I get faster and more sprouts of Pepper

Flaming fireworks, comrades vegetable growers! Today's agenda is a topical issue increasing and accelerating seed germination Bulgarian (sweet) pepper:

• Using the "heat shock" technology, we get more seedlings in a shorter time. If you are a crop-hungry florist, take some time to seed and stimulate germination.
• Temperature fluctuations "on schedule" will allow you to get a strong plant, with a powerful, like a tank, root system. If your seedlings turn out to be flimsy and seedy, then this option will come in handy in the piggy bank of tricks and knowledge.

Get it all: reinsurance against rot

To begin with, I advise you to pickle all the seeds in a solution of potassium permanganate. The fact is that they often contain spores of fungi (hello, black leg!) And a bunch of other rubbish. Waiting for the hours for the seed to fall into the damp ground.

Comrade, be proactive. Prepare a weak solution of potassium permanganate with a strength of 1% (this is about 1 g per 100 ml of water).

In fact, no one ever observes the exact dosage, and the solution is prepared by eye until a pale pink color is obtained. Soaking time - 20 minutes, then rinsing in clean water.

Heat shock to increase germination

There is nothing better for stimulating seed germination like a long-term temperature drop. The contrast of heat and cold makes the nutrients spin in the seed, like protons and neutrons in a nuclear reactor.

Citizens, preparing in advance for sowing pepper, remove a bag of seeds on the shelf of the refrigerator. Temperature - 3-5 ° C - what the doctor ordered. Let the cherished bags lie there for at least 3 days.

And then - immediately an effective thermal shock. Place the seeds in a bag with a little water overnight and place them on the battery. If you belong to the category of lucky ones, whose batteries are fried like the sun, and you can't hold your hand, put a magazine, and then on top - a bag of seeds. In the morning, with the first roosters, start sowing.

But that's not all: another trick with a temperature helps the peppers grow hefty roots.

Second heat shock with a minus sign

At the beginning of my dacha journey, bewilderment visited me: "And why are all these crazy vegetable growers running around with the root system?" Only with experience did I understand that on weak roots, do not expect a healthy plant. And bell peppers are surprisingly root-dependent creatures. It is desirable to grow them even without picking.

When the seedlings appear, move the cups or containers with the seedlings to a cool room (15-17 ° C) for a week. Do not be alarmed that the aerial part will hardly develop.

I transfer the pepper seedlings to a cool veranda. In an apartment, you can at least move the plants closer to the glass, from which the winter cold comes

Comrades, this is what we are trying to achieve: all this time the peppers will intensively build up the root system. And only after 7 days, as if taking pity on the plants and with a satisfied grin, we transfer them to the standard maintenance mode at room temperature.

Do you like growing YOUR peppers and was this post helpful? Put "Thumbs up" in response, comrade!
