Vomp Carrot harvesting what am I doing wrong?!

[Khei]

I have a good 15 pots (mixture of brass and earthen) and have been planting Wildgrass Seeds and feeding Earth crystals till I'm blue in the face and all I ever get is Little worms and Lightning Crystals. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to plant on specific days in game (ie Earthsday?) Am I usign the wrong pots? Need to know cause buying vomp carrots is going to put me in the poor house!

Vomp Carrots are usually common for me. I have 6 pots(5 brass 1 arcane) and every harvest I have 1~2 stacks of carrots.

Take a look at Nakti's work on carrots in the following thread:

Gardening: Wildgrass Seeds (http://www.ffxionline.com/forums/crafting-synthesis/59754-gardening-wild-grass-seeds.html)

You might want to check Pikkos Pots, she has detailed information on when planted, when fed, what type of pot, harvest info.

I have found that site quite useful for my gardening efforts.

It seems like the chocobreeding industry is failing. Prices for vomp carrot on my server is ridiculous and they're usually only available from mules (one who sells hers for 2.5k -a piece- and a couple others with less, but still extreme prices) that park outside the chocostables on my server.

I'm raising my 6th chocobo on a second character and I've just never gotten the hang of reliably growing vomps. I'm wondering if there's any new research on it. Wiki says the same as it always has and pikko's pots is also a little dated.

I have earthen pots and I feed, plant and check them on earth day. And harvested on earth day. I managed 2 stacks and 2 singles, but only 4 plants actually yielded vomps. The rest yielded little worms which I always thought was the failure harvest of seeds. And one plant yielded some crystals. Is 2 stacks and some change the norm? If so, these mules must have lots of other gardening mules or something cause they have piles of these things. ><

Or should I be trying something different? :3 Anyone had better luck growing them?

Somewhere between 2-3 stacks of Vomp Carrots sounds about right from when I was doing it. You should be getting about 4 plants that yield Vomps, amount of Vomps per plant will vary, so you could get more, you could get less than the average of 2 stacks.

I think my best was 3 stacks and some change. I also don't pay any attention to when I plant or feed, my play time is usually pretty limited, so I check and feed 'em when I can.

Also, let's see. My mules do the gardening for me, any and all pots in my main's mog house are used for decorative purposes. Mules have a table, ceramic pots I believe, and that should be it except for any event furniture that they might acquire.

Hope that helps.

Ok, well at least I know I don't have to go out of my way to check them on a certain day or anything and at least get the same results. That was pretty annoying :P Thanks for the response :)
