Features of cultivation and care
To obtain an early harvest, Unique tomato varieties are sown as seedlings in late March - early April. If you plan to grow it in a greenhouse, then the seeds can be sown no earlier than mid-February. Tomatoes love heat very much, so temperature is an important indicator for them.
The optimal temperature for growing Kulchitsky tomatoes is 20–25 °C. The seedlings are placed in a lighted place. Otherwise, young plants will stretch out.
Tomatoes like infrequent, but abundant watering. During the formation of the ovary, special attention is paid to this parameter. Carefully monitor the condition of the top layer of soil, preventing it from drying out. High humidity promotes the development of fungal diseases and plant roots rot.
The Unique tomato is not too picky about the soil, however, it prefers fertilized areas with good air and moisture permeability. Do not use fresh cow manure or overdo it with organic fertilizers. Feeding during the season is not necessary, but Kulchitsky tomatoes respond well to the application of mineral fertilizers. Due to excess nitrogen, fruiting is delayed; tomatoes are formed in small quantities, but the tops and leaves are developed and have a rich green color.
Tomato Unique requires mandatory feeding with magnesium. This element is required most of all during the period of fruit growth and ripening.
Kulchitsky tomatoes require mandatory tying. To do this, use the trellis method or install separate additional supports for each bush. In order for the fruits to set and ripen as early as possible and have a marketable appearance, the bushes must be formed and pinched.
It is worth noting that the Unique tomato from vegetable grower Kulchitsky is not a hybrid. Thanks to this, gardeners are given the opportunity to independently prepare seed in the future. It is also worth noting that the variety is suitable for both growing on private plots and on farms.

Unique Kulchytskogo tomato
12.10.2018
there is a danger of a dark leg coming out into the light, and all the seedlings will die. The windows of my living space face northwest; among other things, they are blocked by trees. There is not enough natural lighting, and I have to use a fluorescent lamp with 2 LB-40 lamps as backlight. I place this lamp 10 centimeters higher than the seedlings, raising it as the seedlings grow. Electricity costs are low, because there is practically no other source of light to turn on for household chores.
I sow seeds at different times: I sow late types in the middle of February, early ones in March. I grow tomatoes both in open and confined ground. I tested a large number of planting and care methods. I settled on Igor Maslov’s method (“PH” No. 1-88). This is a very effective technique, although I think that not many varieties of tall tomatoes are suitable for growing using this method. In these species, like Hybrid 2, and similar ones, the fruits on the stepsons do not have time to ripen, and it is better to grow them in a different way: plant 2 seedling bushes at a distance of 30 centimes. among themselves and form bushes into 2 stems of any kind. The spacing between rows is 1 m.
I feed the tomato bushes every 2 weeks. Before fruiting, use ash infusion and superphosphate, and during the period of fruit filling, use mullein infusion, diluted 1:10, or pigeon droppings, diluted 1:20.
I would like to remind you again about one relevant and necessary method. This is mulching (covering) the beds with old leaves or straw. I have learned from my own experience that if the beds are covered with 10-15 centimeters of old leaves, the increase in yield will be quite significant. Rotting, the leaves will arrange the earth; When watering, a soil crust does not appear. In this way, there is no need for loosening and weeding.
Tomato seeds from collectors
The leaves prevent water evaporation and prevent dripping in greenhouses, which extremely spoils tomatoes. The intervals between waterings increase by 2-3 times, and this is especially important for gardeners whose plots are located far from the building, and they have the opportunity to water them only once a week. There are a large number of such gardeners.
And already about the views. There are a lot of them: they are divided according to purpose, taste, color, softness, density. Once a year, testing up to 10-15 new species, I realized that any species is good from its own point of view. Although from this large number there are also species worthy of special attention. For example, for greenhouses: Unique Kulchitsky, Cosmonaut Volkov, Hybrid 2 Tarasenko and others. For open ground: Iris, Grape, Strong, Tomilla, Dana, Tigrella, Indoor: Tsi-fomandra Peruvian, Japanese indoor, Minibel, Bush tomato.

In the land of evergreen tomatoes
Belarus is often jokingly called the land of evergreen tomatoes, and the Vitebsk region even more so. It’s good if your garden is protected from cold winds by the natural landscape or has a southern slope. Then it still makes sense to cultivate peppers and tomatoes, but what if not? However, don't despair. Try to use the simple and accessible technology that I want to offer you. For several years now I have been able to obtain excellent harvests. The first thing I advise you to pay attention to is the selection of varieties suitable for our northern conditions. My favorite varieties: Salad, Unique, Kulchitsky, Vasilisa, Gift of Georgia, Black plum, Orange pear, Yellow icicle, Marhot brush, Garten Freude and others. They have a good taste, are suitable for pickling and canning, and most importantly, are resistant to disease.
I treat the seeds and sow them at the end of March or early April. I take the soil disinfected under natural conditions - from a garlic bed. I mix it with river sand in a 1:1 ratio, and add a glass of sifted ash to a bucket of this mixture. I mix everything, sift it through a coarse sieve and scatter it into old frying pans or other necessarily small dishes. This provides a number of advantages: it is more convenient to water, transfer from one room to another, and most importantly, the roots of plants develop not deeper, but wider.

I'll duplicate my question here.
Colleagues, is anyone planning to go to Tanya Trusova in the near future? We need to take the seeds from her for Tina, which were given by Vasilich. Well done, he gave Tina a gift - the tomato seeds that she was looking for. It will be easier to pick them up from someone in the city.
By the way, next year the seed bank will receive the following varieties from him (our good friend!): Herodes, Blonde with Big Breasts, Blue Pear, Blue Clemantine, Golden Tiger, Pink Elf, Virginia Candy, AAA Sweet Solino, Black Prince, Ukrainian Elena, Chocolate marmalade, Striped delight, Rome, Palm, P20+ beauty king Red coal, Blue Tom, Midnight choice, Yamali blue, Blue chocolate, Black pear, Black Oxford, Purple dragon, Honey, Blue apple, Blue pineapple, Amur tiger, Orange blue. Chef Hubert, Ozaltin.
There will be 2 seeds each, you can take a turn. But the condition is the same - you must return your own seeds to the Bank!
Again, I repeat: Valery Vasilyevich is very interested in purchasing sweet varieties of raspberries (not remontant). Can anyone help? Any advice?
