Where are your greenhouses? The various cities are supposed to have specific elements associate with them, curious if it makes a difference.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

I'd believe that. Kat (in Windy) always had better results back when I was trying to grow fire crystals.

Thistle, Fishingbot, and Yagudokisses: Sandy
Katerwaul: Windy
Chaser: Bastok

[iniadelphinae.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... the Windy mule definitely had better results. I know Bastok is supposed to be fire-based (so yah, growing fire anything there is good). Pretty sure Windy is earth and Sandy is wind. Maybe too much wind vs. ice action on the Sandy mules? My two mules that are growing zeghams are in Sandy, too, so we'll see soon enough.

On one hand, I could say I wish I knew this before making my mules. But on the other, gardening would be low on the list of reasons to pick a city for a new mule.

Can't wait to see your results!

Holy gardening mules batman O_o;
I now fear I won't be able to feed my 2 chocos from my 10 pots :(

[southern-hell.livejournal.com]

I did 5 Brass pots + Earth crystal, harvest on Lightsday
3 Ltng Crystal
8 Vomp Carrot
11 Vomp Carrot
6 Little Worm
6 Vomp Carrot

I'm still waiting on my 5 no crystal to try for worms.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

*stomps the little worms for you* :P

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

If you're not concerned about stats (just want one you can call from the field), you can feed them with greens/carrots bought from the NPCs. It's just because I want a bird that's good at digging that I'm trying to grow special carrots for it.

Good luck! :)

Yeah I am trying to get the physical attribute food to test running speed, thanks :).

Interesting :o I don't have as hard of data as you do, but when aiming for carrots (I'm going for vomp), I'm all for Lightday for plant/harvest. I tried Water and Lighting day. I got a few Lightning day, but absolute poop on Water day --; (3 yellow rocks, 2 stacks of crystals, and 3 stacks of litter worms). Not a single carrot :/

I should have some more crops ready to harvest tomorrow. (I hope tomorrow, I thought they'd be ready today and they're just sitting there happily blooming without glowing at me @.@; ) Danakate has been keeping gardening records on her CTY journal too if you wanted more data to cross reference.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Heh! Funny, but I feel like my data isn't all that hard at all (some people track the date/moon/exact time they plant, feed, harvest, etc).

Huh, yellow rocks! I hadn't seen those as a listed result. (I did get a mess of black rocks, but those had been listed as a possible result.)

[iniadelphinae.livejournal.com]

I don't think somepage.com's info is anywhere near complete yet. I got cupid worms from porcelain pot + light crystal, and that's not listed as a possible result.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

I suppose no one's is complete yet, which is part of what makes this so fun (and frustrating).
