Ph_cubed First diary. Here to record this for me but figured others might want to know how Ricky’s Hash Plant turns out. Hopefully I finish this journal…
Day 0. Friday. 9/8/25.
Soil mix is about 50/30/20 of dirt, worm castings, and a coco/perlite blend I used for my hydro grows. This is my first real dirt grow. I have previously used dirt for outdoor and auto grows.
Soil has been topped up with a little Gaia Green All Purpose 4-4-4 and Power Bloom 2-8-4. Xtreme Gardening myco in the blend with a little drop in the seed pit before planting. Once the roots establish, add some Future Harvest Prop-o-gator. Following directions on the packages, numbers on here not 100%.
Seeds were planted Sunday (Aug 4/25). RHP seeds were all small and pale. I was honestly not sure if they would pop. They all did but sprouts are slow to start and cotlyhedons are super tiny. The WW clone is doing well. The fire cookie seed was started a week earlier. The other sprouted seedlings are in-house seeds from a White Wedding RBX crossed with Galactic Runtz. They were planted the same day as RHP. They are all standing tall and strong (GR grows big dense nugs on really lanky limbs, it really stretches right from seed). We’ll call this strain galactic wedding. Anyway, the fire cookies and galactic wedding are for a different project.

Ph_cubed I like to consider the first couple weeks to be still germinating, the site does not allow for that. So, the vegetation process begins.
Plants have first leaves, about to stretch out second node. Put another milk crate in instead of lowering the light. Easier on my back. They are a little close at 15” but seem to enjoy it.
Started bottom feeding, using propagator. They were just getting water from a dropper, don’t want to drown anyone. The plants will get another feeding with propa before we change the formula. They also got a top up with worm castings. I am re-using old dirt so I want to make sure it has enough nutes to support the plant.
Some of the other plants going might end up in another diary, some might be given to friends. Not sure yet so documenting them all here.
The RHP are all quite short. Other diaries show more normal sized plants. I am worried I got some runts but time will tell.
WW RBX is doing good. Clone is starting to show new growth. I have grown it before. It puts out a lot of bud sites. Extremely citrus/lime flavoured.

Ph_cubed Fri 22/8/25 - Day 14
Veg week 2. (I still consider this germ/seedling, pre veg, but house rules.)
Last week of feeding propagator, will feed a new mix next feeding onward as they turn into real plants. Feeding primarily from bottom. I still give the odd top drop so the plants are not starving as they stretch down low. Trying to keep top dry.
The plants are also getting foliar spray of General Hydroponics Armor Si now that we have a couple sets of leaves (surprised the brand isn’t on here…). Will spray every few days, eventually stopping foliar in favour of putting it in the reservoir
Dealing with a fungal gnat infection (entirely due to my own poor choices). Since the plants are still so small I am using some Last Crawl (diatomaceous earth), you can see it covering the soil. It is safe for you and the plants, not for the gnats. It is beneficial to your soil drainage as well although it does dry things out. If the girls were bigger, I would use some nematodes but those require keeping the plants wet for three days. I am worried about drowning the plants at this size. I also use some Sticky Stiks to help.
Lastly, I did give a couple tablespoons of worm castings top dress to each plant. Cotlyedons are all still looking green. Should be good for another week or two before I transfer and feed.

Ph_cubed 30/8/25 - Day 22
Veg week 3 (I would consider this to be week one. We got actual plants now, they’re past the seedling stage.)
Moved the girls to my big tent now that the last crop has been harvested. Everything is looking healthy and green. Steady growth, bigger leaves. The Spder Farmer G8600 was slowly turned up once they came in, up to 50% power. It will stay here through veg. I will lower the light to 16” over several days, currently at 23”.
Gave them a little top dress of Gaia Green All Purpose and Kelp Meal, plus some worm castings. Still down feeding exclusively. Put Cal Mag and Planticillin in the reservoir. Armor Si is currently a foliar but will probably add to reservoir soon. Using manufacturer recommendations, numbers on here are rubbish.
The diatomaceous earth worked great on the gnats. They appear to be gone, knock on wood. Had to prune a couple leaves from the RBX clones. Mostly just waiting at this point.
The wait continues…
