HomeToGrow Hey,
There's not much to see, but this week we're going straight into the next round. This time, the Lemon Z from Dutch Passion is coming into the tent; I actually wanted to put this strain in the tent in 2024, so I'm catching up now and I'm really excited about the journey and hopefully a lot of Z terps at the end. Both seeds germinated after about 48 hours, but in the end, only one of them will find its way into the tent. I could have waited another day to plant, but since the other variety has already developed significantly longer taproots and I wanted to transplant both at the same time, it happened today.

HomeToGrow Hey,
Despite successfully germinating both seeds, only 1 plant ended up growing. The other one seems to have stopped growing after being planted.
The Lemon Z looks good and is now forming its 2nd set of leaves, but the growth could be a bit faster. I think this has a lot to do with the weather; right now, it's consistently over 27 °C with a humidity level between 35 and 50%, so it's far from optimal at this early stage. I think growth will pick up in the coming weeks.

HomeToGrow Hey,
The 2nd week of flowering is done, and the growth is really picking up now, soon it will be time for the final pot. So far, I'm really liking the Lemon Z, it's growing well and the internode spacing doesn't seem too short or too long, hopefully allowing for good training. The first side branches are also starting to sprout and can be trained soon. You can slightly see a CalMag issue, which is probably due to insufficient buffering when soaking the coconut block. To counteract this, I've now increased the CalMag content, so the problem should be resolved quickly.

HomeToGrow Hello,
The remaining Lemon Z is developing just as well as the Tiger Style, but is still about 2 to 3 days behind in its growth. With the Lemon Z, I didn't have to choose between several plants, but I still believe the pheno fits well in the tent, as the internode distances are medium-sized and the side shoots are also growing well. The Lemon Z was transplanted on Tuesday into a 3.5 l pot with Coco/Perlite with a mixture of 85/15 (unfortunately, I ran out of Perlite and due to a vacation, the repotting couldn't wait any longer. 2 days after the vacation and at the end of the 3rd veg week, the Lemon Z was topped and can soon be scrogged to allow for a more even distribution of the shoots. For the top light, the side lighting with the Ionbeam S11 (about 12 W) would also be switched on to illuminate the area more evenly and slightly increase the blue component.
I expect a maximum of 2 weeks of veg before it goes into flowering, which hopefully rewards me with good buds.
@HippyHemulen, Many thanks I'm quiet excited to see how the Lemon Z will perform. Sadly only one of the two seeds actually emerged after planting the other one looks like it stalled after germination.
