From this we count back the number of days from germination to planting seedlings in a permanent place: for tomato - 45-50 days, for pepper and eggplant - 50-55 days, for cucumber - 15-20 days.
Plus another 4-5 days (for tomato and cucumber) or 7-9 days (for pepper and eggplant) required for seed germination.
How to water seedlings for rapid growth
You can feed the seedlings with potassium nitrate, potassium magnesium, potassium monophosphate, potassium sulfate, and potassium sulfate.
For example, dissolve 0.7–1 g of potassium monophosphate in 1 liter of water and water the seedlings at the root. After 10–15 days, fertilizing can be repeated.
How to stimulate root growth in seedlings
To create such favorable conditions, gardeners add coarse river sand, agroperlite or vermiculite to the soil mixture. Picking.
Picking seedlings also stimulates the growth of the root system.
When picking for the first time, it is recommended to pinch the main, central root to stimulate the development of lateral roots.
How to water tomato seedlings
