❌ Common Mistakes to Avoid

Harvesting Too Early

Always wait for Lush stage (3.0x). Harvesting at Ripened (2.9x) wastes 3% profit.

Skipping Equipment

Equipment pays for itself quickly. Don't hoard money, invest in sprinklers and fertilizers.

Ignoring Weather

Weather mutations can 5x your profits. Use Weather Tracker and plan ahead.

Spending All Capital

Always keep 50% capital for seeds. Running out of money stops your progress.

Planting Wrong Seeds

Don't plant expensive seeds without equipment. Build foundation first.

Not Using All Plots

Empty plots = wasted profit. Always have something growing on every plot.
