Detailed Explanation of Soil Cultivation Techniques for Giant Pumpkins
I. Seedling Cultivation: 1. Nutrient bag seedling cultivation: Seeds are sown in the greenhouse 6 weeks before planting. Step one: Put the seeds into 60°C hot water and stir for 15 minutes until the water temperature drops to 35°C, then stop and soak for 12 hours. Step two: Put the soaked seeds into a hotbed for germination, which takes 24 hours. During the 12 hours in between, wash the about-to-sprout seeds with 20°C warm water. After 24 hours, the seed coat splits open and a 1cm-long sprout grows. At this point, the nutrient bag seedling cultivation stage begins. To ensure seedling quality, organic fertilizer can be mixed with soil in proportion and placed into nutrient bags. Because the weather was very cold at the time and the temperature was low, 30°C warm water should be used when watering the base water. After the base water is fully watered, place the sprouted seeds into the nutrient bags, about 0.5CM into the soil, then cover with 2CM of fine soil, cover with plastic film, and emergence is expected in one week. By the fifth day, some had already emerged. At this time, the ones that emerged first and those that had not yet emerged should be cultivated separately to facilitate temperature control. Ten days after all seedlings have emerged, carry out low-temperature seedling hardening.
