PHC-GARDENS Nothing to update, nothing but Rain H20 for the first couple weeks
PHC-GARDENS Using Rain H20 from outdoor gutter catch, this is the best option for H20 for cost and effectiveness. Adding CM + ASi to every feeding, usually every other day. Once per week, depending on how the run-off looks, feeding NHO + RC/TPS alternating weeks.
- I started with 3 Autos & 3 Photos in early February 2026. 1 seedling with no 1st true leaves so 2 Photos & 3 Autos. My mistake was growing too many plants in my 4x4 thinking the Autos wouldn't need much space in 5 gallon fabric pots. I'm well experienced with Photos, inside and outside. I was encouraged to believe not to Top/Lollipop these due to the stress. I really don't believe this now. I understand the benefits to LST but I believe the proper environment will allow even Autos to reach full maturity. I topped them but didn't lollipop like I should have and space becomes my biggest problem. The 3 Autos did good on top. However, the lower buds were a bit airy and not up to my standard. I also added, at this time, the Farmlite 22" bars for supplemental lighting. This will help a lot going forward! I harvested Perminate Marker Auto 1st since it's a quick maturing strain. Then the other two the following 2 weeks, Fat Bastard Auto and Blackberry Moonrocks Auto. My next reset I will grow 2 Photos and 2 Autos to allow space/light. growing BBMR Auto and Permanent Marker Auto again, with full training/topping to show promising results.

PHC-GARDENS Welcome to my PHC-GARDEN(S)
The Ladies, from left to right & back to front:
🌿 Permanent (Marker Auto)
🌿 Fat Bastard (Auto)
🌿 Blackberry Moonrock (Auto)
🌿 Alien 👽 Cookies 🍪 Kush Mints (Photo)
🌿 Stoned Panda 🐼 (Photo)
The first 3 ladies have been harvested! Growing 3 Autos / 2 Photos | The Autos were started first and finished near the lighting switch from 20/4 to 12/12 to start the photos blooming. The next time I reset, I will grow 2 Autos / 2 Photos and reproduce better results for the Autos or both. I have a few clones in my 2x4 that may mess with my next growing schedule.

PHC-GARDENS Alien Cookies + Kush Mints (Photo) | Stoned Panda (Photo)
Both ladies having longer vegs, longer than intended, since the Autos harvesting time pushed back the light switch a few weeks. I had to top ACKM several times more than SP as she wanted to stretch more. I learned not to run more than 4 plants with my grow plans in this tent size. Plans to harvest the Autos after the switch and then let the two photos have the range.

PHC-GARDENS I harvested the Autos, in the back of the tent, opening up more area for the two leading ladies. I prefer to start fresh with 2 Autos, then start the 2 Photos about 4-6 weeks later. I would allow a little longer, if it's your first run at both. I ended up topping more than I desired; the original plan was manifolding. The ladies still have a great canopy and just more flowers. They would've looked better with less but with increased chances of mold. With recent RH% I may have got lucky on the direction. I'll have to adjust the trellis at an angle since I don't have another.

PHC-GARDENS The two ladies are making their selves at home! Alien Cookie Mints & Stoned Panda are two great strains from Blimburn Seeds. ACM is my goto 80/20 Indica/Sativa favorite and I'm hoping SP will be my 50/50 daytime relaxer. They are both known for having awesome uplifting traits when grown correctly.

PHC-GARDENS The two ladies are doing very well, healthy as can be. Once the Autos in the back are done and harvested, the two can own the 4x4! I'll have them diagonal and with another trellis half added. Note: Get another set for next time!

PHC-GARDENS The ladies are in full bliss! They are growing at their peak in this environment. The canopy laying out well, these ladies were topped more than originally planned (Manifolding). This helps keep as many of the flowers as possible in peak PPFD to promote growth. I have clones to run after the ladies' finish and then my next reset with my select 2 Autos and 2 Photos, fully trained with more space and LEDs.

PHC-GARDENS The two ladies are doing absolutely wonderful! I'm currently putting together their media for my youtube.com/@PHC-GARDENS channel! You can also reach it via www.phc-gardens.com at the moment. I'm working on the videos to release my premium organic template (PHC-POT) that's designed around simplifying the growing experience, lowering the number of variables with (nutrients / additives), and dry amendments where possible. Using OMRI Organic products, at the cheapest cost, w/o sacrificing the quality needed for getting premium results. This means we use products that work together and we don't mix hydro w/organics in soil. We keep organics for organic soil and use hydroponic nutrients in DWC or Coco only, if at all possible. Using the right dry or liquid nutrients, living soil, and Organic/Myco friendly booster to achieve easier premium results.
Let's make growing fun, create templates for Organic, Coco, and DWC pebbles. I'm starting with the easiest, & IMO, the best! DWC will grow fast denser buds, but this POT grow recipe gives you the terps of organic and nearly the density of hydro. 😀 Follow me on YT, VivoSun, or GrowDiaries.com, + M2C! 😎

PHC-GARDENS Plant Update: The ladies' leaves are showing their natural senescence with all the beautiful colors showing. They pull nutrients from older leaves to finish up the maturing. We flush excess salts and feed them just straight H20 (Rain H20, RO, or Distilled) for the last couple weeks. 😁
