Frequently asked questions(5)
The 'Babushkin Gostinets' variety is mid-season, so sow in late February to early March (50-60 days before planting in soil). In southern regions, sow in late January; in northern regions, in early March.
Transplant seedlings in late May to early June (when the danger of frost has passed and soil has warmed to 15-18°C). Plants should have 6-8 true leaves and be 15-20 cm tall.
Remove side shoots (suckers) weekly when they reach 5-7 cm. Keep only the main stem and one sucker below the first cluster as backup. Removing suckers improves fruit set and fruit size.
Ensure good ventilation, avoid wetting leaves when watering, remove lower leaves as the plant grows, mulch the soil. Spray preventively with copper-based products (Bordeaux mixture) starting in late July.
In the early stages, use a complex fertilizer with equal NPK content. Once flowers appear, switch to fertilizers with higher phosphorus and potassium (e.g., potassium nitrate). Feed once every 2 weeks.
