The conditions for growing a variety in open ground affect the quality of the fruit. Long rains and cold weather make tomatoes taste more sour.

Tiger Cub tomatoes are grown in compliance with a number of agrotechnical measures developed for this crop. Tomato care measures:
- Bush formation. A productive and high-quality harvest is observed when the plant is grown in 2 or 3 trunks. You cannot leave more stems, otherwise the vegetables will not have time to ripen.
- Garter. Since the Tiger Cub is of the indeterminate type, fixation to a support is mandatory. The stem is attached as it grows; the brushes do not require garter.
- Stepsonning. Removing side branches is necessary, since excess greenery absorbs nutrients and, as a result, the quality of the fruit suffers. Stepping is carried out once a week.
- Watering. In open ground, watering is practiced at the root. Frequency depends on weather conditions. Moisturize as needed, approximately once every 5-7 days. It is important to monitor the condition of the soil and not allow it to dry out. During the fruiting period, water more often. Drip irrigation is recommended in the greenhouse. Immediately after the procedure, the ground is loosened.
