Greenhouse Gold Upgrades - Worth it or not?

It doesn't seem to me that the higher levels of the greenhouse are worth the gold investment for upgrades unlike the doghouse, water tower, and workshop. Correct me if I'm wrong. Is there any benefit to upgrading the greenhouse past lvl 3 with farm cash?

    i don't see the benefits the amount of goods produced should increase substantially but it only increases by a few more per lvl after lvl 3. yeah I am not WASTING my gold on something that doesn't greatly benefit me thank u I was contemplating this myself made me do a double take :):) ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^

    With the greenhouse, it is a waste to upgrade because of the island farm, that is only temporary and most people run out of items within a week after the farm is gone, On the other hand if you want a nice looking green house, go ahead, spend your money on it instead of where it really matters

    For time beeing, its not worth it. This of course may change when they open a horse ranch.

    We didn't run out of items for the greenhouse. But I agree with you that it's not worth the gold spending

    I am sure there are exceptions, you are the proof, but for the green house, i leveled it to max with farm dollars and am fine with it, am trying to accumulate enough seeds and shells to tide me over, question how many shells or seeds di you have that allowed you to do it

    I also leveled the greenhouse to the maximum with dollars. I bought 30 normal seeds of every kind and 10 special seeds. We had plenty melon seeds but lemonseeds were just enough (the island came just in the right time) We always send the boat away with the lowest possible number

    Please explain what you mean by the lowest number
    you can't send the boat unless you have filled it
    you can but you have too wait 12 hours
    you also don't get full benefits

    A few of us found that if you ship the minimum amount 3x/day it takes about 4 million shells to tide you over to the start of the next event (if the schedule remains the same). I found special seeds in the following proportions worked well.

    6 lime : 4 grapefruit : 2 pineapple : 1 honeydew melon

    That is very helpful to know. I just discovered the special seeds a few days ago. I didn't invest my shells in seeds the first time...big mistake. I bought too many special decos and I didn't use all of them.

    The ship cargo is divided into six parts. First four parts are regular goods. You have to give capitan the amounts he asked (no more and no less). Last two containers require from you to fill them with special fruit. You will notice green arrows on both sides of these containers. You have three options of how many fruits you want to send, each giving you different amout of horseshoes. Default value is highest number of fruits that you have in storage. By pressing the green arrows, you can choose lower amount. You will get less horseshoes per fruit, but your fruit will last longer.

    Hope I explained it clear enough.

    as of right now i am just stocking up on seeds but in the midst of it i am producing orange fizz also, hopefully for more shells, if i can get enough shell that will be great, the only thing i do is have 200 of each crop in the greenhousde ready to go, due to a lot of time just clicking on loading the ship without thinking about it

    You'll get more shells, but you'd spend more island dollars doing it.

    I do not mind spending the dollars, like someone said before, it is virtual money, I do spend gold on the main gourmet and flower farm but not on here so it is cool, also i have upgraded the bank to level 5 so i can definitely get a lot of money to do produce a lot of items needed for shells
