How to grow zucchini faster
Zucchini seedlings do not tolerate cold weather well and can die even due to slight frosts at night.
Therefore, try not to rush into sowing seedlings.
Experienced gardeners recommend planting zucchini from the second half of May until the beginning of July.
The warmer the soil and air in the garden, the faster the zucchini sprout and grow.
Choose a sunny spot with at least 6-10 hours of sunlight daily.
Enrich the soil with compost or well-rotted manure and ensure good drainage.
To speed up the growth of zucchini, you need to increase the number of ovaries at the flowering stage of the seedlings.
Foliar feeding of zucchini using a boric acid solution helps with this.
You need 5 g of crystals per 10 liters of warm water.
To attract pollinating insects to the plantings, you can additionally treat the seedlings with honey water.
To attract pollinating insects, use 1-2 tbsp. l. honey per liter of water.
In addition, mullein and chicken droppings are best suited for feeding zucchini.
For feeding they are used in diluted form. Mullein is diluted with water in a ratio of 1:10, droppings are diluted in a ratio of 1:3.
Adding undiluted fertilizer to zucchini is unacceptable.
Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry spells. Mulch around the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
