Hawii_ReLoaded Hi Growmies and welcome 🤘😊 Happy New Year to everyone!! As the grow in my bigger tent is slowly coming to an end soon it’s time to set up the first new round in 2026😎 It’s the return of the legendary Chem-D. Old school, but with a modern twist. One time crossed with Ocean Fruit and the second with Banana Butter Cups. More details on this cultivars will follow with the next update 🤘 The journey started yesterday. The seeds will be germinated in a glass of water. Dechlorinated and filtered tap water. No PH-ing. Once there is a good sized tap root visible they will be moved into the seedling pots. Germination will be done in an thermo box with an heating mat set at approx. 22-23 degrees C. Kept a little spacer in between that the seeds don’t have a direct contact to the heating source. This round will change a small detail. From every cultivar two seeds will be germinated. Before transplanting into the final containers I‘ll choose the best developed plants. Sounds wasteful, but the time is too short for poor phenotypes. The next update will hopefully include the sprouted seedlings😁✌️ Let the journey begin 😊 Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned on the next update 💚🌱

Hawii_ReLoaded 📆 Week 1 - Day 4 Current Conditions: PPFD: 250-280 (SANlight Stixx @60%) VPD: 0.6-0.7 (Offset 0 degrees C) Hey Growmies 🤘 All seedlings successfully sprouted. Will start counting the days on this diary once all have broken through the soil surface. Chemfernos germinated after 48 hours. Ocean Toxins took a day longer. So the both Chems are one day ahead. Took another 24 hours after transplant until all of them have broken through the soil surface. Used a humidity dome for the first two days to keep the humidity high. Also the lights were on for 24 hours that the seedlings immediately receive light. Tried this time another new seedling soil recipe. Living Soil Light version 😊 Seedling soil: 65% BioBizz Light Mix 20% Wormcastings 5% Premium Compost 7.5% Perlite 2.5% Biochar Added to the total soil volume of 6 liters: Basalt, Gypsum, Spirulina, Malted Barley and Kelp meal (1- teaspoon of each amendment) The kelp and spirulina should support with the root development as there are a lot of growth hormones contained. Watered in with 5% of total soil volume with filtered and dechlorinated tap water. No PH adjustment. This activates the soil microbes and the soil gets alive🤘 Prepared pots were sitting for almost 10 days at room temperature before the sprouted seeds were transplanted. Sprinkled Rootwise Complete around each seed during the transplant. All looking good except a single Ocean Toxin. She has three seed leaves which is a sign for a mutation. It’s a very rare mutation and maybe this will turn into a normal growth behavior. However will still keep her around but likely will choose the other Ocean Toxin for this grow. I’m happy that I‘ve germinated another seed for not running into such a conflict what came up now. Once dry to the touch, I’m watering in small doses (50ml) that the roots actively searching for moisture and without the risk of overwatering the medium. Specially in this stage it’s a high potential risk and slowing down the growth. Stay tuned on the next update and keep growing💚🤘

Hawii_ReLoaded 📆 Week 2 - Day 11 Current Conditions: PPFD: 250-280 (SANlight Stixx @60%) VPD: 0.7-0.8 (Offset 0 degrees C) DLI: 18 Hey Growmies 👋 The little girls looking great and developing pretty vigorously. The both Chemfernos are one day ahead and are slightly bigger than Ocean Toxins. Chems showing some typical Indica leaves structure which I really like. The OT mutant also has some bigger leaves, but I‘ve decided to remove this plant due to her leaf mutation. The other Ocean Toxin looks like more hybrid, which provides hopefully more variety to the tent😁💪 Not yet sure which of the both Chemfernos I will keep around. However one plant will be gifted to a friend 😉 Still watering in small doses (75ml) to avoid the risk of overwatering the medium. They really like this small doses and not stopping their growth. Once per week soil drenched some goodies with coconut water powder, FPE Comfrey and Horsetail, Aloe vera powder, Rootwise Complete and Enzymes. Watered in with some wetting agent to spread the moisture evenly throughout the soil 🍀 Following short details on the both genetics: Ocean Toxin (Chem D x Ocean Fruit) • Terps: Rotten, Chemical, Gas, Mixed Fruit • Flowering: 63-68 Days • Vibe: The classic rancid Chem D funk melded with the tropical, gas, and berry notes of Ocean Fruit. A fruitier kind of foul Chemferno (Chem D x Banana Butter Cups (BBC)) • Terps: Diesel, Rotten Funk, Gas, Burnt Rubber • Flowering: 63-65 Days Expected Phenotypes: Two main expressions 1. Chem-Forward Phenos - Pungent diesel, burnt rubber, and that classic Chem D funk with a sour, rotten edge 2. Banana-Forward Phenos - Skunky, woody, chocolatey notes from BBC layered with gassy, chemical undertones I’m excited and probably moving the plants to the bigger tent by next week. In the meantime cleaning the tent and changing the activated carbon filter. Also will prepare the both 75 liters (20gal) living soil containers for their second cycle and sow some new cover crops seeds. As there are still a lot of nutrients in the mulch layer and the containers left will probably just do a topdressing prior before flipping to flower. Stay tuned on the next update and keep growing💚🤘
