Strong and healthy seedlings are the key to an excellent harvest.

Therefore, the process of planting seeds for seedlings must be approached responsibly so that young and fragile plants do not stretch out and do not outgrow, otherwise it will not be possible to plant such sprouts in open ground without problems.

First of all, you need to decide on the planting dates, and then plan the dates for transplanting into the garden.

To prevent plants from stretching out and becoming too fragile, they need to be provided with normal lighting and a comfortable temperature.

Gardeners also note that there is one technique that helps prevent seedlings from stretching and overgrowing.

To do this, you need to use a special drug. We are talking about "Athlete".

When growing seedlings, you should also remember about fertilizing. Before picking the plants, it is better not to fertilize the plantings with anything at all.

We must not forget about phosphorus-potassium fertilizers, which have a positive effect on the condition of the roots.

Nitrogen products are also important, but you can't overdo it, because they affect the growth and condition of the green mass. As experts note, nitrogen fertilizers can be given to plants 10 days after transplantation to give a boost to growth.
