When to sow sweet peppers for seedlings to harvest in boxes: a note for gardeners
The quality of the seedlings will largely depend on how accurately the timing of sowing bell pepper seeds for seedlings is determined.
You can't allow sweet pepper seedlings, like any other, to outgrow before planting.
It is especially dangerous to plant peppers with fruits that are already beginning to form. They sharply reduce the plant's further development and you may not get a large harvest.
How to grow seedlings correctly
Seedlings can be grown with an open root system, they are easy to grow.
However, it should be taken into account that it needs to be sown more and after planting the roots take a long time to take root. Sowing sweet pepper when growing seedlings with an open root system is carried out 45-50 days before the expected planting date.
If you grow seedlings with a closed root system (in cassettes with a cell volume of 180 ml), you can sow 50-55 days before the expected planting date.
When growing peppers in seedling cups with a volume of 350-400 ml, sowing can be carried out 60-65 days before the expected planting date.
