Plant Question

[Belmarduk]

Hi all

I am trying to grow Orange Petals
I am currently growing towards Bright Orange Pampas Grass and have about 9 each of red+yellow seeds growing now in raised garden beds (day 3-4)
On day 7 I should see which plant will be the result and discard the plnats which are not needed for going towards the "Orange petal plants "
From reading through all howtos ( am totally new to this profession ) I am left with following questions:

Regarding the colors:
The plants will then already be yellow and red plants ? Which I must then further cross polinate to get to bright orange ?

When I finally have the Bright Orange Plant needed for the Petals I will receive the petals AND the seeds of these plants ? Meaning I could grow this plant 8x again without having to cross-polinate again ?

So I will in the end have, additonally to the petals, heaps of seeds for aka the Bright Orange Pampa Grass ?

Using Fertile earth when planting the seed will halve the days needed till ressouces/new seeds ?
Even with raised garden beds ?

Thankyou and kind regards
B.

this is the only no..... fertile dirt only gives a chance of double growth in a cycle, it's not certain

Thx for quick answer
So the fertile earth only gives the chance to "jump" one day

Yes, making it not good if planning things out.

The only day which would be bad to miss is day 9 for cross-breeding, I think, otherwise nothing can "happen"
So it probably would be best not to use fertile earth until growing the finished Orange Pampa Grass for petals+seeds

The plant selfpollinates after day 9 - Can the seeds+petals decay at some stage or will they be there even after eg. 3 weeks ? (raised garden bed which needs no maintenance)

 

[Belmarduk]

Thankyou for clarification

Just to be really sure:
After the plant has produced seeds and ressources it is done for good ? aka must be set to deco mode and removed from raised garden bed
So I use the seeds it has produced to make (8) new plants and then only have to wait till it has selfpollunated and produced its set of seeds+petals - then rinse repeat ?

 

[Belmarduk]

You could use fertile dirt if you're just growing the plants for resources and are not planning to self-pollinate if you can stand not having everything on the same schedule of planting and harvesting.

I thought the plant self-pollinates always (except plants which produce no seeds) -> I plant the bright orange pampa grass seed and it will eventually self-pollinate and then produce seeds+petals ?

 

[Belmarduk]

Ah ok now I understand thanks

I always cross-pollinate my orange petal plants with other orange petal plants, to get a chance of white and black seeds

What do black or white seeds do/grow to?

Whatever plant they are but Black or White.

Nice..So the rose petals you get from them are also white? But they still function as rose petals?

You will still get 8 orange petals at the end, but with 8 black or white seeds Then you plant the seeds and they give you black and white plants, with no resources and no seeds.
