Immediate picking of tomatoes for an early harvest

click fraud protection

An urgent pick is needed if the tomatoes are lagging behind in development. This means that they have a problem with the roots (root rot, or simply the roots suffocate without oxygen, the soil is caked, flooded with water). I'll show you with my example:

  • What is developmental delay
  • What the root system looked like
  • How the pick influenced

Look, these are good tomatoes:

Seedlings in a ringlet on February 18-19, photo on March 3. All the standard tomatoes are early ripening, here 12-13 days after germination in a ringlet

And here are the laggards, they are only 4 days younger:

Agree, this is not 4 days of development difference, so an immediate pick was needed

The roots turned out to be healthy, not yellow, not frail, but not developed:

Approximately all 4 are of this size, only one spine is longer

This year I have overflow epidemic. The first sowing was done on February 2, and I had to leave. Not a single tomato out of eight has sprung up. Almost all of the petunias in peat tablets have sprung up, but the tomatoes have not.

Then the daughter soaked the seeds on February 12 and on February 16, sowed it with sprouted beaks. It turned out 7 live sorts.

Some of the seedlings are in the same cups, the moisture has managed to evaporate, so new seeds have sprouted :)

Why sow so early? I wanted tomatoes in May :) Half myself, half my friend.

Transplanted so

  • All the tomatoes fell out of the containers with a maximum clod of earth
  • Now moment important for such an urgent pick. Usually a lump of earth is better. And this time she gently shook off the ground to the maximum. To see the roots. If there were yellow tips, they would have to be broken off. In my case, it was not.
  • The substrate was completely renewed: I added vermiculite and biohumus to the purchased Agricola soil.
  • Added a tablet of glyocladin, from probable rot.
  • I transplanted in the evening so that the tomatoes would rest at night. And in the morning they were already warming themselves under phytolamps. I decided that at such a young age, they would only be glad to have a healing light. And so it turned out. Seedlings were on February 23-24, picking on March 3, 7-8 days after germination in a ring.

This is how the displaced persons look literally in 6 days:

A leaf fell off the smallest tomato (left), this did not interfere with growth. Let me remind you that only 13-14 days have passed since the germination of the ring

Immediate picking turned out to be the right decision.

By the way, I transplanted the advanced troika into a larger container, on March 9 there is such a gratifying picture:

The stems are just super:

18-19 days from seedling in a ringlet

Did you have to urgently dive tomatoes?

I would be grateful for your subscription and communication :)
