Tomato variety Intuition f1: all about seedlings

When to sow seeds

It is necessary to sow seeds 60-70 days before planting seedlings in the ground. It is easy to find out the term, but it depends on the cultivation area.

How to prepare the soil

Tomatoes can be planted in wooden or plastic boxes, or in containers. The container needs to be disinfected. It is necessary to pour over boiling water, potassium permanganate or boron must be dissolved in it.
The soil is prepared well in advance. You can purchase a store-bought primer. It already contains all the necessary elements for good growth and development of seedlings. If you want to make the soil yourself, then in this case you need to mix turf, humus or compost fertilizer, or peat. In order for the earth to be more well saturated, wood ash and superphosphate must be added to it.

Seed preparation and sowing

The variety is immune to common nightshade diseases. But preventive measures will not hurt. If you are not sure about the seeds, then before sowing, process them in a solution of salt or potassium permanganate. After the seeds are soaked, you need to rinse them with clean water and dry them completely. You can also treat the seeds with the drug "Fitosporin".
It is necessary to plant seeds in furrows, the interval between them is 3 cm, and between seeds - 1-1.5 cm. It is required to deepen the seeds by 0.8 cm.

How to care for and replant seedlings

Until the shoots appear, the boxes are left in a warm and bright place. When seedlings emerge, the temperature conditions should be lowered slightly to prevent the seedlings from pulling out. If there is not enough light, install a lamp.

Watering is carried out when the surface soil layer is dry.
Excessive watering and drying of the land are two dangerous reasons for disrupting the growth of bushes.

When 2-3 true leaves appear, picking is carried out in individual 0.5-liter containers. The soil composition is identical to the seed composition. If the soil is fertile, you do not need to feed the seedlings. Care: watering on time, turn the containers every day.

Agrotechnics

Seedlings should be 20-25 cm tall, have a thickened stem before planting and grow Intuition tomatoes in a greenhouse.
Greenhouse soil must be prepared in advance. It is necessary to add humus, peat, wood ash to it, spill it all with boiling water with potassium permanganate. It is better to prepare during the autumn season. The depressions should be 60 cm apart. If you want to add soil, then take it from the ridges where cabbage, peppers or eggplants grew. Do not use soil that was previously used for tomatoes.

Seedlings are planted in cloudy weather or in the evening. When planting seedlings, do not deeply bury them. Otherwise, the bush will give out new roots, and green mass collection will begin.
Subsequent care procedures: watering, weeding, mulching, fertilization.

Rules for the variety

7 days after the seedlings are rooted, they need to be tied to a support, since a bush of high stature will not be very good from being overloaded with fruits in the future. As long as the stem is growing, it must continue to be tied up.

The formation of the bush takes place in 1-2 stems. Excess shoots are cut off.
Leaves and shoots are removed up to the first flower. In the future, you should remove the leaves under the tassels that are tied.

Fertilizers can be herbal infusion, mullein infusion and wood ash. Ash can be applied dry and sprayed with the solution on the leaves. Or make an ash hood.
