Seedlings of cabbage. How to grow properly
Before planting cabbage seeds for seedlings, they should be treated with potassium permanganate or hydrogen peroxide. Immerse the tip of a match with manganese crystals (two or three granules) in water, forming a pink solution. Soak the cabbage seedlings for twenty, maximum thirty minutes. This is done to disinfect the seeds to prevent root rot. Spread the disinfected seeds on a napkin or cotton and soak until they hatch.
Preparation of a mixture for cabbage seeds for seedlings: humus plus earth, fifty to fifty for sowing germinated seeds. For the formation of the root system of cabbage, a large capacity is not required.
For growing cabbage seedlings, use one-hundred-gram cups. Fill them with the prepared mixture. Spill with manganese solution. It is very easy to get seedlings from them when planting in open ground. Make sure there is a hole at the bottom of the cup. The survival rate of cabbage grown in such cups is one hundred percent. And it immediately begins to grow after disembarkation.
Three days later, when white sprouts appear, cabbage seeds for seedlings can be planted in cups one seed at a time. This is done in order not to dive.
Perfect seedlings will be formed in forty days.
To prevent the seedlings from getting sick, they need to be watered moderately, without waterlogging. Before planting, the soil should be treated with Alirin-B preparations and other biological fungicides.
When the second true leaf appears, the cabbage needs to be fed with special complex fertilizers for seedlings. And seven or ten days before planting in a permanent place, the seedlings need to be fed again.
More about feeding:
When only the first seven-leaf leaves appear, you need to do the first feeding.
This is done with yeast. For one liter of water, you will need ten grams of dry yeast and three tablespoons of sugar.
We stir all this. We are waiting for five hours. Yeast is activated, multiplies and, without diluting, spill cups with seedlings with this solution.
It is an ideal food for such cabbage seedlings. Yeast has all the macro-micro elements that are currently needed for a quick start of cabbage, to gain green mass in order to ensure a good harvest in the future. Temperature control is twenty-two degrees during the day and seventeen or eighteen degrees at night.
Make the next dressing in fifteen days. You need to give nitrogen fertilizer. You can use herbal infusions. Soak the herb and wait for it to ferment. The infusion is diluted one to ten, that is, ten liters of water are added per liter of infusion. Spill cabbage seedlings with this water. You can buy any nitrogen fertilizer from the store and feed the cabbage using the instructions provided.
In open areas, hardened seedlings should be planted. If cabbage seedlings are grown at home, then they should be taken out to the balcony. In the greenhouse, you need to open the door or raise the frame. Do not leave seedlings in the cold at night. Quenching is carried out at an air temperature above five degrees.
To plant cabbage seedlings outdoors, it must have five to six true leaves. The height from the root to the tips of the folded leaves should be between twenty and twenty-five centimeters. To get the cabbage out of the glass, you need to lower the glass into the water, take it out and hold the cabbage with two fingers, press on the bottom of the glass.And the root system comes out of the cup easily. Then we plant cabbage seedlings in open ground.
