I have huge cabbage seeds unlocked if a second confirmation is needed.

If you're in winter, go for it ^^ If not, I'm in fall, but dragging my heels spectacularly. I'm having so much trouble finding motivation to play...and next Wednesday I'm having trigger finger surgery, whee. So after that I won't be able to play at all for quite awhile.

I'm sorry to say but, I'm having a hard time following what is found to be correct or not now. Is the chart near the beginning updated fairly regularly? If not could you please start doing so for those that find this forum post more recently and would get lost or not have the time to read absolutely every word and page that there is in here already? Thank you.

The Chart at the beginning is updated Everytime we discover something or confirm something. (The very first Post) which is basically everyday to every other day. So that should save you time from reading threw all the posts. If you discover something we have not please post it here in this thread and Lirishae will update the first post accordinally and one of us will do a second confirmation for everyone. Thanks for your response and concerns.

The first post is updated regularly, but if you're confused about anything in particular, feel free to PM me or post here ^_^ If there's anything I could do to make the first post easier to read or understand, or something you would like me to add, feel free to mention it.

Tried to get dome cabbages and 0/49 of my plants at HE+9 lush soil mutated after several resets : ( I purposefully planted them alone, it could be a cross pollination with red or green cabbage


Had another test group on HE+8, less cabbages but just as fruitless. Still another 20 days of winter so I'll give it one more go without the cross pollination

Bleh :/ Well, maybe you'll have better luck with the next batch, since reusing the same places seems to help. Rowan seems to help too, if you weren't using him already. Thanks for taking the time to do this ^^

Yup I have Rowan and he's sitting at 75%. Also I don't have red or green cabbage seeds unlocked so unfortunately I can't test to see which works

I've got huge cabbage seeds, but not red or green. I was two red cabbages shy of unlocking them last winter >.< So I can test for red cabbage cross-pollination next season...if I can just get through fall. *sigh*

Got them the second time around, on both HE+9 and HE+8 (only elevations I tested) on lush soil. Also seems like of the two HE+8 has a better mutation rate, there were only 24 on HE+8 and 49 on HE+9 and through my resets HE+8 has had around 6/24 and HE+9 3/49

Sweet Way to go on Second Confirmation Robbie, Now we know it's not a cross polination Just Huge cabbage itself.

Do we have any confirmation of cross pollination mutations yet? Maybe (hopefully) it's not a factor at all, maybe mutations just increase the likely-hood of mutations in plants of the same base crop? Not sure if that would have any effect on one timers though.

As Far as we know the only cross polination Crop there is and it needs more testing is the Magic peppers that go into white peppers and it needs white berries planted in the center or by it. But it needs more testing.

Edit: Just noticed that Cherubae posted on Miiverse about White Peppers, So Magic Peppers don't need White strawberries Next to them to Mutate into White peppers. But they are still uncommon She could only get it on a cloudy day.

Some one i communicate with on MiiVerse said she came across one of Cee Cee's post about Pearl Onions Coming From Regular Onion Seeds. So since i'm in Summer i can Test it out here in Summer Can anyone Test it out in Spring, Fall And/or Winter? I Figured if we have one person In each Season we may discover this Mutation Faster.
