Planting and caring for 6 Punto 7 F1 tomatoes. When choosing a sowing date, consider the expected age of the tomato seedlings at the time of planting. Since this is a low-growing variety, the optimal age is approximately 1.5 months. In central and central Russia, greenhouse tomato planting occurs in the third ten days of May, and in open ground in early June.

Therefore, it is necessary to sow tomatoes in March. According to the lunar calendar, the optimal dates for March 2025 are the 21st, 25th, and 26th.

Plant the seeds in loose, light soil. You can purchase a ready-made mixture or prepare your own (a bucket of fertile soil, a cup of ash, chalk, or lime, 1/3 bucket of sand, a bucket of cow manure, sawdust, or peat, and 1 tablespoon of complex mineral fertilizer).

The soil should be disinfected against various pests and diseases. To do this, the seeds should be soaked in a 1% solution of potassium permanganate (manganese) 24 hours before the intended planting date.

Sow seeds at a depth of 1.5–2 cm. To keep the seeds warm, cover the containers with plastic wrap or glass and place them in a south-facing window, providing warmth. Light exposure can be limited. The optimal temperature for seed germination is 21°C (70°F). Once the seedlings emerge, remove the plastic wrap or glass, and place the seedlings in a sunny location.

After 2-3 leaves appear on the seedlings, the seedlings are pricked out.
When planting in the ground, it is necessary to take into account the distance between seedlings - 50x40 cm.
Tomatoes should be watered with warm water in the evening. They also require frequent loosening and about four fertilizing sessions per season.
