How the numbers work
Each G gene makes the plant grow 25% faster. Each Y gene adds 25% to the fruit that builds up while it grows, and every 2 Y genes give one more clone per cut.
A planter without fertilizer caps growing quality at 67%. A slow plant then runs out of growing time before its fruit fills up, so it gives less. One or two G genes make up for that, which is why pure Y loses without fertilizer.
Times are minutes of growth in full light, water and warmth. At night light drops and plants grow slower, so a real day takes longer. Harvest per hour counts one harvest from planting, plus the minutes you are late.
