My Sweet 100: Day 56

As expected, the first cherry tomato plant has reached the second ring
from the bottom while late comer has reached the first ring.

The branches have extended quite a lot to receive more sunlight. The
stems have gotten a lot thicker as well.

Today, I turned the first pot by 180 degrees to balance out the
"bending towards the sun" effect.

My Sweet 100: Day 49

The first plant has grown a lot in the past week. Really impressive. It has reached the height where the first circle of the cage is. There is also a lot of little hairs on the stem and the branches. Suckers have emerged as well. I plucked some of them off.

The second one is not bad either. Half of its stem is buried in soil. I expect its root system will be even stronger than the first one's.

I look forward to some fruits in three weeks's time.

My Sweet 100: Day 42

I transplanted the second candidate to a bigger pot in the morning.

Right after the transplant, it was lying flat on the soil as if it was dead. But after a few hours it started to get back up. Be strong! My sweet 100. Grow faster!

I am looking forward to getting some fruits in a month's time. It looks unlikely. But I have moved the plants slightly towards the sun. I hope the strong sun and the fertile soil will take the plants to exponential growth.

P.S.: I put a slice of garlic in each of the two pots. If they grow, I get to eat fresh garlics in future. Even if the garlics don't grow, they can fend off bugs and insects by their strong smell.

My Sweet 100: Day 41

Many leaves have emerged. But their size has a lot of room for growth.

I will transplant another one to a bigger pot tomorrow.

My Sweet 100: Day 37

The leaves have gotten much bigger. But the plants are still smaller
and shorter than they should be. I am worried that they are not
getting enough sunlight.

My Sweet 100: Day 31

The seedling has grown faster since the transplant. I think it's mainly due to the soil. The potting soil is much more fertile than the incubating one.

Furthermore, the bigger container provides more room for the root system to grow and extend. As the root system gets bigger, it absorbs nutrients more easily.

The ultra hot and sunny weather is also an important factor.
