To implement the method in practice, it is necessary to take not more than 10 seeds of each variety which is to be cultivated in the garden. They do not have to buy - you can use your own harvested last year or have literally 5-7 seeds yielding varieties from the neighbors to testify.
In order to guarantee the germination, it is recommended to prepare seeds for planting. First you need to warm them in a warm place, such as putting on the battery for 2-3 days.
Then disinfected in a weak solution of potassium permanganate to be decontaminated from potential diseases.
After preparation of the seed should be soaked in plain water at room temperature or in a solution of the bioactive substances such as humate, Zircon, Appin. Keep seeds in a stimulating fluid you need at least 18 hours.
After soaking the need to sow the material in loose fertile soil, definitely marking containers - where a variety is. The box should be set to the most-lit windowsill, to accelerate the emergence of seedlings. The optimum time for sowing - the end of January - beginning of February.
When these seedlings will form three sheet, it is necessary to raspikirovat capacity of not less than 1 liter. Young plants need periodically to feed weak solution crystallite (new powder pinch in 5 liters of water). Light should be as much as possible, with a short photoperiod necessary dosvechivat seedlings fluorescent or halogen bulbs, so it does not withered.
When the plants are sufficiently developed, will gain good green mass, it is necessary to each instance to cut part of the stem to the terminal bud and send to root in a container with a simple water. Do not forget to label, where a grade is when several species are grown simultaneously. The same must be done with the stepchildren, which are formed on the mother plant.
Thus, with each sown seed can receive up to ten roots suitable for landing in a greenhouse. That is, if all were planted 10 seeds you can get about a hundred plants, which form a healthy root system and which can safely dive in open ground.
The mother specimen, from which shoots were taken, too, is suitable for further cultivation.
Gardeners who practice this method of cultivation of tomatoes, say it saves time and energy: no need to take care of hundreds of copies (which I need somewhere else and post), and money: no need to buy a large amount of expensive seed, enough only a dozen seeds tomato.
In addition, it is seen that the seedlings grown in this way gives an early and abundant harvest and has high resistance to diseases such as late blight, which affects many tomatoes.
If you collect the seeds from only one tomato every variety, planted in the greenhouse, mark them and lay on the store, the next year you can not spend on seed dime.
