Growing features
Despite the fact that Hurricane F1 cabbage is quite resistant to low temperatures and is intended for open ground, it is better to grow it in seedlings. It is possible to grow vegetables outdoors in the southern regions of the country. If spring frosts are planned, then it is better to cover the plantings with foil. When grown in seedlings, the plants are planted in the ground in mid-May. By this time, the plants should have at least 4 leaves, and their height should vary from 15 to 20 cm.
This hybrid needs nutrient soils. Therefore, it is advisable to apply organic fertilizers to the soil in the fall. We apply mineral fertilizers to the soil only if its composition is known. The garden culture does not grow well on soils with a high nitrogen content.
21 days after planting the seedlings in the ground, the plants need to be spud. We repeat this procedure after another 10 days.
Care
Strengthened plants have a strong root system, which makes planting easier to care for. Cabbage needs to be watered in a timely manner, loosen the soil and remove weeds. The plant easily tolerates the lack of the required amount of moisture. But, with insufficient watering, heads of medium and small sizes are formed, which negatively affects the yield.
It is advisable to water the vegetable crop in the evening. We loosen the soil the next morning after watering.If the weather is sunny, then we water at least 1 time in 3 days. On cloudy days, it is enough to water Hurricane F1 cabbage once every 5 days.
Despite the fact that Hurricane F1 is a hybrid variety, it is advisable to do at least one preventive treatment for the most common diseases. For pest control, you can use marigolds, garlic, lavender and other plants, the smell of which repels harmful insects.
