The planting depth of Yamal tomato seeds is, as a rule, about 1 cm. The row spacing should be about 3 cm. And in the rows, a distance of 1 cm should be observed. After sowing, cover the container with polyethylene and take it to a warm room. Keep the containers there until the first shoots appear. After the seeds have hatched, the polyethylene is removed. And the plants need to be placed in a well-lit place. In this case, it is necessary to observe a certain temperature regime. At night it should be about +13 degrees. And in the afternoon about +16 +18 degrees.
