gardening how-to
in this guide, i hope to collect all of the data pertaining to everything to do with the berry garden, and share it with you all after discussing things with niet, he let me know how the garden works and it is a lot more complicated than i originally thought! it's more than just not letting the garden go dry, though that is a part of it. (see bottom for a basic summary) to start with, there are two factors to yield - the stages of growth, and the plant moisture every plant's growth cycle is split into 4 stages - typically, these would be equal, but because of the way that the garden looks at things by the hour post-planting (that is to say, if you plant the berry at 14:26, the garden 'updates' the growth at 15:26), it sometimes sounds in weird ways when using a mulch. in further sections of this guide, i actually have these mapped out for ease, but essentially if you split the timeline in 4 equal parts, to find the actual time you round to the nearest hour after planting. the first time you water the plant during one of these stages, the yield will increase by 25% of the maximum yield range. the other portion of the yield calculations has to do with the moisture level of the plant. each berry has a 'drain rate'/ moisture starts at 100 whenever it is planted, and then every 60 minutes later, the drain rate is subtracted from the plant. whenever the moisture score is below 50, it will show as damp. whenever it is below 0, it will show as dry - going dry damages the plant, which reduces the yield these two aspects combined make quite an interesting schedule of care, but i will be updating this guide with a full layout of best practices soon! tl;dr water individually right after planting, than again every quarter section of the growth time and you'll get best yield unless it goes dry
various berries take various lengths of time to grow, this is true, and from this, they also vary in how quickly they grow damp and dry. below, i've charted these numbers for your convenience

max yield is what you get when you water at least once in each of the 4 stages of growth, as well as without letting the berries go dry
for every watering stage you miss, the yield is reduced by 25% of the max range
every time the plants go dry, the max is reduced by 1 (note: this is calculated when the plant is watered - so if it is dry near the end of its growth cycle, and you did the 1st part correctly, you may be better off not watering it. mostly only applicable to the long growth time berries)

Growth Mulch shorts the growth, and subsequently watering, times of all berries
Damp Mulch slows down the growth, and subsequently watering, times for all berries
Stable Mulch allows plants to be harvested for a longer amount of time before dying
Gooey Mulch allows berries to regrow from dead soil more times
Perfect Mulch is the only way to get Perfect Berries
Growth Mulch shorts the growth, and subsequently watering, times of all berries

Stable Mulch allows plants to be harvested for a longer amount of time before dying and replanting themselves (normally same as growth time)
More research to be done
Gooey Mulch allows berries to regrow from dead soil more times than normal before the soil can no longer regenerate them
More research to be done
Perfect Mulch is the only way to get Perfect Berries - which are used to increase and max out the Affection stat, required for Sylveon and Dusk Lycanroc evolutions, as well as in order to breed Kinaster from Solynx and Lunapine
It can only be used on the 12 hour berries, those that visibly represent the 5 flavours on pokefarm - aspear, cheri, chesto, pecha, and rawst
Perfect berries only work on pokemon of the nature that matches the flavour of the berry - any flavour pokemon can eat any berry type
when you gather the berries from your garden, you have a chance of collecting certain items. the better watered you kept the garden while growing, the greater your chances.
one of these is the gracidea forme-change item for shaymin. this requires no other pre-requisite besides being perfectly watered.
the other is nectars, which are the consumable forme-change item for oricorio and quibbit, and the only way to get the PFQ exclusive pointe-forme oricorio. collecting nectar requires a ribombee (NO totem-forme ribombee) to be in your party. each ribombee can collect one nectar, and each plant has potential to give one nectar, so having a full party of ribombee with well-watered crops gives the best odds.
the colour of the nectar depends on the colour of the berries being collected. canonically blue berries are considered purple on pokefarm, since there is no blue nectar.
if all else fails, the inventory will tell you what colour the berry is, and what nectar it has a chance of producing
