    My chocobo is currently living in his own filth, and I just can't justify buying another stable or doing the magicked broom grind.

    You can't justify growing glazenuts and broombush one time in order to have enough brooms to last you just over 2 months?
    with the math in place, I see it as a perfectly reasonable thing that has been put in.

    I'm curious. How long does it take to grow a broom bush and a glaze nut?

    Well first you need to plant for Apricot Kernels, so:

    Week 1 you're planting Honey Lemons and Prickly Pineapples.
    Week 2 is spent growing things for Royal Kukuru Beans, which is planting the Apricot from week 1 next to a Honey Lemon.
    Week 3 you need to plant a Royal Kukuru next to a Apricot for the Glazenut intercross.
    Week 4 you plant your Glazenut.

    The same applies to growing Broombrush so basically you're looking at 1 month until you can make brooms. Even as a small FC you're able to grow both Glaze and Broombrush in the same 8 plot garden though, and if anyone needs help with figuring this all out please feel free to PM me and I'll be glad to help.

    My best advice for any, but especially small, FC looking into Choco raising:

    1. Pool your quest reward foods together in the FC safe. I know everyone wants to train right away but a small stockpile of food later will be beneficial.
    2. Grow for brooms before Choco food as the foods have a very short growth cycle.
    3. Grow basic food for training, you can get like 144 out of a single 3 day garden.
    4. Grow for advanced food.

    I do sympathize that the system seems daunting and stressful at first but you really just need a road map and just keep pushing forward.

    well rolanberry + pineapple I believe grows faster by a day, but the total math for speed for a single garden (which is strangely doable like they designed it that way) are looking at 21 days - fertilizer adjustment but doing the method of 3 plots for glazenut strain and 3 plots for brushbroom strain leaves 2 slots for krakka which if you use specific combos could lead to extra seeds for Onion Prince or Mimett Gourd, Curiel Root or Tantaplant.

    Also I do not advise this if you can help it as there is a risk you could get no cross breeds as g3 than soil is supposedly 90% success, or only one seed making it impossible to immediately make a cycle for glaze back into glaze as there will be a 10% failure and the fact that no known broombrush back into broombrush exists so you will need a successful cross breed twice or three times for halone or you have tyo go for jute to avoid restarting from the beginning of your strain.
