Greenhouse Humus and the Special Press

Uncle John (GB1)Uncle John (GB1) GB1 Posts: 11,004
I currently have my Special Press at level 4 allowing me to run it twice a day.
I run it on Option 3 using certs and toolboxes to produce 55 humus each run.
(also running the Humus Pro once a day with Option 3)

I don't think I can run it more often due to the limitation of the drop rate of toolboxes.

If I minimum load the Ship I can use humus for every run of the Greenhouse but if I go above minimum loads I have to do runs without humus.

Am I missing something? Has anyone out there found a way around this constraint? :S ?(

    My tractors are all maximized, so I can start the Special Press about every 3 hours (if I'm online & remember to start it). I'm also using the Humus Pro all day, at Option 3. With the Special Press, I alternate between Options 2 & 3, depending on how many tools I have. And I have nowhere near enough humus to put on all my Greenhouse crops. I save it until I have 250 or more and use it on the melons, which are the most expensive seeds to buy.

    If a person uses Option 4 of the Humus Pro (the option that uses gold), it gives quite a bit more humus. Maybe people who use that option have enough humus for most of their crops - I wouldn't know about that.

    Thank you Pingo. It looks like it's just one of the delightful challenges of the game. lol
    I've had lots of views and no-one has told me I'm missing some obvious solution so I shall just soldier on. :)

    Mine are all maxed out too & I run the Humus Pro every 2 hours (or whenever I remember to check if its ready) & the special press when I have enough toolboxes to do both. But I only do every other island, so I am not doing the current one & I have nearly 3000 greenhouse humus in stock ready for next island. I found it hard to make enough fast enough, if I made it while using it, but stocking up works ok for me.

    I did the math on this and Pingo is right - save the humus for special melon seeds for the best return, then use on pineapples if you have enough spare. Get that tractor maximised as fast as you can!

    Thankyou both. You're telling me to do exactly what I was planning to do which is really good that I got it right :)
    but really bad that there isn't some sneaky way around the issue :(
    I just needed to be sure I wasn't missing something and you have reassured me. TY

    do you have to be at a special level to use hummus on special greenhouse seeds? my greenhouse hummus only works on regular seeds not the special ones. thanks in advance

    It works on the special seeds, but you need to make sure you have enough humus as the special seeds take a lot of it. Special Honeydew Seeds, for example, need 250 humus. I don't remember how much humus is needed for the other special seeds, but Honeydew needs the most.

    Correct Pingo, It's very different how much humus the different seed types needs:

    Regular lime seeds takes 1 greenhouse humus.
    Regular grapefruit seeds takes 2 greenhouse humus.
    Regular pineapple seeds takes 5 greenhouse humus.
    Regular honeydew melon seeds takes 10 greenhouse humus.

    Special lime seeds takes 25 greenhouse humus.
    Special grapefruit seeds takes 50 greenhouse humus
    Special pineapple seeds takes 100 greenhouse humus.
    Special honeydew melon seeds takes 250 greenhouse humus.

    Standard gooseberry seeds: 1 greenhouse humus.
    Standard rose hip seeds: 2 greenhouse humus.
    Standard blackberry seeds: 5 greenhouse humus.
    Standard cloudberry seeds: 10 greenhouse humus.

    Special gooseberry seeds: 25 greenhouse humus.
    Special rose hip seeds: 50 greenhouse humus.
    Special blackberry seeds: 100 greenhouse humus.
    Special cloudberry seeds: 250 greenhouse humus.

    Thank you, I've been looking for that information! I'm stockpiling greenhouse humus in anticipation of starting an island..someday.

    You use the special press in your garage.
