In my conditions it performed well, and this is already a big plus for Siberians.

Secrets of successful cultivation of the variety

To maintain high yields and to avoid thickening of the bush, the removal of stepsons is required.
For cultivation in the southern regions, it is desirable to place them in the shade and away from taller and leafier tomatoes. Under the direct rays of the scorching sun, the tomato will quickly begin to age.
Before planting, it is advisable for the seeds to undergo stratification at a temperature of 0 -2C degrees. It consists of placing the seeds in the refrigerator or taking them outside, where they are hardened during the day.
When planting without seedlings, it is strongly recommended to grow tomatoes under a covering material (agrofibre, spunbond, lutrasil). You can remove the cover when the threat of frost has passed and the plants have become stronger.
Scheme: planting 35x50 cm, number of plants 6-9 pcs. per sq. meter.
Despite the resistance of tomatoes to various negative factors, it is advisable to carry out 1-2 preventive treatments against diseases and pests.
Adding organic matter to the soil and regularly providing macro- and microelements in the quantities required for tomatoes.

Despite all the advantages, the variety, unfortunately, is inferior to new hybrids in many respects.

Growing and caring for early ripening varieties

The process of growing early ripening tomatoes is simple. You can use the seedling or seed method for this.

Growing seedlings

The process of sowing seeds is carried out as follows:

Send the planting material into a container with fertilized substrate in March.
Sow seeds to a depth of 2-3 cm.
To keep the soil temperature constant, cover the container with glass.
As soon as 2 true leaves are formed, pick. During this process, plant the plants in separate pots or in a greenhouse.
Planting seedlings in open ground occurs only after the likelihood of frost returning has disappeared.

Planting in open ground

Before sending seedlings into open ground, harden them. 10 days before planting, place the seedlings on the balcony for 5-10 minutes, increasing the time interval by 5 minutes every day.

Plant plants in holes or trenches. Maintain a distance of 40 cm between bushes.
It is better to plant tomatoes in a well-lit place where there is no direct sunlight.
Choose light and fertile soil.

After planting, plants need regular moisture. For irrigation, use only warm and settled water. It is best to irrigate in the evening. Feed plants with potassium fertilizers. Apply them once every 2 weeks after watering.

You can prevent contamination of tomatoes and make harvesting easier by tying up the bushes. Pinching will allow the plant to direct all its forces to the development of fruits, and not the growth of stems.

Ultra-early ripening varieties of tomatoes for greenhouses are a frequent choice of gardeners. Their main advantages: high and early yield, strong immunity to diseases and ease of care. And the sweet taste and pleasant aroma of such tomatoes will only add to their popularity.

Fertilizer application

Before the ovary appears, it is recommended to fertilize with nitrogen. Nitrogen-based preparations promote the growth of green mass and accelerate the growth of bushes. Subsequent fertilizing should be done with potassium fertilizers, which help increase productivity. It is better to use homemade infusions of ash or potassium sulfate.

You should not use potassium chloride, the active components inhibit the bushes and reduce fruiting.

At the time of flowering, give preference to boron-based preparations. The lack of this element will cause the ovary to fall off. It is better to treat the leaves with nutritional compounds, this helps the tomatoes absorb the necessary substances.

The easiest way to add the necessary elements to the soil is to use nutritious mulch. Rotted manure and compost spread around the tomatoes will protect the soil from drying out and decreasing temperature. Rainwater will allow beneficial elements to penetrate to the roots of the bushes.

How to water Siberian early ripening?

It is important not to overdo it when watering the variety - tomatoes are easily affected by diseases at high humidity. It is recommended to moisten the soil every 2-3 days, but only under stable heat.

Use only warm water for watering tomatoes, pre-infused in the sun. For one bush, 6-8 liters of liquid is enough. For better penetration of moisture into the soil, loosen the soil first. Do not penetrate too deep into the soil; there is a risk of damaging the roots, which will affect the above-ground part of the bush.
