Hybrid Author Tips

The description of the variety or hybrid determines the cultivation rules. This is the only way to really get the desired crop of tomatoes. It is required to follow the recommendations of agronomists:

• put dishes with crops in heat (25 ⁰ C);
• transfer to light after the first stitches;
• light day to bring to 16-18 hours;
• dive into separate containers when real leaves grow;
• do not overfill;
• use root and foliar top dressing;
• who planted Fletcher knows: young plants require hardening, airing;
• in autumn, bring mature natural organics under the shovel;
• fill the ridges with mineral complexes (potassium, phosphorus) in the spring;
• to strengthen the bushes add calcium nitrate (1 tablespoon per well, sprinkle with earth, do not mix);
• plant has heavy tassels: garter needed;
• plant Fletcher follows the scheme: 60 cm x 60 cm;
• The soil needs to be covered with mulch (makes it easier to care for plants).

For better survival of the bushes, it should be sprayed with an anti-stress preparation when planting. Before flowering, it is recommended to make foliar top dressing with nitrogen fertilizers. A simple measure will strengthen the plants. Then stop adding N: Fletcher will fatten.

What gardeners like the hybrid

Reviews of summer residents are good. I like the taste, unpretentiousness, universal purpose, size of tomatoes.

Says a summer resident from the Novosibirsk region: “I grew bushes at home, then planted a hybrid in a greenhouse. Noted 100% seed germination. The bushes stretched up to 1 m 80 cm. It was necessary to lighten and tie up the brushes. Loved the sweet taste of the tomatoes. Disappointed by the excessive density of the pulp. This is due to insufficient watering.

The bushes did not hurt anything, the pests did not gnaw them. Harvested in 2 doses: in July and late August. Next year I will grow Fletcher outdoors.”
