How to grow seedlings

Proper adherence to the technology of growing seedlings will help novice gardeners avoid fatal mistakes and, as a result, reap a good harvest.

Seed preparation

Seeds of the Klondike variety do not require preliminary preparation for growing seedlings. However, it is recommended to check their quality. To do this, first look at the expiration date (indicated on the packaging). If it has not expired, then the pack is opened and the seeds are poured into a glass of warm water. If they sink to the bottom, it means the material is of high quality and suitable for planting.

It is recommended to first disinfect with soda. This will protect future plants from late blight and fungal diseases and increase the germination rate of sprouts. The seed should be soaked for a day in a soda solution (1 teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate per 1 liter of water). The seeds are then washed and dried.

Additionally, hardening can be carried out - short-term treatment of the material at negative temperatures.

The algorithm is as follows:

After lying in water for a day, the seeds are dried, placed in a gauze or fabric bag, then placed in the refrigerator (temperature - from 0 to -3 degrees).
Leave in such conditions for 20 hours.
Then take it out and leave it in the room for 5-6 hours at a temperature of about 20 degrees.
Put it back in the refrigerator.

Attention! It is forbidden to harden sprouted seeds, since low temperatures provoke the onset of rotting. The heating and cooling steps should be repeated 5-6 times.

It is important to monitor the temperature so that it is not lower than -3 degrees. Otherwise, the seeds will die. The heating and cooling steps should be repeated 5-6 times.

Container and soil

It is best to plant in specially purchased peat pots. The soil is taken from the greenhouse: it is calcined in the oven, doused with boiling water or disinfected with an aqueous solution of potassium permanganate (0.5 g of manganese is diluted per 100 ml of water).

Attention! Bacterial tomato canker, mosaic virus, band spot, late blight, blossom end and black rot are transmitted through seeds. Treatment with potassium permanganate serves to prevent the development of diseases

Fungal pathogens, bacteria, viruses, eggs and larvae of pests can remain on the surface of the seeds and under their shell, which will cause the death of the sprouts immediately after germination. You can purchase a special complex soil mixture for planting nightshades.

Fungal pathogens, bacteria, viruses, eggs and larvae of pests can remain on the surface of the seeds and under their shell, which will cause the death of the sprouts immediately after germination. You can purchase a special complex soil mixture for planting nightshades.

Seeds for seedlings are planted approximately two months before transferring to open ground. They should be immersed in the ground to a depth of no more than 2 cm. The pots should be kept in a room with a temperature within 23 degrees. The seeds are watered regularly using a sprayer. It is better to place pots with seedlings on the sunny side and rotate them several times during the day.

Growing and care

After emergence, it is necessary to wait for the first two true leaves. Now you can make a pick. Seedlings can be moved to larger containers.

It is imperative to harden the plant before planting in open ground. In the room where the seedlings are located, the temperature is gradually lowered. This is achieved by opening doors and windows in the morning and evening. After 3-5 days, the seedlings are taken outside for 2-3 hours or placed on the balcony

It is important to protect seedlings from direct sunlight. Each subsequent removal procedure increases in duration by 1-2 hours

3-4 days before transferring the seedlings to open ground, they can be taken outside and left for 2-3 days. Plants should not be exposed to the wind. The temperature when hardening outdoors should be within 16-20 degrees during the day, and no more than 8 degrees at night. It is forbidden to water the seedlings before taking them outside.

When growing seedlings in greenhouse conditions, the principle of hardening does not change. On the first day, the film is removed for 2-3 hours, and on the next day the time is increased to 5-6 hours. If the plants begin to wither, the greenhouse is covered with film again. If the reaction is normal, future tomatoes can be left open overnight.

Landing

The variety is grown traditionally - through seedlings. Seeds are sown from the 3rd decade of March. To do this, boxes or containers are filled with soil for tomatoes (loose and nutritious). Possible sowing in peat containers, tablets.

Before germination, maintain the temperature within 26 degrees. Cover the containers with film or agrofibre. From the moment of germination, the temperature is lowered and kept at 15-16 degrees for up to 10 days. Then a stable regime of 20-22 degrees is established.

What are the nuances of care:

irrigation through a spray bottle;
feeding 2 times;
picking;
additional lighting.

Young bushes at 56-58 days are ready to move to a permanent place.

The nuances of growing in open ground and greenhouses

Klondike tomatoes are suitable for growing in greenhouses and open ground.
The plant is transferred to the greenhouse when the air temperature remains stable within 15 degrees, while the soil is pre-warmed (you need to pour boiling water on it). This disinfects. Advice. In the greenhouse, it is necessary to maintain the required level of humidity (on average, for seedlings and adult plants, the norm is 60-65%). Regulate humidity by ventilation.

Growing Klondike in open ground is easy. For the first 2-3 weeks after planting (depending on the month), it is recommended to cover the beds with film. This will help protect the plant from possible death if there is frost.

In Russia, Akulina is bred almost everywhere. This tomato ripens in open ground in the southern regions of the country. In central Russia, to grow Akulina, you may need film greenhouses and unheated greenhouses. In the northern regions of the country, tomatoes must be planted in greenhouse blocks equipped with heating.

Growing the described plant in a personal yard

After purchasing the seeds and treating them with potassium permanganate, they are sown in boxes with soil for tomatoes (it can be purchased in specialized stores). Seeds are planted to a depth of 10-15 mm, having previously introduced organic fertilizers (manure, peat) into the soil.

After the seedlings have germinated, they are picked when 2-3 leaves develop on the sprouts. Water the seedlings with warm water. When the plants are 55-60 days old, the bushes are transferred to permanent soil, having previously hardened the seedlings for 7-10 days.

No more than 3-4 bushes are planted per 1 m² of beds. Planting format - 0.5 * 0.6 m. Nitrogen and organic fertilizers are added to the soil. The next plant feeding is done after the ovary appears (potassium nitrate is used). Another one is carried out after the development of the first fruits. To do this, use complex mineral fertilizers (they must contain phosphorus and potassium) and organic matter.

Water the plants regularly with warm water after sunset or early in the morning. Most often, bushes need 2 times a week. But if the weather is hot, it is recommended to water the tomatoes every day, using a moderate amount of water for the operation.

It is recommended to weed the beds to remove weeds 1-2 times a week. If this is not done, the tomato may become infected with a fungal infection.

Breeders recommend prevention of various tomato diseases. To do this, the bushes are treated with chemicals or soap solution. To destroy garden pests that have entered the area, it is necessary to use toxic chemicals. Slugs are destroyed by introducing ash flour into the soil.
