Is Speed Grow Worth it?

[The Shadow Rose]

Im just wondering whats worth it more quality fertilizer or deluxe speed grow for a maxed farmer with a farm of ancient fruits. I never used anything but basic fertilizer in my games so i wanted to know what earns more. Also does deluxe speed grow just make them grow faster when you plant them or does i make the fruits grow faster or both?

As always with this game, it depends. The fertilisers - both types - only affect the initial crop, though, not the ongoing crops. Deluxe Speed-Gro will give you your first fruit on day 24 instead of day 29 after planting.

So then all of them are basically worthless except for crops that you cant reharvest? Thats kinda dissapointing.

speed grow will afect crops and make them grow faster (EG blueberries you plant and water on the 1st will give another harvest if using speedgrow

DSG and SG last the whole season and affect all crops grown on that tile. Using DSG you can get 3 crops of starfruit instead of two, for example. For crops like wheat you can get 9 harvests instead of 6. For crops you plant once and continually harvest over the season (cranberries, blueberries, hops, etc.), DSG only affects the initial harvest. But sometimes that's enough to get an additional harvest of that crop. With hops you get an additional 3 harvests (assuming you plant on day 1).

Whether the additional harvests are worth the cost of the DSG depends on the crop and whether you are going to process in a keg/preserve or just sell it. DSG is cheapest in the Oasis store (sold every Thursday for 80 g).
