How to Grow Lots of Big Weeds
the short and simple answer is:
if you have 149 weeds or less, they will grow
if you have 150 weeds or more, they will not grow no mater what
everything else in this post is just extra information that you may find interesting or useful
I got fed up trying to figure out how weeds worked, so I made a throwaway town on my old switch and ran some experiments. the percentages I list is information I got from the guidebook. based on my tests, they seem to be correct. here’s what I learned:
water makes your weeds grow faster. rain, snow and your watering can all count
baby weeds have a 20% chance of growing without water, and a 50% chance of growing with water
medium weeds have a 5% chance of growing without water, and a 10% chance of growing with water
if you have 149 weeds or less, new weeds will spawn. once you reach 150, weeds will stop spawning and your weeds will stop growing
because weeds stop growing at 150, you can only have a total of 149 medium and large weeds combined
you can make all 149 of your weeds into full grown weeds if you want
if you want lots of bushy, wild-looking weeds all over your town, the most effective way to maximize your weeds is to plant exactly 149 weeds in places where you want the biggest weeds to grow. once a day a new weed will spawn, tipping you over to 150, so you’ll need to pluck one baby weed a day until all your weeds are the size that you want. at that point, you can go fill in the spaces with baby weeds
below are the notes I took while doing this process if you’re interested
