To sow your seeds inside for best results about 6 weeks before last frost days. This allows the plants a healthy start with the development of a strong root system, a sturdy handle, and a lot of leaves, rather than with a world of unpredictable spring weather and garden pests is struggling.
To start tomatoes indoors, you must plant trays, shelves, interior lighting, ground good starting point, and a fan. The step-by-step guide below illustrates the main steps of howPlant seeds of tomato:
Set shelves and lamps
Do you need a rack to hang a lighting system, and a means to adjust the height of the headlights grow your plants. A good cheap way to do this is with a set of lights shop with cold white fluorescent tubes.
Plant seeds in a good position average
A simple way to start a semi-starter kit, which includes a tray with plastic inserts or nursery peat pellets. Peat pellets are an easy way to startAs water is added to expand the pellet and place the seeds.
When using a traditional kindergarten-tray, fill each cell with a suitable starter and mix the seeds to a depth of about ¼ inch. Look for a medium that is specially designed for starting plants from seed. These mixtures are usually found as "sterile", ie any micro-organisms in the traditional terrain, which can quickly damage delicate plants.
Enter belowHeat during germination
An important step in dealing with the seeds of the tomato plant is down the heat, which can during germination. Seedling heating mats are a great way to promote geothermal energy to heat and fire fast.
Mats are widely available at nurseries and hardware stores locally. Althoug germination, giving your dishes on other hot surfaces, such as household appliances can be achieved, the combination of bright lights and seedling mat that covers highly reliableMethod.
Finally, the floor covered with plastic domes (often supplied with the kit). This helps the heat and moisture during germination.
Emerge after a couple of your plants begin to immediately remove the heat down. Do not wait for all surface facilities, such as persistent high temperatures can cause plants to grow quickly, giving them a great stature "long legs".
Enter a constant air circulation
Using a fan to circulate air to keep plants on a process called"Damping off", which can quickly kill plants and unexpectedly. Damping-off will be a number of things, including fungi and soil-line rot caused by excessive moisture. However, with a fan is usually effective in preventing this. The use of a fan will also strengthen the stems of plants so that they are also less sensitive to unexpected gusts of wind, if planted in the garden.
Note that once the plants have developed the first 2 or 3 sets of leaves, changing from a starterSeed mixture for half the nutrient-rich medium. Transplant them in larger containers and keep something under the lights for 2 or 3 weeks. Be sure to use a good potting soil instead of soil, to avoid problems. Potting mix is widely available in both organic and nonorganic forms.
When it comes time to plant tomatoes in the garden, you should get used to handing out small plants, more and more time each day for a period of 4-7Days.
