Sowing and germination

Seeds are pre-soaked in warm water for 3-4 hours, washed with running water and sown in a loose, well-drained mixture, sprinkled with a thin layer of soil, moistened with a spray bottle, covered with film and germinated in the light, but not in the sun at a temperature of 23-32°C. If there is insufficient lighting, the sprouts may be thin and weak. The seedlings need ventilation. It is necessary to avoid waterlogging and drying out of crops. Under favorable conditions, seedlings appear in 4-8 weeks. There is another germination option, quite extreme, in which you can get seedlings in 2-4 days. The seeds are soaked in a thermos for a day, after which they are sown superficially on a substrate moistened with a spray bottle. Cover with film and place in a warm, bright place.
