5. Seeds should be placed 1 cm deep in prepared soil.
6. Until the first shoots appear, the box with seeds should stand in a warm place with slight shade.
7. As soon as the first shoots appear, the box should be moved to a place with good sunlight, for example, on a wide window sill on the south side.
8. When the sprouts have 3 leaves, each plant needs to be planted in separate pots - pricked.
9. After diving, tomatoes need to be watered more often so that the soil under them does not dry out.
10. 10-14 days before planting in the garden, you need to start hardening the seedlings at a suitable temperature.

Attention! There is no point in collecting seeds yourself from the harvest, since the fruits you get will be completely different. Therefore, seed material should be purchased only in specialized stores.

The seedlings of this hybrid are transferred to an open garden bed only when the outside temperature stabilizes. There should be no threat of late frosts in the spring. If you are still afraid of a sharp drop in temperature, it is worth covering the bed with sprouts with a thick transparent film for a certain period of time.

• During flowering and fruiting, Red Red F1 tomatoes need to be watered abundantly;
• the hybrid needs to be fed regularly, for which compost is used;
• when the hybrid blooms, its bush needs to be lightly shaken periodically;
• when growing tomatoes, you can use special growth regulators, they will allow you to get the harvest faster, but even without them the hybrid will grow quite well;
• you need to be very careful with nitrogen fertilizer;
• You should pay close attention to the formation of the bush; you should remove the stepchildren in a timely manner.

The hybrid “Red red f1” can be grown both in the open air and in a greenhouse. If the gardener chooses the second option, the greenhouse should be ventilated every day.

Planting seedlings depends on its condition and the climatic characteristics of the area. On average, seedlings begin to be transplanted in the interval from late April to early June.

It is better to grow tomatoes of this variety entirely in a greenhouse. The best option is to plant seedlings in a greenhouse located in a greenhouse, followed by cultivation after pinching has been carried out.

In this case, it will be possible to obtain the highest possible yields.

If it is not possible to grow seedlings in a greenhouse, then it is best to place them in peat pots. This way the roots of the plant are less damaged.

Sowing seeds

In greenhouses equipped with a heating system, reviews recommend planting the Red Red F1 tomato with seeds as early as the end of March. When growing in film greenhouses, you need to prepare seedlings in advance.

The timing of sowing seeds of the Red Red variety for seedlings depends on the climatic conditions of the region. Seedlings of the hybrid variety will be ready for transplanting into greenhouse beds in about 2 months, and the soil in the greenhouse should already be warmed up to 10 by this time. Since seedlings of the F1 variety will quickly begin to stretch, you should not overexpose them in a box - this will affect the yield of the bushes tomatoes.

When selecting seed, it is necessary to take into account that seeds that were collected two years ago have a higher germination rate. Commercial seeds of the F1 hybrid variety are subject to a disinfection procedure, so it is enough to treat them with a growth stimulator. But many reviews of the Red tomato advise soaking the seeds for a short time before sowing in a weak solution of potassium permanganate.

When the sprouts throw out a couple of leaves, you can pick them up using peat pots - they reduce the likelihood of injury to the roots. At the same time, you should carry out the first fertilizing of F1 tomatoes with complex fertilizer. The next one is done before planting in the beds, about two weeks later.

Usually, from mid-May, it is necessary to carry out the procedure of hardening off the sprouts of the hybrid variety F1, taking the pots out into the fresh air. The time spent outside gradually increases, and after a few days they can be left all day.

When the soil in the greenhouse is already sufficiently warmed up, the Red Red F1 tomato is planted in the beds:

• The planting pattern should not be too dense - three seedlings in a row per 1 m is quite enough;
• the optimal row spacing is 1 m;
• The beds should be well loosened and the holes should be prepared by adding a little wood ash to them.

Between the seedlings you need to leave enough space for hilling the bushes. If you add soil to the roots as they grow, F1 tomatoes will strengthen better and develop adventitious roots. They will provide F1 tomatoes with additional nutrition.

Organization of watering

Watering tomatoes with Red Red should be moderate and should be done as the soil dries:

• drip irrigation can be arranged in greenhouses;
• water used for irrigation must be settled;
• mulching with straw or peat will help protect the soil from drying out;
• after each watering of the F1 tomato, you need to loosen the soil to increase its breathability;
• Timely weeding of beds to remove weeds is also important.

Reviews from gardeners

And it tastes like pure honey, as the name states. I will buy more.
• Evgeniy from Shuya. I am an avid gardener, I look forward to the start of the season, I buy new vegetable crops. I have been planting Honey Dome tomatoes in the garden for two years. The first year the harvest turned out to be remarkable, but many of the tomatoes were cracked. I began to look for the reason. It turned out that the error was in the watering. I watered it deeply, like other varieties, a couple of times a week. Having listened to the advice, the following summer I began to water in small portions every other day. Everything worked out. The fruits are tasty, without cracks. We love making fresh salads from them.
