PoE 3.11 My GARDEN SETUP + How to Craft HORTICRAFTING STATION - Guide
This time I bring you a short guide on how to craft Horticrafting Station in PoE 3.11 Harvest League. The first step - you will need to set up your garden. You can use one of many possible layouts made by other people or make one yourself.

I had enough equipment to set up everything for t1 and t2 seeds, and upper right corner which is used for seeds t3 and t4 I will set up later. To craft Horticrafting station I used seeds tier 2, used 24 T2 Seeds level 70+ (maybe few under), got a total 5009 Lifeforce. For Horticrafting Station you will need 1800 raw Lifeforce, which you get after harvest.
So how to place all these parts and don't mess up. I started first with 3 yellow Vivid collectors and placed all yellow parts inside my garden. Then I checked the picture on how to connect yellow parts and I connected every yellow piece of this puzzle.
Next, I placed pink, connected all pink, and finally placed all blue parts and connected all blue.
Now when you have everything set up and connected be sure to start filling up your tanks with condensed lifeforce. Lifeforce inside tanks are used only to water down your plants and it is not possible to use it for crafting.
So the next step is to plant those seeds. When you mouse over tier 2 seed, you can see how much and what color of condensed lifeforce will need per cycle, how many cycles before harvest, and how much raw lifeforce you will get. So if you plant 24 seeds like this one, after harvest you will have over 2000 lifeforce and enough to craft Horticrafting station. (you can always use fewer seeds but higher tier).
The next step is to click on the auto-disperse option on 8 dispensers around this collector. Now, you just need to run maps, depending on what seeds you used, you may need to run 6 or more maps before you can harvest all these tier 2 seeds.
If need, after each map, you can fill up your tanks with condensed lifeforce so your tier 2 seeds always have enough water for each cycle.
Also VERY IMPORTANT, after the first map, when you enter the garden, all your t2 seeds will blink and when you mouseover, you will see that requires condensed lifeforce is not checked. I think this is just a visual bug, they will blink and show exact information even when you have enough condensed lifeforce. Don't change anything, just keep running maps and store additional condensed lifeforce if need.
On layout picture, you can see tier 1 seeds planted near each t2 corner seeds, this way you can plant and harvest all 24 seeds inside the collector's zone.
You can have as many stations as you like, and each can store 3 recipes.
You can place the station where you like and use one pylon to connect with the collector. Now you can select the recipe you want to save and click on the left button to transfer this recipe to Horticrafting station. Lifeforce cost for this transfer will be the same amount you need to spend to use this crafting option from the collector
You also have the option to destroy recipe, if you changed your mind and need space to store some other recipe. Each recipe you store is one-time use.
Also, there is a one really nice function. You can pick your station with recipes, and place inside your stash. Now you can use search stash for crafting options you have on your stations. You cannot sell these stations, but you can list them for sale, and Poe trade site will list these stations.
