Everyone knows that any attempt to grow a crop of vegetables or fruits as quickly as possible somehow affects the taste.

And if we talk about tomatoes, then in this case they grow tasteless, hard and watery. But what to do if you need to speed up ripening?

For this case, summer residents have their own secrets that do not harm either vegetables or health, and the tomatoes themselves ripen faster on the bushes and only become tastier.

When do tomatoes ripen?

This starts about 6-8 weeks after pollination. Only cherry tomatoes ripen faster.

It is necessary to think about accelerating ripening due to the threat of late blight or with the approach of autumn.

How to speed up the process

Potassium monophosphate has a positive effect on the development of tomatoes.

Summer residents will need to take 15 grams of this substance per bucket of clean and settled water.

Consumption: one bucket of fertilizer per four tomato bushes.

How to contribute

The fertilizer should be used separately from magnesium and calcium fertilizers. These compounds are incompatible and can cause harm.

Otherwise, there shouldn't be any problems.
