Cut off the tops. Oh-oh-very interesting observations
All eight experimental early tomatoes laid 4 sinuses. And one tomato even five. Therefore, it's time for them to trim the tops. I wrote about the essence of the experiment here
After germination, a month passed, plus three days.
These are the beauties:
Left simple watering, right with bacteria
I look at them and think that I did something so special that the seedlings are lovely to see? I wrote about everything step by step.
There was one more touch. When the seedlings were moved from the second floor to the first after transshipment, I sprayed the tomatoes with these bacteria:
After that, 12 days passed. All handsome men, including those in simple soil with simple watering. But on January 26, they looked as shown. here
Exactly 2 weeks have passed since the transshipment.
You may have completely different terms, you need to look at the tomatoes, and not at how much time has passed. Trimming the crown after a clear appearance of the fourth sinus.
Here, cut off the tops:
Important nuances
You do not need to water the tomatoes at least 2 days before cutting the crown. I had 2 days and it worked. It is better to cut it in the morning and put it right under the phytolamps. This will help the slices heal faster. If the day is sunny, then one day will be enough for healing. Just in case, do not water for 2 more days.
The scissors need to be disinfected, I wiped it with propolis tincture. Wash hands with soap before surgery.
So the tomatoes look a little unhappy the day after cutting the crown:
So what could be so good for tomatoes?
- Diatomite - found in all seedling bags
- These same bacteria from pshikalka, it was after them that the tomatoes became sharply prettier
- Successful soil "For seedlings"
- Successful phytolamp
The tomato variety Daria with 50% vermicompost (D4) was ahead of everyone, about this part of the experiment here
This bush was watered with Azotovit, Phosphatofit and Kaliyvit. He gave the fifth sinus. I left her, all the same, only 2 stems are needed for an early harvest, I will choose the strongest. That is, all tomatoes have 4 sinuses after cutting the crown, and D4 has five sinuses.
On both bushes with 50% vermicompost, stepchildren were laid down, in pairs. The main word, of course, is for the harvest.
The experiment continues.
How are your early tomatoes doing?
