While the seeds are being prepared for sowing, the boxes treated with boiling water are filled with nutrient soil.

It usually consists of an equal amount compost, peat, river sand and garden soil. Having made grooves in the soil, germinated seeds are placed to a depth of one centimeter. Containers with planting material are placed in a bright place. You can cover the boxes with foil for several days, remembering to ventilate and moisten the seedlings daily. It is important to monitor the room temperature. If at first it should reach at least twenty-two degrees of heat, then after a week it is reduced to seventeen.

If the duration of daylight hours is reduced, then additional illumination using fluorescent lamps is necessary. Seedlings should be illuminated for fifteen hours or more. With the onset of warm sunny days, containers with seedlings are taken out for hardening in the open air, first for an hour or two, gradually increasing the time. Tomatoes for planting in open ground should have a thick, strong stem, developed root system.

Reviews of tomato Orlets F1

Sergey Ivanovich, Novosibirsk
I have been growing tomatoes for a long time. I believe that hybrids are much more viable than ordinary tomato varieties. I especially liked the recently bred variety, Orlets F1. Its peculiarity is massive fruiting, high productivity. The fruits are distinguished by a pronounced tomato flavor and juicy pulp. The seeds are almost not felt inside. With good care, I collect up to thirty to forty kilograms of tomatoes.For those who sell their products, this is the best choice for growing. The presentation of the tomato is beyond praise.

Tomatoes Orlets F1 appeared recently, but my neighbors at the dacha and I appreciated their external qualities and taste. I use them for canning - it's perfect. They ripen early, which is why these tomatoes are good in salads. They are stored for a long time, do not rot. I like the unpretentiousness of the hybrid. You don’t need to stepchild. They manage to mature even in our climate, when the air temperature in July drops to ten degrees Celsius. The variety is best suited for the Siberian region, it gives a large harvest of fruits.

Marina, Krasnoyarsk Territory
In our region, it is difficult to grow tomatoes, picking ripe fruits from bushes. Most often they ripen in boxes. But the Orlets F1 variety gives a crop of even tomatoes, which we feast on right from the bush at the end of July or at the beginning of August. Tomatoes grow in clusters and are stored for a long time. Glossy thin peel, tasty fruit pulp is characteristic of the new selection of the Orlets F1 hybrid. The only thing is, you can't leave seeds for growing next year. But they can be purchased at a specialist store.
