Base value

Mutations & weather
Flower category crops excel with Celestial, Moonlit, and Pollinated because petals stay exposed to sky weather. One strong growth mutation beats stacking conflicting env tags.
Farming loop
Schedule marigold around sky-event forecasts so final bloom overlaps Celestial or Moonlit procs — flowers punish late harvests when pet buffs expire mid-petal. Skip tornado clears mid-grow on uncommon tier — lost env tags hurt more on slow crops.
