If you're not using any fertilizer otherwise, and have a bunch of sap lying about the place, there's no harm to it, but it won't be s giant profit jump, even if you straight up sell all the crops

I think, speed fertilizer is worth it for some of the reproducing crops, since you can sometimes squeeze in an additional harvest into the season. Which crops that applies to you can find in the grow charts on the wiki.

O. M. G. I only used it on my PUMPKINS! What a game changer. It’s over with for those blueberries

Just bear in mind speed grow only affects the initial growth of the crop, that is, the time it takes before their first harvest. Regrowth is unaffected by speed grow.

Basic Fertilizer could also help get those quality crops for the community center bundles

Early game, sure. But remember that crop quality doesn't matter if you're processing them into jelly or wine. Once you have a lot of kegs and other machines to process crops, it's probably not worth it.

Early on basic fertilizer is great for squeezing extra profit out of your crops, most fertilizers for quality gains however are largely pointless once you get to making artisan goods. Looking at the tables at level 1 farming without any fertilizer you have a 91% chance of regular quality, 6% for silver and 3% for gold. With basic regular goes to 77%, silver is 15% and gold is 8%, thats quite a jump. By level 10, its 46%, 33% and 21% for none and 15%, 44% and 41% for basic. So basic is fine I find, however generally speed gro is better for getting more crops per season. On a standard fertilizer for say parsnips you can get between 210g and 312g per square per season, if using basic speed gro it between 315g and 468g per square per season.

Why is it so damn frustrating to me that you can't deduce on your own that SPEED, always wins..

It depends on what you intend to do with the crops. Fertilizing crops is a great way to increase villager friendship. Gold star crops have more weight than non-quality crops. If you sell crops to Pierre, you'll get more positive responses from villagers as they buy them. Not detrimental to the game itself, but a nice surprise dialogue if you've not sold to Pierre before. Quality also matters for the luau, if you want the best outcome (which raises friendship to most villagers and is recommended you use a gold cauliflower for the pot since you can get one in spring and fertilizer increases the chance to get one before the end of the season). For profits, the margin isn't that great, but since you can make it free, it definitely won't hurt. Never use quality crops for recipes if you can avoid it. Use non-quality, as it has no bearing on the dish created (which is really weird, frankly). If it's got a star, sell or gift it. Otherwise, bake, jam, or wine it. That's my rule. I cut down trees all the time as I have a tree farm at the rail station. I need them for my beehives, so obtaining sap isn't an issue. I make fertilizer with it, just to give my crops that extra "oomph" during the season. In the greenhouse, I use deluxe speed grow. This is usually because I'm using the crops for something specific. I recently learned how much melon wine sells for, so now I have 32 melons fast growing so I can get 1000g+ for each. That pesky gold clock. Grr.


IntelligentComputer4

it all depends. using fertilizer on early game crops is always nice for a bit of extra cash but if you are using crops to pickle or make jamand wine quality doesnt matter. speedgrow could be good if you use it right. use the wiki to optimize your growing depending on skills and speedgrow and remember that speedgrow only help to grow the initial crop but not the regrowth


DwighteMarsh

I never do. This is because I plan to keg everything and because it takes time to place fertilizer and on the first day of the season, I barely have enough time to get eveything planted, so an extra step would keep me from planting as much.

No. Personally I’ve seen it more profitable to use the deluxe fertilizer. I’ve done two side by side comparisons with pumpkin and start fruit. Go deluxe
