Home Momotarou EX (soil hydroponics)

Mini tomatoes are made every year and are delicious.
I didn't make big tomatoes.
(I had made it by hydroponics halfway before, but it didn't turn red (´ ・ ω ・｀))

So, I would like to grow large tomatoes with revenge.

This time, I will try to grow it with Soil type hydroponics, which has a track record of growing cherry tomatoes (* ´ω ｀ *))
First of all, go to a nearby home improvement store to find a variety that looks delicious!
Most of the large tomato varieties were Momotaro.
Hmm, what should I do (´ ・ ω ・｀)

Yup? !! Momotaro EX! Something cool!
When I read the explanation, it seems that the variety has enhanced disease resistance.
(*'ω' *) Alright! Let's grow this Momotaro EX!

April 6, 2019
I would like to grow Momotaro EX by soil hydroponics. ('ω') No

The optimum temperature for germination of Momotaro EX is 28 ℃ during the day (20-22 ℃ at night)
It is written in the explanation that the optimum temperature for growth is 15 to 25 ° C.
The average temperature in April in Kanto in 2019 is 13.6 ℃ ・・・
It's a little cold, so I'll try to grow it indoors until it germinates.

14 days after sowing,

It seems that the germination was a little late, probably because the temperature was low.
It was indoors, so it's a thin and weak seedling, but I wonder if it's okay.
I'm a little worried. (´ ・ ω ・｀)

22 days after sowing

Is it because I went out and was exposed to the sun?
The true leaves have grown and the stems have become firm. (*'ω' *)

38 days after sowing, it was May.
(In May 2019, the average temperature in Kanto was 20 ℃.) .

As my height has grown and the temperature has risen, I will move it to a large bowl (No. 12).

To prevent aphids , I put up an aluminum sheet that I bought at 100%, and
at the beginning, I grow it with a single support.
(Three struts will be added around when it gets bigger)
