Gardeners' opinions
Good day! This is my second year of growing tomatoes. To all gardeners with little experience in growing nightshades, I recommend the Titanic variety. The plant does not require special care. In the south of Russia it shows a good harvest in open ground conditions. The stem is weak and requires garter. Over the summer I fertilized the tomato 6 times, watered it with warm water, and loosened it. I collected 5 kilograms of berries from one bush.

I recommend the Titanic variety to all tomato lovers. The hybrid, bred by Russian breeders, bears fruit well even in apartment conditions. I grow tomatoes on the balcony all year round. The berries are juicy and sweet. Suitable for vegetable salads, wraps and canning. It is important to ventilate the room well, feed and water regularly. I recommend!

Appearance of plant and fruit
This mid-late standard variety was bred in the North Caucasus and registered 16 years ago. It belongs to determinate varieties, that is, the bush stops growing after 2-6 brushes appear on the main stem, and the last brush becomes its top. It grows well in open ground (southern regions of Russia), in greenhouses and even on balconies due to the compact size of the bush: up to 70 cm in height. Ripe tomatoes are flat-round in shape, rich pink in color, average weight 90 - 120 g, tasty, fleshy and juicy, with smooth, dense skin. 3 - 5 fruits ripen on one cluster. The bush is small, medium branched, with large green leaves.
It tolerates transportation well and can be stored for a long time in a cool place.
This variety grows well in open ground in central Russia, belongs to the determinant category and grows no more than 70 cm in height.
Agricultural technology
The variety is medium-late, that is, from the moment the seedlings are planted until the first harvest appears, 120 - 140 days will pass. The most favorable climate for the Titan tomato is in the southern part of Russia, where it grows and ripens well in open ground. In the central zone, a film shelter is required, and in the northern regions it grows only in greenhouses, as it does not ripen before the onset of cold weather.
Up to 4.5 kg is collected from one plant, and from one square meter. - up to 35 kg depending on planting density.
Growing seedlings should begin in mid-March. Before planting, seeds collected independently must be soaked in a solution of potassium permanganate to prevent diseases. Those seeds that float are not suitable for cultivation. (Store seeds do not need this procedure, as they are processed industrially).
Keep the seeds in solution for 10 - 12 hours, during which time you need to prepare the soil for planting: heat the soil in the oven, add a little river sand and wood ash. You can sow seedlings in a box or cups. After sowing, pour warm water over the seeds from a spray bottle, cover with film and place in a warm place. After the first shoots appear, place the container with the seedlings in a bright and warm place and remove the film. It is necessary to water the plants regularly and rotate the box for uniform growth. After the first true leaves appear, you need to pick up the seedlings and make the first fertilizing with mineral fertilizers. 7 - 10 days before the intended planting in the ground or greenhouse, begin to harden the plants: open the window on which they stand for 2-3 hours, or take them out into the open air.
To grow tomatoes, you need to take care of the availability of seedlings in advance.
Planting in a greenhouse or garden bed
It is necessary to plant strong seedlings in open ground 30 - 35 days after emergence: in the southern part of Russia it is possible in mid-May, in the central regions - in early June. They are transplanted into a greenhouse or under film cover in mid-May. With well-prepared soil and regular fertilization, it is possible to plant up to 9 bushes per square meter. A description of the optimal planting scheme is available on the seed packaging. Before planting the bushes in a permanent place, it is necessary to spill the soil with a solution of copper sulfate or potassium permanganate and add mineral fertilizer to each hole.
Throughout the entire time, the plant needs regular weeding, loosening, watering and fertilizing with mineral fertilizers. Organic fertilizers can be applied in small quantities once a month.
It is necessary to form a bush of 2-3 stems to increase productivity.
During the period of intensive growth, the tomato needs regular fertilizing with potassium and phosphorus.
The trunk needs to be tied up, and supports for the branches must be prepared in advance, since without additional support the brushes can break under the weight of the fruit.
To increase yield, you can remove foliage down to the fruit clusters.
The crop is harvested at the end of August. The fruit ripening interval is short.
Its compact size allows you to grow this variety on the balcony of a city apartment.
Plants in a greenhouse and open ground need tying, pinching and fertilizing and loosening the soil around the root system.
Disease resistance
This variety boasts high resistance to fungal and other nightshade diseases. But he is afraid of late blight disease in high humidity conditions. To combat it, “Fitosporin” is used.
To prevent late blight, reduce watering and frequently ventilate the greenhouse.
In the southern regions it is subject to attacks by the Colorado potato beetle. If you notice even one striped pest, you should treat the plant with Prestige.
Pests such as whiteflies, sawflies and moths are afraid of the drug "Lepidocid".
Variety variety
A subspecies of this variety is the Titanic tomato f1. The fundamental difference between tomatoes is that the hybrid subspecies ripens earlier than the main one - 100 - 110 days after emergence, and that the subspecies must be formed into one stem. Otherwise, there is no difference in the cultivation and quality of tomatoes.

Bush care
Low-growing bushes do not require pinching, but do need to be tied to posts due to the setting of a large number of large fruits. In addition, it is advisable to place supports under branches with particularly large fruit clusters.
Also, special attention should be paid to the application of fertilizing, without which the nominal yield cannot be achieved. The first time is fed 10 days after planting with a mullein solution (1 liter of infusion per bucket of water). Subsequently, fertilizing is carried out once every two weeks using NPK complexes or self-prepared fertilizers.
Otherwise the care is standard:
- Moderate watering;
- Loosening the soil by 5-7 cm;
- Mulching the beds to retain moisture in the ground and prevent fruit cracking.
