It will take 60 days to form seedlings ready for transplantation to a permanent place. During this time, it will be possible to grow strong and healthy seedlings from the seeds. When growing, it is important to observe the following conditions: a comfortable temperature regime, a sufficient amount of light, a soil of suitable quality.

The variety Hot Coals is sensitive to low temperatures at any stage of development. If the temperature drops below +15 degrees, seed growth slows down significantly. And also the cold negatively affects the ability of the ovary of tomatoes. Extremely high temperatures of more than +30 degrees are also harmful for seedlings. The best temperature for germinating seedlings is 21-28 degrees Celsius. Higher temperatures lead to wilting of plants.

Vegetable crops constantly require moisture throughout the growing season. When grown in open areas, 5 liters of water are used per bush. Irrigation is carried out once a week. This amount of water will be quite enough for the full development of bushes and the formation of juicy tomatoes. In greenhouses, about 3 liters of water are consumed per plant once a week. Stagnant moisture can cause rotting of the root system and the development of fungus. And also excess water negatively affects the formation of ovaries and the taste of the crop. Tomatoes begin to crack, losing marketability.

A few weeks (2-4) before picking tomatoes, watering is stopped in order to increase the percentage of dry matter in the tomatoes, as well as compaction of the soil during picking.
