Regina　（Cherry tomato）Soil-type hydroponics

* (Because the appropriate germination temperature is 20-30 ° C, it needs to germinate indoors or warmly Yes.)

 

I learned from growing a cherry tomato ...
Surprisingly growing and need a place.
It ’s a veranda farm with limited space,
Is there a cherry tomato that can grow and harvest as small as possible?

(^ ◇ ^) The name is Regina!

The meaning of Regina is queen in Latin and Italian.
Tomato named Queen! I'm looking forward to seeing what tomatoes will grow
So I tried challenging Regina's kitchen garden.

 

I looked at various books, but I couldn't find a book on cultivation about Regina.

, I was in trouble (; ･ `д ･ ´)

Can I grow cherry tomatoes? Well, anyway, let's grow up and see!
So, this time, I decided to grow and see with plastic bottle type hydroponics.

 

 

 

 

February 28, 2017.

Seeds directly in a plastic bottle hydroponic plant. (Click here for how to make PET bottle hydroponics > > Click )

(As of February 28, the outside temperature is around 10 ℃,
so put it in a room with a germination temperature of 20 or more until it sprouts.)

 

On March 20, it took nearly 20 days from sowing seeds to buds.
Since the outside temperature has become close to 15 ℃,
we can raise it outside.

 

April 3
2 weeks after germination,
Real leaves came out.

 

April 8
3 weeks after germination,
Since the true leaves have grown,
we leave only one and thin out the others.

Thinning out (^ ◇ ^)

 

April 22
5 weeks after germination,
It seems that the stem is getting thick and growing well.
(^ ◇ ^)

 

May 4
7 weeks after germination,
A flower bloomed. (I hope the fruit grows as it is)

 

Yup? ?
Ah! Aphids! I didn't notice because the leaves were crowded.
Rinse with water and complete! (^ ◇ ^)
