Chem-D Duet

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💚🤘

Hawii_ReLoaded 📆 Week 3 - Day 18 Current Conditions: PPFD: 300-340 (SANlight EVO 4-120 @40%) VPD: 1.2 (Offset 0 degrees C) DLI: 22 Hey Guys 👋 The little girls moved to their final home the 75 liters (20gal) living soil pots. It’s the second cycle in this containers. The roots were looking very healthy and almost filled mainly the small pots. Transplanted them not in the center as there were still the stems of the last plants. Want to disturb the soil life as less as possible therefore I didn’t remove the former stems. Have chosen Chemferno #2 for this run. She showed a pretty vigorously and compact growth. The big leaves indicated a more Indica leaning phenotyp, which I really like and provides some variety to this run as well 😊 Sprinkled some Rootwise Complete around the transplant hole. This will help the plant to reduce their transplant shock 😎🤘 If you’re interested in my living soil recipe, check out one of my last grows Last Dance or Apples & Cherries. On this reports I’ve documented the entire procedure. Decided not to topdress any more nutrients as there are still a lot nutrients contained in the containers, as well in the mulch layer. Planning a topdressing prior before flipping to flower. The plants looking healthy. There will be a explosive growth once they have established a strong root system in the new container. Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned on the next update. Keep growing!!💚✌️

Hawii_ReLoaded 📆 Week 4 - Day 25 Current Conditions: PPFD: 360 (SANlight EVO 4-120 @40%) VPD: 1.2 (Offset 0 degrees C) DLI: 24 Hello Growmies 👋 They have recovered from the transplant stress. The time you safe germinating them in the small pots you could loose later if something goes wrong during transplant. Chem looks great, but Ocean Toxin still struggling. Still takes some time for the roots to spread out to the big container. Ready for takeoff 😁💪 But it’s also good that they are no aggressively jumping up in size to keep the growth under control. Both received some daily LST. Keeping the bigger leaves on and bend down until the plants are stronger. Topping by next week 💪 Maybe the big swing in temperature and humidity caused some issues, but we just lost a few days…what to do😊👌 Distance to the lights was lowered and the lights intensity increased by approx. 10%. Planning to level up every few days🤘 Take care and keep on growing the best plant in the world 💚

Hawii_ReLoaded 📆 Week 5 - Day 32 Current Conditions: PPFD: 450 (SANlight EVO 4-120 @40%) VPD: 1.2 (Offset 0 degrees C) DLI: 26 Heyy Everyone 🤘 Mid week 5 continued with LST to spread the branches wide out to get a even canopy. Both plants looking very healthy, strong and are on the same level. Chemferno was topped, but that didn’t stop her growth. Outstanding performance 💪 Decided not to top Ocean Toxin and instead continue to bend down the main branch. For Chemferno there is not really any training needed, she spreads out by herself and has a very nice bushy structure, which makes it very easy to handle her😁👍 For preventive pest control will use per plant three different species of predator mites. Additionally will sprinkle some Hypoaspis mites on the soil surface within the next week. That will help to keep the fungus gnats population under control and is a great preventive measure in every soil system. Also watering in every few weeks some SF-nematodes. Also slowly reduced the light duration from 18 to 17 hours and since Friday 16 hours of light per day. Planning to flip to 12/12 within the next week. Will do a small defoliation prior before flip. Quite excited what comes up over the next weeks 😊 Getting very interesting stem rubs from both. Chemferno with strong skunky and woody notes. Ocean Toxin is similar with a bit more fruity flavors. That is going to be a great duet of funky odors 🤩 The automatic watering system is working perfectly. Blumat moisture sensor is sitting between 50-110 mBar. Will open the sensors a bit more as the cover crops is taking a lot of water. That pretty much covers week 5 😊🤘 Peace and stay tuned on the next update ✌️ keep growing 🌱🌱

Hawii_ReLoaded 📆 Week 6 - Day 39 Current Conditions: PPFD: 500 (SANlight EVO 4-120 @48%) VPD: 1.2 (Offset 0 degrees C) DLI: 29 Hey Guys ✌️ It will be the last day of veg. This week continued with LST to spread the branches wide out to get a even canopy. Installed a trellis net that every single branch gets her space for the upcoming stretch. Defoliation was done 4 days ago. Also cleaned up their legs. Always good to have a few days in between to the switch, that they can recover from the stress. Heavy defoliation with lollipopping will be done in the third week of flower on day 21. For preventive pest control used per plant three different species of predator mites. Additionally sprinkled some Hypoaspis mites on the soil surface. Will start the flowering cycle and flip to 12/12 by tomorrow. Quite excited what comes up over the next weeks 😊 Currently the reading on the Blumat moisture sensor is between 50-90 mBar. During watering the sensor is approx. at 40 mbar, but this will settle after a few hours. A growmie was asking me in a PM if my soil is too wet with Blumat readings around 50-70 mbar. Well the answer to that really depends on the aeration rate contained in the soil mix. With aeration I‘m talking about the percentage of used pumice, rice husks or perlite etc. There is ready to use living soil mixes on the market like Florganics or Couple of Plants which use no or a very low percentage rate in their soils. Therefore it’s recommended to use a higher mbar value of around 100-130 mbar. My living soil mix contains a aeration percentage of 35% with pumice and rice husks. In this way I can keep the moisture level higher without the risk of overwatering. Specifically if the plants are already that big and taking up a lot of water. At the beginning when they are smaller it’s recommended to keep it a bit drier. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and stay tuned on the next update 💚✌️ Peace!!

Hawii_ReLoaded 📆 Week 7 - Day 46 - Day 7 Flower Current Conditions: PPFD: 650 (SANlight EVO 4-120 @60%) VPD: 1.2 (Offset 0 degrees C) DLI: 28 Hey Growmies 🤘✌️ This week a day too late with the update. Took some pictures yesterday, but unfortunately had no time to create the report. However we’re in week 7 and day 7 of flower. They’re in transit to start flowering. There is already some pre-flower pistils showing up🤩 Chemferno is a beast and grows so healthy and strong. Great genetics! But Ocean Toxin is right behind and on the same level. Looks great as well. Both doubled in height in a week since flipping them to 12/12, but I‘ve more than enough space still left so it should be fine. Except both will stretch significantly more during the next two weeks. Up to now they’re stacking in a pretty good way😎👍 Chopped and dropped already some of the cover crops in the front. Remaining will be chopped within the next week and planning to do a topdressing along with a compost mix. The worms and the ladies will love it 💚 So we‘re cruising into the most beautiful time of the grow😁🤘 Enjoy the pictures and stay tuned on the next update ✌️
