Growing seedlings
For planting seedlings, you can use self-harvested soil, purchased or a mixture of them.
Soil components:
- Fertilizers. To enrich the soil, complex mineral fertilizers, ash and humus are added to it.
- Biopreparations. In order to make the soil alive, beneficial bacteria, such as Bokashi or other EM preparations, are introduced a month before planting.
- Baking powders. For loosening use river sand or vermiculite. Adding agroperlite to the soil will allow it to stay moist and airy longer, without the formation of a crust on the surface.
- Disinfection. A few days before planting, the soil mixture is shed with fungicides.
All added elements are thoroughly mixed. In order for them to interact, the soil is prepared several weeks before planting. To make the soil more homogeneous and to get rid of lumpiness, it is sifted through a large-mesh sieve.
Reusable containers for planting are disinfected. Pour the soil, lightly press and water.
To accelerate the germination of seeds, their pre-sowing treatment is carried out:
- Single-sized specimens are selected without damage.
- Treat with disinfectants.
- Soak in growth accelerators.
- Grow in a humid environment.
Procedures for preliminary preparation start the processes of seed growth, heal them, and increase the fruit set in the future.
For planting in the prepared soil, grooves are planned, with a depth of not more than 1 cm at a distance of 4 cm from each other. Seeds on the soil are laid out with tweezers, carefully so as not to break off the germinated part. A distance of 2-3 cm is observed between the seeds. From above, the crops are covered with a dry layer of soil and sprayed from a fine spray gun. Watering can not be used at this stage, so as not to bury the seeds deeper into the soil.
Crops are covered with a film and put in a warm place. The optimum temperature for germination, which must be maintained constantly, is + 23 … + 25 ° С. Before hatching, crops must be ventilated so that excessive condensate does not form, spray when the top layer dries.
After the appearance of the first loops, the shelter is removed and the seedlings are immediately exposed to a bright place or under phytolamps. Seedlings are illuminated in the first 3-4 days around the clock. At this time, the temperature of the seedling content is also reduced to + 18 ° C. If you linger with the opening of seedlings, in conditions of insufficient light and high humidity, it will stretch and improper development will begin. Decrease in temperature and additional lighting start the process of development of the root system.
Further seedlings of the Turbojet tomato will need 14-hour lighting from 7 am to 21 pm. Plants need to rest at night. On cloudy days, the seedlings are additionally illuminated throughout the day.
Watering is carried out regularly, but moderately, with complete wetting of the earthy coma. During this period, seedlings are watered only on the soil, without affecting the stems and leaves.
Dive tomato variety Turbojet when several true leaves appear. When transplanting, the roots of the plant try not to injure as much as possible. It is impossible to cut and cut off the roots.

Tomatoes are transferred to greenhouses, depending on the equipment, when the constant temperature in it does not fall below + 10 ° C at night.
Growing tomatoes in a container has several advantages. The soil in the container warms up evenly, the processes of growth and development are accelerated. But this way of growing requires more frequent watering. In open ground, dark-colored containers are covered with light-colored material so that there is no overheating of the soil.
When planting in common ground, place 3-5 plants per 1 sq. m. Between the stems, a distance of 40 cm is observed, and between rows – 50 cm. In a joint planting with other tomatoes, the short stature of the culture is taken into account and the planting pattern is observed in which all plants will receive enough lighting.
The day before planting, the earthen clod in which the seedlings grow is watered abundantly so that the roots are less damaged when removed from the container. Wells for transplantation are also watered until the water is absorbed by the soil. The tomato bush is released with roots in earthen gruel, and sprinkled with dry soil on top. The hole is covered with earth to the general level of the soil, the cotyledon leaves are not buried. In open ground, transplanted plants are temporarily shaded.
Aftercare
Abundant watering of the soil before planting is enough for several weeks, at which time the tomatoes are no longer watered. In the future, plants need abundant and regular watering. Water for irrigation is heated.
Strongly pour the root system of a tomato, especially when grown in containers, it is impossible. In this case, it will experience a lack of oxygen, and be subject to fungal infections.
