How many plants per drying rack ??

[Ardbug]

How many pot plants does it take to fill one rack in a timely fashion ??
I tried 2 plants to 1 rack but that was way too slow, anyone figured out the golden ratio on this yet ?

just over do everything and your racks will always be full, i run 8 pots per botanist into 8 racks, if you want to speed it up add PGR.

PGR would actually slow it down because it ruins the quality of your plant so it has to dry on the rack a lot longer, it will give you the most leaves over all and probably the most profitable end plant. If you wanted to speed up the process you'd want to use fertilizer so it doesn't need to dry as long and speed grow to get the leaves on it sooner.

That depends, right now, the highest quality you really need is purple, PGR + Fertalizer is net zero on quality, set the rack to purple quality as the target, and your timing is the same, for the fill, though, really only warranted on Coca leaves since their production is so much slower. PGR boosts coca leaves from 9 to 16 per plant, so you saturate dry racks with fewer needed plants, your target is purple, so the time frame of the dry cycle remains unaltered compared to Fertilizer only. And since (at the moment) quality doesn't effect end product price, you dont lose income from the lower quality.

Drying racks are not needed in the game currently for main line production. It might help with samples for getting customers but beyond that they are a waste, seriously.
