Bomb! Early picking of tomatoes on the 6th day after germination
This is my favorite tomato pick. She has no downsides. Tomatoes do not stop growing for a day. Now in more detail, there are nuances.
She wrote about why she planted tomatoes so early and what varieties she chose here
Now I have future tomatoes K1, K2, K3, K4 (red hybrid) and D1, D2, D3, D4 (yellow variety).
The first to hatch were K1, K2, D1, D2 - I sowed them in separate 200 g cups, half filled with soil. About soil here, about how I soaked here
The benefits of sowing in one container
The rest of the hatched seeds were sown in one container. Objective: to create competition for better root development. Therefore, I planted the seeds soaked a day later, and, moreover, especially shallow.
The picture shows that some of them are simply smaller in stature, others are naturally "in hats", could not take them off.
Of course, it was impossible to get a special root in 6 days, however, I hope the tomatoes were programmed to survive and began to work on strengthening the roots in a competitive environment.
I used to feel sorry for the seeds, I tried to plant everything that will sprout. Life taught me to choose. We must leave the strong! Because the seed of the seed is different. I don't have a lot of space in the greenhouse and the strength to grow everything. It is necessary to choose in all possible ways.
In a large container, seeds do not germinate at the same time. With the first ring, I put the container for three days under the phytolamp. Since selection is needed, the non-simultaneity of seedlings is not critical.
Divided the tomatics into 2 groups, without bacteria and with bacteria
The first group without additives (first photo on the left). They look like twins, but no!
K1 and D1 with bedding
K3 and D3 with a pick
The other four heroes (in the first photo on the right) added bacteria: for 0.33 liters of water, 1 ml of Azotovit, 1 ml of Kaliyvit, 1 ml of Phosphatovit. I poured the cups with this solution. I will continue to water in the same way once a week. In this group, there are also two beddings, two picks.
Important! After picking and adding, I removed the tomatoes for 2 days from the phytolamp. They stood on the second shelf of the shelving, the days were just cloudy. This is the time to grow the root system without unnecessary lighting stress.
How do you feel about early picking?
