TurtleInWeed 🤝 Before We Start This grow is part of a cooperation with Zamnesia. I’ll be growing and documenting three different Zamnesia F1 Hybrids in separate diaries: Blue Waffle F1, Lemon Cherry Gelato F1 and Pickled Lemon Haze F1. I’ll be documenting the grow from seed to harvest and sharing my own observations along the way. Thanks to Zamnesia for making this project possible. Now, let’s get started. 🌱 Use code ZAMMIGROW2024 for 20% off at Zamnesia 🌱 GERMINATION — DAY 0–2 The seeds were started in a small propagator. After around 20 hours, the first taproot appeared. By 48 hours, all three had developed strong roots and started to grow slightly into the cotton pad. I carefully separated the cotton and freed the roots without pulling on them. They were then planted into labelled 500 ml cups with 90% BioBizz Light-Mix and 10% perlite. RootMax was mixed into the upper layer of the substrate and added to the planting holes before the seeds were lightly moistened.

TurtleInWeed 🍒🍋 Lemon Cherry Gelato F1 — Week 1 📊 Weekly Overview Week: 1 — Seedling Stage Height: 3.5 cm Light: FC4000-EVO — 24% at 48 cm Light Schedule: 18/6 Temperature / RH: 25°C / 51% lights on — 23°C / 55% lights off Watering: 50ml on Day 3 and again 50ml Day6 Substrate: 90% BioBizz Light-Mix / 10% Perlite Root development: Taproot visible at the bottom from Day 4, roots visible along the sides a few days later Notes: Briefly drooped after watering from both the top and bottom, but recovered within a day 🌱 Plant Status Lemon Cherry Gelato had a smooth first week and developed without any visible problems. After breaking through the substrate, the seedling remained compact and continued to develop its first true leaves throughout the week. At 3.5 cm, LCG was the smallest of the three by the end of the week, but there were no signs of weakness or developmental problems. The plant looked healthy, with good colour and normal leaf development. Root development progressed well, with the taproot visible at the bottom of the cup from Day 4 and additional roots appearing at the sides later in the week. On Day6 the plant briefly drooped after watering from both the top and bottom but recovered within around one day. By the end of the week, the surface of the substrate had dried while moisture remained deeper down. Since the cup still had some weight, watering was delayed.

TurtleInWeed 🍒🍋 Lemon Cherry Gelato F1 — WEEK 2 📊 WEEKLY OVERVIEW Week: 2 Light: Mars Hydro FC4000 EVO, 320W Light schedule: 18/6 Light distance: 48 cm Light power: 30% Temperature: up to 26°C Humidity: 54–61% Watering: 80 ml before transplant, with slight runoff Substrate: 16 L Light-Mix + 2 L worm castings + 2 L perlite Pot: 20 L fabric pot Transplant: 31.08. End height: 7.5 cm 🌱 PLANT STATUS Lemon Cherry Gelato F1 continued to build leaf mass throughout the week. After transplanting, the plant stood upright again within one day and continued growing without visible issues. The plant is currently developing a broad structure with good new growth and is slightly behind PLH in overall size. 🌱 Transplant & Soil Preparation — Week 2 The 20 L pots were prepared with: 16 L BioBizz Light-Mix 2 L worm castings 2 L perlite 80 g Startrex per pot 5 g Mycotrex distributed through the upper half of the pot 2 g additional Mycotrex directly in the planting hole 4 BioTabs per pot For the first watering after transplanting, Orgatrex and Bactrex were added according to the planned mix. The transplant itself was somewhat difficult due to the loose substrate in the 500 ml cups, but all three plants recovered quickly and were standing upright again the following day. Week 2 finished with a clear difference in structure: PLH is currently the most open and largest, LCG is close behind with good leaf mass, while BW remains distinctly compact. No visible problems were observed in any of the three plants.

TurtleInWeed 📊 WEEKLY OVERVIEW – Flower Week 3 - Plant height: 44 cm - Light: Mars Hydro FC4000 EVO – 320W - Light schedule: 12/12 - Light distance: Approx. 50 cm - Light intensity: 70% - Day climate: 25–26°C, 48–52% RH - Night climate: 21–22°C, 55–58% RH - Watering: 1L Bactrex + Orgatrex solution per plant, following an initial 500ml of water - Defoliation: Day 52 – 3 fan leaves removed - Training: No further training planned 🌱 PLANT STATUS Lemon Cherry Gelato F1 continues developing multiple flowering sites throughout its canopy. Fresh white pistils are visible at the tops, and the plant has continued stretching to a height of 44 cm. On Day 52, only three fan leaves were removed, making this a relatively light defoliation. The foliage appears generally healthy in the latest pictures. The plant maintains a broad, open branching structure, with several clearly visible tops developing at different heights. The plan is to leave the plant undisturbed and allow it to focus on flower development over the coming weeks.
