Information about crops

I stuck soul sand under a terra wart (I think it was in stage 2) and got netherwart, so that was good.

I also cross-bred red wheat from SOMETHING (the screenshot here) but then my keyboard went crazy and I trampled it, and half the rest of these crops.

Dear raGan, i think you can add in OP way how to create first crops (eg. blackthorn or sticky reed) - after this small advice new farmers will have larger chnce to create somehing (like me for exsample - after 3 days of searching i still dont know how to create new crop), and/or you can add info what is GGR?

Argh, im so blind.. GGR is in middle, written in huge text size. Anyway, hope you lazyness will fast decrase, but in meanwhile i will try to load this YT tutorial.

I just got that also but I dont know what to do with it.

So, I just got cocoa from the wild picked 0-0-0 reed within about 45 minutes (most of this time was spent killing skellies for bones) of starting operations and then pumpkins from the next and Mellon seeds from cocoa and reeds about 3 minutes (several crossin tries) later. It was at y=120 in a swamp biome with a fully outfitted autocropalizer.

Anybody try farming in the new elevations? I am going to Keep this farm going, and try again from scratch at y=250 in the same biome. Obviously I'll need a different chunk as I need to keep line of sight open with the sky at the first one.. My hope is to see that the higher elevation farm will catch up in production. Not a very scientific test, but maybe more people will weigh in. It's been askedin the FAQ if elevation 129-256 is supported, but I would like to answer the question for ourselves before al has a chance to update the q&a.

I only have 6 crossing spots, so This feels like pretty powerful results.. Certainly no hair pulling like my experience at lower levels and from reading the experience of some others..

Anybody tried this?

Also, like the OP stated, I still haven't come up with stickreed. Maybe we are just too good.

Your missing Terra Wart which is tier 5 As well as nether wart (tier 5) which grows if a terra wart is planted with soulsand under the dirt (grows in surface world.)

Only reeds(sugar cane) can be farmed in crops in desert biomes. But you can still get their seed bags if harvested about half way.

I noticed alblaka said that it's impossible to get the conditions for a plant with all 31 stats, i've got a couple of plants at 26, does this mean that i won't actually be able to get a plant with 31 legit?

Ah right i was getting worried then haha :p thanks for telling me

I heard redwheat needs a light level between 5-10 to flower. So yeah, redstone torches.

Yeah, I heard this rumor too, as an official answer in Al´s Q&A Thread.

Q: at what light level(or rather range of light levels) does red wheat grow?
5 <= Light => 10

I took a bit of a break from my teextures since the crops were introduced and I am trying to finish up my tecture pack. I saw in the begining of this forum a png with the older plants names witch helps a bit, but is there a compiled list of what soem of these plants do and what the new texture are so I have some idea to make realistic textures for them.

Roses and Dandelions:
You hold a stack of at least four of them and right-click on an empty set of stakes, right? Not doing a damned thing.
