I am looking for the easiet to grow for profit.
I know that ancient fruit win definitly, and so does rare seed.
No way is ancient fruit THAT bad, it's super good.

Even just a few plants can really be a game changer, you just gotta use deluxe speed gro on them. Sweet gem berry takes 28-ish days to grow, not very worth it, considering it's once.
Starfruit's always available, provided you have access to Sandy.
You speak very judgemental about things while people give their best advice.
About the ancient fruit topic, it is not very costly. It's time consuming.
Greenhouse > Ancient Seed > Ancient Fruit > Seed Maker > Expand till you have all tiles filled
> Keg > Cellar > Sell Iridium Quality Ancient Fruit Wine.
(Ancient Fruit regrows on plants and doesn't need fertilizer since it dissapears at the end of a season but grows in all seasons in the greenhouse.)
Stardew Valley is not a game about opinions. It's very well possible to optimize things and since that's what you are asking you get answers from people who probably have more experience than you.
There's no good reason to stop the aging process early. It doesn't generate money any faster, wastes the time and effort it takes to open and refill the casks and actually slows down reinvestment by tying up more of your unaged wine revenue. Don't do it.
The total value of aged wine, regardless of what quality level, is the same because the rate of added value is the same per time period. It is also important to take unaged wine into account when comparing the higher quality levels because it is wasteful in both time and resources to delay reinvestment for a comparatively tiny increase in value. The value gained from aging wine is equivalent to one bottle of regular wine in 8 weeks.
Increase in value per time period for Artisan starfruit wine:
base: 3150g
silver: 3937g, increase of 787g in 2 weeks
gold: 4725g, increase of 788g in 2 weeks
iridium: 6300g, increase of 1575g in 4 weeks (787.5g per 2 weeks)
Ways to age/sell 4 bottles of wine with one cask in 8 weeks:
four bottles of unaged: 3150g*4 = 12,600g
four bottles of silver: 3937g*4 = 15,748g
two bottles of gold and two unaged: 4725g*2 + 3150g*2 = 15,750g
one botttle of iridium and 3 unaged: 6300g + 3150g*3 = 15,750g
You'd still get more money with starfruit wine of gold quality. Iridium quality wine takes 4 weeks to age, a whole season. That's 6300 gold how you stated, BUT golden quality takes 2 weeks and is worth 4725 gold. You can then collect it and put another starfruit in it, and in next 2 weeks you will get another 4725 gold, so in 4 weeks you get 9450 gold. That's a lot more than iridium quality, and it's the same time - 4 weeks
Your time periods are off in your example. It takes 2 weeks from start to finish for silver, 4 weeks from start to finish for gold and 8 weeks from start to finish for iridium.
If you don't take the cost of materials into account when making decisions on increased value you're double-counting revenue.
It only appears that you're making more money by selling a higher number of lower quality wines because you're not taking into account the cost of the higher number of base wines. iridium sells for 6300g and costs 3150g for a profit of 3150g in 8 weeks. two gold sells for 9450g and costs 6300g for a profit of 3150g in 8 weeks. Once again showing that the increase in value is the same.
The data I presented represents the increase in money over time, which is constant. That means that no matter what level you stop the aging process, you can only increase the value by roughly 788g every two weeks. There is no benefit if you stop the process early, you're only wasting your time and energy.
If you looked at the final part, it shows how much money you earn for each quality level scenario, including selling off the unaged wine. Including the unaged wines, the aged wines all come out to the same total income, but iridium quality actually gets you more money instantly and with less work than the lower qualities.
Plant flowers around them and make sure every bee house is within 5 squares of one of those flowers.
Each bee hive will give seven jars of honey each month. Two of these will be wild honey, which you will make into mead, and five will be flower honey.
Through an entire year, one bee house will generate about 10,000 gold.
One hundred bee hives will be a million gold a year operation, and all you have to do is plant about 20 - 30 flowers and collect the honey.
For 100 hives, you'll need about 10 kegs to process the cheap wild honey into mead. I put the kegs right next to the bee houses to minimize timne required to make mead.
Plus mead and honey make excellent gifts. (I like to give Pam a bottle of mead and then have her drive me out to the desert.)
With 100 hives and an annual income of 1 million gold, you can afford to do anything else you want.
Plus, you get winters off.
