TurtleInWeed š¤ Before We Start
This grow is part of a cooperation with Zamnesia.
Iāll be growing and documenting three different Zamnesia F1 Hybrids in separate diaries: Blue Waffle F1, Lemon Cherry Gelato F1 and Pickled Lemon Haze F1.
Iāll be documenting the grow from seed to harvest and sharing my own observations along the way.

š± GERMINATION ā DAY 0ā2
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 ššæ Pickled Lemon Haze F1 ā Week 1
š Weekly Overview
Week: 1 ā Seedling Stage
Height: 4.8 cm
Light: FC4000-EVO ā 24% at 48 cm
Light Schedule: 18/6
Temperature / RH: 25°C / 51% lights on ā 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
š± Plant Status
Pickled Lemon Haze had a solid first week and was the tallest of the three seedlings at 4.8 cm by the end of the week. After emerging from the substrate, it continued to develop steadily and showed no obvious issues.
The plant remained healthy, with normal colour and clean leaf development. While PLH was slightly ahead in height, the three seedlings were otherwise developing at a fairly similar pace.
The root system also progressed quickly. The taproot was already visible at the bottom of the cup on Day 4, followed by roots appearing along the sides a few days later. On Day6 the plant briefly reacted to watering from both the top and bottom but recovered within a day.
By the end of the week, the surface of the substrate had dried while moisture remained deeper in the cup. Since there was still noticeable weight, watering was postponed rather than keeping the root zone constantly wet.

TurtleInWeed ššæ Pickled Lemon Haze F1 ā WEEK 2
š 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: 54ā61%
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: 8.5 cm
š± PLANT STATUS
Pickled Lemon Haze F1 was the tallest and most developed plant of the three by the end of Week 2. It continued to build substantial leaf mass and developed a broad, open structure. The foliage is slightly lighter green than BW. After transplanting, the plant recovered within one day and continued producing new growth without visible issues.
š± Transplant & Soil Preparation ā 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 š WEEKLY OVERVIEW ā Flower Week 3
- Plant height: 40 cm
- Light: Mars Hydro FC4000 EVO ā 320W
- Light schedule: 12/12
- Light distance: Approx. 50 cm
- Light intensity: 70%
- Day climate: 25ā26°C, 48ā52% RH
- Night climate: 21ā22°C, 55ā58% RH
- Watering: 1L Bactrex + Orgatrex solution per plant, following an initial 500ml of water
- Defoliation: Day 52 ā several fan leaves removed
- Training: No further training planned
š± PLANT STATUS
Pickled Lemon Haze F1 continues stretching and developing flowering sites across its branches. The plant has a more elongated growth structure, with several taller tops standing out above the surrounding foliage. Its current height is 40 cm.
On Day 52, several fan leaves were removed to open up the canopy and improve light penetration.
Fresh white pistils are visible at the flowering sites, while the buds are still in their early development stage. The leaves appear generally healthy in the latest pictures, with no obvious signs of severe deficiencies.
The next stage will be about observing how the stretch progresses and allowing the flowers to develop without further unnecessary interventions.

TurtleInWeed š WEEKLY OVERVIEW ā Flower Week 4
Plant height: 43 cm (elevated to level canopy height)
Light: Mars Hydro FC4000 EVO ā 320W
Light schedule: 12/12
Light distance: Approx. 50 cm to canopy
Light intensity: 70ā75%
Day climate: 23ā25°C, 48ā55% RH
Night climate: 20°C, 50ā58% RH
Watering: 2L/plant (Day 58), 500ml 25h-bubbled Compost Tea + 500ml dechlorinated tap water (Day 62)
Training: Raised slightly on a wooden riser to match canopy height.
šæ PLANT STATUS
Pickled Lemon Haze F1 remains compact and tight in the middle at 43 cm. To ensure she gets optimal PAR coverage alongside her taller sisters, I elevated her pot slightly with a small wooden riser.
She drank 2L on Day 58 and was fed with 500ml compost tea (bubbled for 25h with an aquarium air stone) + 500ml tap water on Day 62. Day 63 was nice and calm, with temperatures holding at 23ā25°C (20°C night) and humidity at 48ā55%. White pistils are multiplying fast, and trichome coverage is exploding all over the flower sites!
