💎 Pro Tips
🌦️ Weather Farming
Always check weather before planting. Starfall and Thunderstorm give the best mutation multipliers (4.5x-6.5x).
📈 Growth Stages
Always wait for Lush stage (3.0x multiplier). Harvesting early wastes potential profit.
🔄 Rotation Strategy
Plant multiple seed types to hedge against bad weather. Don't put all eggs in one basket.
💰 Budget Management
Never spend more than 50% of your capital on seeds. Keep reserves for opportunities.
⏰ Time Optimization
Match seed grow times to your play sessions. Short sessions = fast seeds. Long sessions = slow seeds.
🎯 Focus Strategy
Master 2-3 seeds per tier instead of spreading thin. Become an expert in your chosen seeds.
