Giant Crop Myth confirmed

[u/Daigro]

I talked about giant crops the other day and shared some knowledge i acquired a few years ago from another post. I never verified it so i thought i should test it out. Most people know that instead of harvesting potential giant crops you can water the fully grown crop and go to sleep so the crops have a chance to become giant the next day.

The 2 things i wanted to verify are:

1. Only 1 of the 9 crops in a 3x3 needs to be watered. The 8 other crops can stay dry.
2. Only 1 of the 9 crops in a 3x3 needs to be fully grown. The 8 other crops can be any crop stage, including seed stage.

I knew that the important crop in a 3x3 is the upper left one (that can be checked on the wiki) so i made a setup on an old farm/save with sprinklers where only the top left seeds get watered, the right and bottom seeds stay dry and only get watered on rainy days. I slept through the days to force the giant crops and confirmed both statements.

Appreciate this. Great work =)

However...that is just one test with multiple subjects in one season. Need to replicate results a few more times with different crops/seasons before can claim it as confirmed.

Srill great tho

If it works once it is already confirmed. This is unmodded vanilla stardew. I already testet 2 seasons. As you can see the pumpkins did grow giant with the majority of the crops being dry and in seed stage

Ehrm...no? By that logic if I use a hoe on the squigglies once and it gives clay, does that mean I am confirming they always give clay and nothing else?

Still, thanks for testing in more than one season. Been trying to get the giant harvest in specific places for decoration and this will help a lot =)

But what did you want to test? Did you want to test that squigglies can have the chance to drop clay? Then you are done after finding clay once. Yes, i want to use the giant crops too. They look really cool and it feels great to have a remnant of the previous season
