Balfree's Garden - Wildgrass Growing

[Balfree]

I need a place to keep a record of my Wildgrass Seed growing, I decided to put it in a thread of it's own, maybe it'l help someone.

Unfortunatly I do not have the data for my first harvest, this first one is quite broken, but the next batch will be fully detailed.

I decided to post this even though it was just a single harvest of one plant, but that is because of the yield I got, simply, though in the future I'll add all my results, and I'll be taking notes. :cool:

Crystal yields are colored in accordance to their element, so if youre scrolling throuhg the results, you'll easily identify a crystal yield simply by noting its a colored font, thus you can ignore/focus on it.

Suggestions / feedback welcome.

Now, sure, i'm missing some info, but i decided to post this result anyway, i've been to pikko's pots, and ive read some stuff from gardening, ive read some journals, and ive seen some results, but never once did i find this many crystals yielded in one single plant... so i decided to post this anyway... now if only they were lightning crystals :rolleyes:

I have 5 other plants growing, i also completely forgot when i planted them, but theyre about to be harvested, probably tomorrow.

Were the Wind Crystals from a Porcelain Pot by any chance? Nice harvest!

You may want to check Sabaron's thread on Wildgrass Seed results (http://www.ffxionline.com/forums/crafting-synthesis/59754-gardening-wild-grass-seeds.html). I've started putting my own results there, too.

Maybe Ping can give us a Gardening sub-section in Crafting. ^^

Yes i read your posts :D, i want my own journal though heh, im self centered like that =P

And no, it was Arcane pot :O

[Nakti]

Yes i read your posts :D, i want my own journal though heh, im self centered like that =P{Understood.} lol

I'm looking forward to your results!

And no, it was Arcane pot :O o.o Fascinating...

[Balfree]

I will also add screenshots on my next harvests, and i seriously need more pots, only have 6 atm.

I'm aiming to get a Wooden Flowerpot, I hear its pretty good, anyone have any info?

Disappointment. :wasted:
Focusing on all fire for plant day, crystal and harvest day seems to be productive.
Feeding both the strong and weak element to fire to your plant will probably reward you with gysahl greens, that is my conclusion.
Next comes testing with all fire elements, plant, crystal, and harvest. Time to see how much of a role the pots will play, after this next batch i will purchase more pots and start gathering even more info.

I'm aiming to get a Wooden Flowerpot, I hear its pretty good, anyone have any info? I haven't seen too much info on the Wooden Flowerpot. I'm hoping it's a different element from all the other pots. I need to get off my butt and go fish for that. ^^

Thanks for the harvest info; my husband got Gysahl Greens from 9 out of 10 pots this morning using Ice Crystals. :eek: Maybe it's just a Gysahl Green sort of day... /sigh

The Wooden Flowerpot is a gimmik. It may be better then the 3 regular ones(Brass, Creamic and Earther) but Proc. and Arcaneare better than it, not to mention the huuuge pricetag.

I reccomend using Earth and Water Crystals, Earth provides a steady supply of Vomp Carrots and Azouph Greens, while Water gives huge amounts of Tokopeko Wildgrass(about 66-75% of harvest is tokopeko). Lightning Crystals give large amounts of Azouph Greens(I got 16 in 6 pots, 15 in 3 pots, and crystals in the 10th.) Ice and Light usually give Ghyssal and Crystals(about 75% of the time for me), but they are the only way to get Zegham Carrots and Cupid Worms. Ice, Fire and Wind have all given mesmall amounts of Sharug Greens.

Thanks a ton for the info Onion!

Much better harvest, gotta check how much Garidav goes for ^_^!
Next plantation will come at a later time, i need to get more pots, and probably gonna need some gil for 2 more arcanes, and pondering about the rest of the pots, i will start by using earth crystals on earth days for next plantation, and ill plant after my arcane is ready for harvest, they are slower...

Is it safe to assume that using Fire elements will yield Garidav Wildgrass more often?

Next comes massive Earth testing, will plant tomorrow in order to harvest exactly 6 days after, on a saturday ^^

[Nakti]

Is it safe to assume that using Fire elements will yield Garidav Wildgrass more often? To my knowledge, Garidav Wildgrass can *only* be produced with Fire Crystals.

Other unique crops are:

Zegham Carrots (Ice Crystal)
Vomp Carrots (Earth Crystal)
Tokopekko Wildgrass (Water Crystal)
Gregarious Worm (no crystal)
Cupid Worm (Light Crystal)
Parasite Worm (Dark Crystal)

Azouph, Sharug, and Gysahl greens are produced by several different crystals.

Cool thanks for the info :D

I fail to plant this weekend im out of gil, been doing cop, i have a 3 digit figure on my bank account.. cant.. do ..much..

[Aksannyi]

I'm not sure if you're interested in this, but I planted Wildgrass seeds on Firesday, fed a Fire crystal on Firesday, and harvested 14 clumps of Garidav Wildgrass on Iceday.

Just thought I'd add that for you, if it helps with your gathering of information at all. :)

[Balfree]

I stopped playing for a big while, now im sort of back but didnt go back to gardening yet, i hope i can get back to it, seems like good gil, atleast it used to, for a week or so :D
