlings are accustomed to direct sunlight. Temperatures below 14-15 ℃ are undesirable for tomatoes; in case of cold snaps, you can simply arrange long airing.

If the weather permits, the third week of hardening the plants are left outside around the clock. Depending on the region, transplanting seedlings is possible from mid-May to early June, at the age of 60-65 days.

Care

Tomatoes Effect belong to the determinant type of growth, therefore they do not need a garter. Plant height usually does not exceed 65-80 cm. No more than 3-4 plants are planted per 1 m2. It is useful to mulch the soil with sawdust or peat, this will eliminate the need for frequent loosening.

Water the tomatoes sparingly, letting the top layer of the earth dry out. This will give a signal to the plant to develop the root system and not outgrow the green mass to the detriment of yield. Increase watering only during the fruit filling.

determinant type

The tomato variety Effect is fed 3-4 times, if possible alternating complex mineral and organic fertilizers.

Harvest

After 115-120 days from the moment of germination, the first harvest of tomatoes can be expected. Effect. The poured ovary of tomatoes is bright green. Ripe fruits are neat, even, small in size, bright red. The pulp is very tasty, juicy, sweetish, with 3-4 seed chambers.
