Tomato seedlings bloomed before planting in a permanent place, what to do.

Wound flowering tomato seedlings are alarming for some gardeners. More experienced summer residents do not pay attention to this, as they know some ways to cope with such a situation. By solving the problem in time, you can get an excellent harvest.
Why seedlings bloom ahead of schedule
If it is still cool enough outside, and the seedlings have already begun to bloom, then the reason is hidden in the early sowing of seeds. It is worth sowing them 2 months before transplanting into open ground. If the seedling has only a few buds, then this is normal.
The seedlings planted in the soil should be about 20-35 cm high along the stem, have no more than 2 inflorescences and about 8-10 leaves. Such bushes do an excellent job with transplanting, both in open and closed ground. The buds will not wither or fall off, and the yield will be excellent.
What measures to take with actively flowering seedlings
If the plant has elongated and bloomed, then it will probably suffer a transplant painfully. Most often, all flowers fall off, and this leads to a later yield.

An overgrowth of the stem is an indicator that the plant has not been properly cared for. There was not enough light, the air temperature was too high, insufficient fertilization, excessive moistening the soil in poor lighting, improper use of fertilizing - all this negatively affects culture. In order for the seedlings not to get sick during transplanting, but to feel comfortable, they need proper watering, temperature regime, and timely fertilization. During the day, the air temperature should be from 16 to 18C, at night it should not drop below 13-15 degrees. Since tomatoes love warmth, adherence to this temperature will not be, leads to their stretching. By placing the seedlings in a room with a sunny window, where the air temperature reaches 22-24 degrees, you will push them to grow rapidly.
The first month after the appearance of seedlings, it is recommended to water it once a week. To do this, you need warm water of 20 degrees. It is necessary to sow tomatoes in boxes. The transplant is carried out after the appearance of 2 to 3 true leaves. If you delay the transplant, then the seedlings will be worse, its leaves can grow together, and this will lead to poor passage of sunlight to the bush. Also, due to the proximity, air circulation is disrupted. After watering, the air humidity becomes much higher than normal.
