🌱 The pH Gratitude & Growth • 420 Swag‑Stravaganza🌱

[Deebs]

Celebrating community, growth, and the journey we share with the plant

420 isn’t just a date on the calendar, it’s a reminder of why this community exists in the first place. We grow together, we learn together, and we carry the stories of this plant through every success, every setback, and every lesson that shaped us along the way.

This year’s pHenohunter 2026 420 Swag Giveaway is all about honoring that journey, not just your own, but the people who helped light the path. Because this place thrives when we lift each other up, share what we’ve learned, and stand together even when our perspectives differ. Acceptance is the soil that keeps this community alive.

To join the giveaway, make a post listing 10 pH members who enlighten or inspire you and tell us why. It doesn’t have to be long. It just has to be real.

Maybe they taught you something.
Maybe they encouraged you.
Maybe they challenged you in a way that helped you grow.
Maybe they simply showed up when you needed it.

This is your chance to honor the people who make this place feel like a welcoming community.

Cannabis has always been more than a plant here at pH, it’s a shared experience. A teacher. A healer. A connector.

And just like the plant, we grow best when we grow together.
Different backgrounds, different styles, different opinions, and all rooted in the same soil of respect and curiosity.

Let’s celebrate that. Let’s celebrate each other. Let’s celebrate the journey.

This contest will be a random number contest - 1-420
5 Closest to the generated # on 4/20/2026 will win:

1st & 2nd Place - Hoodie from the Swag Shop

Contest ends at 8pm EST 4/20/2026

Image is an example, can be customized

Image is an example, can be customized

6th through 10th Place will get some pH stickers, pH lighter, and a pen, possibly even some extras ~!

[rkymtnman]

Don't have a list of 10 but this site has been a great place to chat about all kinds of stuff from what's for dinner, to beer and lots of good info on growing by some really talented people.

Wish it would be feasible to have some kind of meet-up but the logistics and the geography of trying to get everybody together in one place would be almost impossible. We can all celebrate 4/20 in spirit though...

[Kold Kasiz]

@Frimpong this man deserves at the top of most lists. Super grower with the keenest eye for matchups. Always generous and positive. He was one of my first interactions on this site that i didn’t know. He set the blueprint of spreading great genetics and building a great business. Doing things the right way. I feel blessed having him as a friend.


@BH one man show who motivates me to go harder, encyclopedia of amazing knowledge, master gardener i’m thankful to have met on here and consider a good friend/mentor. Always look forward to his posts and what he is up to.



@HBZ amazing grower, enjoy his insight and thought process, love to see the sculptures he creates. His garden is like an Art show . Thankful he joined the team


@Willie- another wealth of knowledge who is always happy to help and share. Always enjoy our conversations.


@Deebs is like an older brother who moved out already, but i know i can count on him no matter the problem or just to bs with. His posts are sometimes way over my head, but so thankful he is here keeping the wheels rolling.


@finedakine the man with many talents, just a great outdoorsman who is always happy to share and help out. Great eye for selections and matchups, always love to see his updates.


@GthaEnigma much respect for this family man and i miss seeing his posts. Beast grower indoor and especially out. Drooled over his journal every summer. Hope you and the fam are doing well!

@LG/ love to catch his posts. multiple projects with excellent matchups. He has an amazing assembly line going with plants packed in tight but always looking so happy.

@Dino Party -this guy has always been in his own lane and done an excellent job with multiple projects and stressful situations. Truly a great grower and business minded. Really enjoy his posts and always has me grinning. Followed him over from rollitup as they were not keen on sharing at the time. lol It was fun to ruffle their feathers. Seeing your long skinny middle finger at those ice losers was the topping on the cake. I wish the best for you and hope to see you around more.


@Senokai and @THT i was also around them on rollitup. Always very informative and growing with purpose. It was great to see them build up their company from their passion for the plant. Amazing job and you guys deserve all the success.


@Jewels and @ASecretSquirrel for making me laugh and think outside the box. Very fun, creative posts from these guys and great growers to boot.

[RookieBuds]

Shit I forgot @Dino Party

My neighbors probably think I'm a porn freak because of him

Nobody's asked me "what's Dino Party?" but I bet they know that logo

 

[Deebs]

Even though I am not in it as you know, I still would like to take the time to contribute. There are honestly too many to list, and the time is would take to list everyone is just unreal. I am truly grateful and inspired by every member that continually respects others, and does what's right, even when no one is looking. Going through my list, I see many that I haven't heard from in a long while. One thing rest assured, they will not be forgotten. This is just a short list....

@spyralout - Leading the way, and creating this place. We used to chat all the time, I still miss him, and am grateful that he enabled/entrusted me with everything to keep this going. Truly a brother from another mother. Spy, Jag, and I used to chat on a walkie talkie app all the time

@Bodean - I would not even be on here if it wasn't for my RL brosky. I use to read through forums using his account, because I never wanted to make one. Regardless, I finally did here @ pHenohunter. He truly cares about pH and the members, and it shows.

@Schwaggy P - Schwaggy P, just seriously! Not only a founding member, and renowned skunk breeder, he shows theory and explains the science behind the plant. The experiments alone intrigue me. Above all of that Schwaggy manages the PoTM contest.

@HydroRed - More than just a fire breeder, and founding member of phenohunter, His efforts have really helped me keep things running here at pH. If I listed them all here it would be a paragraph alone.

@Phylex - Another important founding member of pHenohunter, and a fire breeder himself. Always great chatting with him, and unfortunately I might have been venting a few times, but he was always there to listen. Level headed, and objective.

@JL2G - Miss this guy, I text him every once in awhile, and we chat, but miss his interaction and grows, and just hanging out. Seriously, if I ever get out to Colorado, its on! Maybe @DopeDaniel, maybe you can help me get Jesse back on here too!

@Capt. C - Founding member and an anchor of phenohunter. Always a cool guy to chat with, and great grower to boot.

@jaguarlax - Another brother from another mother, we used to have some hilarious chats and ideas. He's even helped me out with Pokemon cards for my daughter lol, she absolutely loves him. Above all that he was just honestly a good person, and he and spy helped me a lot when I was not doing well.

@GthaEnigma - When I first joined, I was always amazed with his "Tree's". That was no joke. An all around great guy, whom I hope comes back to visit us more.

@Jewels and @Mr. Jay - I really miss these guys too . I loved all the chats and the perspectives, the bunnies, and honestly the general nature and landscape pics, The posts and the perspectives these guys have always keeps things interesting. Very knowledgeable, and always always tuned in when there was aqua-science talk.

@DopeDaniel - For just being dope!@ Giggles aside, a great person, and moderator whom I have enjoyed following his tinkering, and kiln work let alone his growing skills

@Amarok - Always have been intrigued with ice fishing, never have gone. Felt I have gotten to live a little vicariously through this bro. Excellent grower, and hope to see more of him

@SCJedi - For the coaching and assistance when starting myco and tissue culture. Had I not had the structured discussions, the learning curve would have been much higher...Excellent grower, breeder, and all around great guy

@spondlygrow, @macsnax, @jpcyan2, @Mim Towels @GCG - myco growmies, all great human beings. Luckily I chat with @jpcyan2 here and there (enormous myco knowledge), @Mim Towels is busy with his journey in fatherhood, miss his grows, myco, and foodies. Macsnax was hilarious and also fun to chat with, and share experiences with.

@BH - For the enormous amount of time spent assisting members with anything related to IPM, or organics. Always willing to help and provide feedback.

Everyone else here has also made an impact here at pHenohunter. Each and every person deserves a shout out and I really want to write something for everyone but I am super tired >< Know that you matter!

@Gentlemancorpse @Kanzeon @Texagonian @Bubby's n da lab @John Glens Gardens @HBZ @Mim Towels @Kold Kasiz @Frimpong @Dino Party @Bad Dawg @Rosinallday @Nefar @Psychobilly @Skunky Dunk Farms @belleswell @Rozgreenburn @Cradle of Mirth @Trichitect @OldG @Cincimilla Genetics @Ramjet159 @Willie @dstroy0 @Kkvguitarist @Gweedo's Growroom @UncleB @THT @Senokai @Kind024 @Jim Dandy @jaws

I could really keep going on! Again, I am grateful to you all, even those I have missed, and I am sure there are many...Remember to always be kind, you never know what struggles others are going through, or when you may ever speak with them again. Lets continue raising the bar, and lifting each other up!

Hey Everyone,

Its very motivating to be getting tagged here. There are so many people to mention but definitely want to shout out folks who let us participate in preservation projects, have held space for 12/12 gear in their gardens and have helped expand my knowledge. Infact everyone has helped in one way or another to learn/grow. Thank you to everyone.
