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 🧀? Blue Waffle F1 — Week 1
📊 Weekly Overview
Week: 1 — Seedling Stage
Height: 4 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 Day3 and again 50ml on 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
Blue Waffle had a good first week and developed steadily without any major issues. After emerging from the substrate roughly 20 hours after planting, the seedling continued to develop normally. The first true leaves expanded well, and the plant reached a height of 4 cm by the end of the week.
The root development also progressed quickly. The taproot was already visible at the bottom of the transparent cup on Day 4, followed by roots appearing along the sides later in the week. Apart from a short reaction to watering from both the top and bottom on Day6, Blue Waffle remained healthy and recovered within a day.
By the end of the week, the upper layer of the substrate had dried while some moisture was still present deeper down. Since the cup still had noticeable weight, watering was delayed rather than keeping the substrate constantly wet.

TurtleInWeed 🧀? Blue Waffle 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: 6.0 cm
🌱 PLANT STATUS
Blue Waffle F1 remained healthy throughout the week and recovered quickly after transplanting. The plant has a noticeably compact and dense structure compared to the other two strains. The leaves have a darker green colour and new growth is developing steadily. Stem thickness also increased after airflow was slightly increased.
🌱 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.
