Super lemon haze

xchdave Week 1 – Seedling Stage (Days 1–7) Both Super Lemon Haze seedlings popped and are settling in well. They were transplanted into 2.5L pots with a super coco and perlite mix, so early growth has been modest as the plants focus on establishing a solid root system. Around day 4, I added a humidifier to bring relative humidity up to 60–70%, creating a much more favorable VPD range for seedlings. Temps have held steady at 23–24°C, and light is set at ~280 PPFD. No signs of stretching or stress, and both seedlings are showing healthy green color. With roots now developing and conditions dialed in, I’m expecting faster above-ground growth heading into week 2

xchdave Super Lemon Haze – Week 2 Update (Day 14) The seedlings are now officially two weeks old, and overall they’re looking healthy and vigorous. 🌱 Growth: Plants have developed several sets of true leaves, with nice serration and good color. The main plant in front has strong structure and compact node spacing. The rear plant is a little more stretched and was drooping slightly earlier in the week but has perked up a bit since adjusting the watering. Both plants are showing good progress in their 2.5L pots. 💧 Watering: Minimal watering this week. No water given in the past two days as pots are still holding moisture well. Monitoring closely to avoid overwatering at this stage. 🌡️ Environment: Temp: ~25°C Humidity: 60–70% PPFD: ~320 Ventilation: AC Infinity T6 running at speed 1; air exchange seems sufficient for current plant size.

xchdave Well we run into a bit of trouble the last two weeks, what I thought was over watering symptoms was actually caused by under watering. This means that by continuing holding off from watering, I made the plants issues worse. By the time I corrected my mistakes the plants were already stunted and showing signs of nutrient deficiency. I continued to struggle with the plants for a week and they did improve. However not as fast as I would have liked. This prompted me to change the entire course for this grow. See I'm normally a coco and synthetic grower. I don't have these problems with coco because coco can be 100% saturated and still have access to adequate air. I was hoping to try my hand at organics this run but given the above issues I decided to revert back to what I know. And well, the plants are back to being healthy, all be it very small for this stage of a grow. It just means we've got a bit of extra veg time before flipping to flower and that's why I love photos over autos. I transplanted to 15L autopots with the 50/50 of coco perlite and feed at 1.0 ec and a pH of 5.8 until runoff. My nutrients of choice are: Yara Kristalon Brown Calcinit Epson salts I've used a few different brands of nutrients in my time and this is by far the most economical solution I've found and dialed in properly gives just as good as results as any name brand nutrient out there. If you're buying bottled nutrient you're paying for water. This set up makes for an easy grow, especially when we add the autopot bases and turn the reservoir on. Anyways thanks for reading my dairy and continuing to follow along, I'll be sure to keep this dairy updated going forward.

xchdave This week marked strong vegetative progress for both Super Lemon Haze plants. The plants were topped successfully, and new growth is coming in fast and healthy. I turned on the Autopot system for both, and they're now being fed from the autopot reservoir mixed at 1.3 EC using my base nutrients (Kristalon Brown, Calcium Nitrate, Epsom). Leaf posture and color are excellent, and they’ve responded well to the increased PPFD (now at 450–520). Growth is symmetrical with tight internode spacing, and the environment is stable with good humidity and airflow. Everything is on track for strong pre-flower structure.

xchdave A pretty good veg week this week, I haven't done much, just letting the autopots do their thing. I did notice what looks to be calcium deficiency yesterday, it's only affected the lemon haze and not my other plants. I checked the pH of the res and it had drifted up to 6.5 so to fix this I made a new res today and pH to 5.7. I will keep checking the pH to make sure it doesn't drift up that high again. I find super lemon haze to be a finicky plant. This is my second time growing it and whatever else I have in the tent just seems to grow better with less complications than it. But it's my wife's favorite smoke and I primarily grow these plants for her so might as well grow what she enjoys. This coming week I plan on training these girls out, scrog net will go in, I'll clean up the lower branches and take some clones, I plan on keeping which ever one is the nicer plant.
