Cherry Bacio – Crimson Bloom

Izukasi Here we go again. To be honest, I’ve really been looking forward to this. The three Cherry Bacios have successfully germinated and been transplanted into the substrate. Now it’s a matter of keeping a close eye on the babys and waiting! Edit 2days after transplant : they seem to grow very nicely they are round about 5-6 cm long rn i keep them in plasttic cups that cover them for the extra rh%. But like every time... Waiting👌 Edit 8 days after: So I haven't really done much other than water them once. I did notice, however, that they’ve become a bit long, so I made a wire support for them to keep them growing straight up; for now, it's just a case of watching and waiting. I'll keep you posted

Izukasi In my opinion, the little Cherry Bacios are growing a bit slowly.? I think I caused that myself with low humidity during the early seedling stage, though; still, I’ve started fertilizing them, and they seem to really like it... now it’s just a matter of waiting and watching the little ones grow.😁? Edit : 4 days after they’ve grown really well, and I’ve started fertilizing with Plagron—they seem to like that, too. Every morning when I open the tent, it feels like there are three new plants in there xD I’ll keep you posted—stay well. 😌?

Izukasi So, the plants just keep growing day by day, and I think I’ll transplant them into 14-liter pots sometime next week—or within the next five days. Until then, I’ll just keep an eye on them. Edit : 3 days after last update, I think I can repot them in a day or two; they’re growing every day and look much healthier compared to when I started.

Izukasi They’re continuing to grow steadily,I’m actually still unsure about when to repot... since I want to start LST and topping once I do, I want the plant to be in peak condition when it goes into its final pot. I’ll keep an eye on them over the next few days and repot based on feel. Until then, it’s just a matter of waiting patiently xD

Izukasi Today marked the first milestone for the Cherry Bacios: they were transplanted into their final 14-liter pots and given a good watering. Now it’s time to let the ladies rest for 2–3 days before I start LST and topping so, for now, it’s back to being patient! 4 Days after transplant : I decided to top them today—I think they're settling in well in the new pots and will handle the topping best right now—but I only topped two-thirds of them because the one at the back right is lagging slightly behind the others; I'll get to that one in a day or two. Once the ladies have recovered, I'll start LST; until then, it's just a matter of watching and waiting.😅

Izukasi After topping the two ladies, they recovered very quickly and have already further developed their new main shoots; so far, for LST, I’ve just bent down a few leaves and tried to ensure each shoot gets equal light, since I can't really tie them down much yet. However, the plant at the back right is still lagging a bit behind the others, I’m going to wait a little longer before topping that one too.🙂‍↕️ 3 Days after: I topped all 3 plants and They are recovering and continuing to grow steadily, the only thing I’ve noticed is that the plant at the back left is curling its leaves upwards ?. However, I have to mention that peak temperatures in the tent reached 33°C, and since I have—in all likelihood—the worst non-oscillating fan, a microclimate probably formed around that specific plant. As a countermeasure, I hung the fan higher so that the airflow reaches everywhere, and I also raised the light to a height of 60 cm.😁

Izukasi It’s the start of week 7, and I’m very happy with the strong growth so far, I tuck the leaves back several times a day and tighten or adjust the LST wires as needed. I think I’ll keep them in the vegetative stage for another 2–3 weeks before switching them to flower—until then, it’s all about enjoying the growth of our sweet ladies.🤩? 2 Days after last update : They just keep growing and growing; I’m really not used to such vigorous growth, since I’ve only ever grown two autoflowers before. I’m massaging the new main shoots at the tips so I can bend them down and keep the canopy even, I’ve now attached LST clips to all three plants to hold the main shoots down low hopefully, that’ll make the canopy look even cleaner.
