Cut off the tops. Oh-oh-very interesting observations

click fraud protection

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:

I sprayed tomato seedlings with these bacteria once 2 days after transshipment

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:

I removed the tops of the very small heads so that the plant would not waste energy on them

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:

February 10, tomato the day after cutting the crown. Four sinuses for the growth of stepsons are clearly visible

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?

I would be grateful for your subscription and communication :)
