This was also not worth my time | Animal Crossing New Horizons

[@MM-qy1tl]

With the time I’ve spent learning and helping others out with flower breeding, I never expected to actually see a hacked blue rose, because it had just never come up. That said, those blue roses ARE supposed to be producing only blue. The only genotype that normally corresponds to blue roses is RR-YY-WW-ss, or 2220. This means that it’s homozygous. And in this game, breeding two flowers with the same homozygous genotype will only ever result in the same genotype as offspring. No exceptions. An example of this is the black rose (2000) you get from breeding seed red roses. This is why your blue roses on your island were producing only blue, because they actually had the intended genotype of 2220. However you can hack in flowers that have colors that don’t match up with one of their “intended” genotypes, hence why some of your friends’ roses made purple and red roses when bred with the other blues. My (very unlikely) guess is that some of those were the genotype 0000, which when bred with 2220 roses, will only produce 1110, which accounts for the red roses. I have literally 0 clue what the case for the purple roses is though, because with my cursory look at the potential genotypes for purple, there doesn’t seem to be one that results in any way from something paired with a blue rose.

[@myrealusername2193]

Interesting! Explains why mine do that too, I got them off nookazon a while ago so they must have been hacked in. I just assumed it was normal that the produced red roses since I believe that’s what you need to get them. Although it’s odd that mine only produced red and blue (no purple), even when put next to other blue flowers.

[@abbiepancakeeater52]

hmm are you sure? my naturally bred black tulips breed purple ones. i think it's just whatever the flower breeds with and has bred with or from previously unless you said that and i'm misunderstanding.

[@MM-qy1tl]

@@abbiepancakeeater52 Yes, I’m sure. It is possible for black tulips to make purple, given the right genotype (of which there are only 2 for black tulips, 2-0-0 and 2-1-0. a pair of 2-1-0 black tulips is what is able to make purple, with the genotype 2-2-0.) The reason I mentioned it is due to the blue rose only having one genotype, which happens to be a fully homozygous genotype (2-2-2-0). As I mentioned, if two identical homozygous genotypes are bred together in this game, they will only produce that same genotype. For example, with 2-2-0 purple tulips, if paired with each other and bred, they will only make more 2-2-0 purple tulips. This means that blue roses with the intended genotype will only make more blue roses when bred with each other, with no exceptions. Everything depends on genes.

[@Molly4eva613]

Me and my brother actually attempted to fill our island with flowers not for profit, but for fun. We flattened my brother's island and spent months filling it up with rows of flowers. In the end, we had the rows in rainbow colored order and in alphabetical order by species. It was fun and it looked really cool. It definitely wasn't worth the time it took, But it was a fun project and we worked really hard on it 😅

@@doctorthepepper It works with every tool that can be customized. I think the vaulting pole can be customized as well, but keep in mind that it doesn't have durability to begin with. Also, I don't believe any of the axes can be customized, nor the "flimsy" versions of the tools.

[@amandaslough125]

@@ask1at Customizing resets the durability on all compatible tools. So not golden or flimsy but the rest. And buying a custom kit, aside from taking up an extra pocket space, is way more efficient than outright buying a new item. So that 1.6 mil in costs could've been less than half of that, even with not stretching it to its limits. It only doesn't work on axes. Or ladders and vaulting poles but those don't break. I don't usually use most of the tools sans shovels. So when actively playing, I only refresh the others about every month, and the shovels every week. But I also use a "pretty" shovel for my rocks and fossils (so "normal" stuff), and a secondary "basic" shovel for anything flower related, that way I don't have to lose track of my rock hits just because I pruned an unexpected flower somewhere.

When harvested with other high priced items which can be easy to aquire they can add very nicely to a players income. Donation Boxes can be a huge bell bulger also. Fill 'em up w/99,000 bells and then wait until the Cranny has it as a hot item. 5 boxes will return almost a million bells. If you make them and use them on the island the Cranny will make 'em a hot item at some point. Thank You koramora. Well done!

[@merge9585]

Since 2020 I've been trying for blue roses. I used to water them, but the huge plots made it take forever. So I just used the info for my weather seed and cycled through two weeks of straight rain. It still took me forever. I got them a month ago.

[@PortalLogout]

This may be incorrect, but from what I remember placing them 1 apart in a grid like pattern will duplicate any type of flower as opposed to breeding them. But then you need to basically remove a bunch once you fill out the area. I got a lot of blue roses and green mums from doing that.

[@claudias5564]

With 40 blue crown wreaths and using the bell ordinance, you make $960,000 bells. I just pluck and store the flowers and make the wreaths all at one whenever I get enough to make 80 or so crowns. Since you don’t have to water them, it’s an easy way to make quick bells. Also, instead of buying shovels, I just customize the one I have at about 90 uses, so I can keep using the same shovel infinitely.

[@loomonda18]

Blue rose income is more sustainable than turnips for the average player. Every other day just pick and sell blue roses (craft wreaths or crowns to double income), it isn't an entire islands worth, just a section. Think normal islands, not extreme. No need to hunt for large spike prices.

@@JinzoCrash Yeah, that's just random. Should be able to get 3 recipes per day from your islanders, one on the beach, and one on Capn island each day.

[@Electrovolutiona]

Early in acnh i filled my entire island with flowers, every single morph bred by yours truely including blue. then i went on nookazon and made 40 million bells and something like 4000NMT that went into buying various villagers. And then i quit And returned to an island of flowers. Legit had to hire people to dig them up. 4 hours and 3 people later we had a FRACTION of the fields dug up. And my goblin make number go big brain was WINCING every time a purple or blue flower was dug up. i had to go attack the tulips and mums because i couldn't watch all that money get thrown away, but i haven't got the energy to advertise or sell flowers again. I used to give people a free gold rose with every purchase (as a surprise) i had a little green outfit and i'd set off a popper when i was done planting. I had a good time. but sometimes it took ages. and ages...and ages. Now the island is....MOSTLY clear of them. but i haven't got the willpower to actually design my island so it's empty now. 300 hours growing and selling. 70 or so hunting villagers or trading them. alas i am burned out.

[@lexaray5]

When you place flowers next to each other, they breed with each other. You must have gotten lucky that you were only getting blue roses on your other island because the genetics allow for pretty much any rose color to be the end result. If you make sure they're not touching any flower on the other hand, they'll clone themselves. This makes things go much faster as 1) when two flowers are touching they can only breed together to produce 1 flower per day whereas if they're not touching they can both clone and produce 2 flowers per day and 2) clones can only be blue.

[@catsdogswoof3968]

No their supposed to be royally inbred and pure and also cloning exists

[@Lightning_McNugget]

Instead of buying shovels, it’s cheaper to just buy 1 and a TON of customization kits, since your tools will have their durability rest upon being customized.

Hi! I was just wondering if you could try filling an island with non-native fruit trees and see how many bells it could make? The trees would be a lot less dense than the crops (needs 1 square space all around each tree) but I think it would be a cool experiment!

[@ThreePointOneFou]

1:30 Uhh... Something's wrong with the math here. If a shovel can dig up 100 squares' worth of crops before it breaks, and there are 6,567 squares of crops to be dug up, that works out to 66 shovels, not 657.

[@Coolerlap]

1. You can breed white roses to create purple roses, and then breed those to get special red roses and breed those to get blue roses! I have already started doing that process. I’m not sure if it’s fake though. 2. You can get the diy recipe for the blue rose wreath which is VERY expensive.

[@Anna_Crossing]

this video gave me an idea... fill an island with a single flower of choice, only leaving spaces for builds but every empty spot, is a flower, I think it'd look beautiful tbh OR use a few different flowers and let them grow wildly to fill it up ORR use another different flower to make a pathway instead of in game paths or custom designs

[@sunnygirlsense]

I give away or sell my extra blue, purple, gold and black flowers at nooks. I like to let my floral arrangements grow wild, then sell all the extra flowers

[@BigDerp21]

turn the blue roses into blue rose wreaths, and you'll double your earnings

[@MrBroomX]

So I also did this but with a 40 x 40 square instead of the whole island! Your plants are producing non blue flowers because they are breeding! And what you want is for them to clone themselves. You achieve this by planting each rose with one square free on all sides, so would be like this OOOOO ORORO OOOOO ORORO This way each plant has 8 spots where they can clone themselves, and aren't able to breed because there are no adjacent plants. Using this pattern and the rain I was able to fill the space pretty quickly! And another thing. Picking up buds is good enough to produce money, but, if you craft blue rose wreaths you double the money! So it's just a matter of choosing between your mental sanity or crafting hundreds of wreaths for more profit.

I haven't seen the vid yet just skimmed through it to see if you used my method, and I don't see it, so for the record blue roses are very very good to make periodically a ton of money with low efforts, if you have the two recipes that use blue roses, the blue rose crown and wreath. If you have a decently large blue rose field and make these when the roses grow back up again, you get a lot of muns like 200k or smth, it's great

There are lots of ways to make $ in the game, some better than others. You can also make bank from people by digging up manila clams and making them into bait, because this is such a time-consuming process, people will pay a lot because they don't wanna do it. The clams don't even stack in your inventory, it's horrendous. The more bait you can provide the more money you're going to get, because people don't want to do tiny trades for bait, they want a one-and-done kind of deal, to fill their inventory.
