The timing of planting seedlings and planting in the ground
In order for the seeds to germinate on time, it is necessary to plant them 2 months before the approximate dates of planting in the soil. The soil should be prepared in advance, in the fall, you can purchase a ready-made store mix. A soil mixture composed independently of sod-type soil, humus, peat is perfect.
Before planting seeds, it is important to process them with potassium permanganate in solution or any stimulating substance. Seeds are planted in containers, deepened by about 15 cm.
After planting, the soil is watered with water at room temperature and covered with polyethylene or film. The film is not removed until confident sprouts hatch. The containers are placed in a warm place, after the appearance of the second leaves, you need to plant the plants in separate pots. So the root system will develop more actively and become stronger.
For the healthy development of seedlings, it is optimal to equip high-quality lighting. It is better to extend the daylight hours to at least 16 hours, so the tomatoes will get stronger faster. You should also not forget about hydration. There should be enough moisture, but not in excess. With excessive moisture, the plant will hurt or die.
