Hello! I have a question regarding when a crops quality is permanently assigned. Do we know if it’s generated/locked to the first played day that it becomes harvestable or is it generated when we actually harvest it? More info below.
Current scenario:
- It’s Fall Day 10, Year 1 and I lost track of time/forgot about the Harvest Festival.
- I also didn’t realize it’s impossible to get osmium crops (without fertilizer) until the Silver level seed upgrade.
- The lab doesn’t finish that particular upgrade until the next in-game day (Fall Day 11); which would insta-upgrade all my seeds/growing crops
- I have no time to plant a high value flower before the festival and my currently planted flowers will reach their harvestable stage on Day 10 (today)
- With what I currently have planted/active upgrades, the only flower I could potentially harvest as osmium-grade would be 3 Orchids which have fertilizer (by accident)
- An osmium orchid isn’t a horrible option for the festival, but if I didn’t harvest the flowers today and waited for the silver seed upgrade to activate tomorrow, could I reload Fall Day 11 to try and get an osmium fairy rose or would all of the flowers be quality-locked to the day they were harvestable, thus Day 10 rates?
- If they were locked to Day 10 rates, I could screw my chances of even getting the osmium orchid (reminder: since there are only 3 planted seeds with fertilizer on them atm)

TL;DR - trying to game the system and up my chances for an osmium fairy rose by waiting 1 in-game day when my silver seed upgrade activates to do the reload trick for different harvest-quality outcomes 🤔
