Hybriding is the biggest thing to keeping the fun factor in AWL. Here are a few secrets to help you along.
You can start hybridizing (try saying that fast 10 times) once you get and befriend Tartan in Chapter 2.
Using Tartan
Combine crops to make 2nd Generation crops. Combine 2nd Generation crops to make 3rd Generation crops. You cannot combine crops and trees, nor can you combine different generations. Also, your success rate is not 100%. Check the TV to see if it's a lucky day.
Also, you can combine crops and crops in seed form, but no matter what, Tartan's end result will be a B-rank seed.
No matter what rank the combined crops are, the end result will be a B-rank seed, regardless of the hybrid's success or failure.
Crop ranks:
There are three ranks a crop/tree can be: B,A and S.
B: Normal rank. Seed bag is white.
A: Good rank. Seed bag is orange. Crop/tree will sell for more.
S: Excellent rank. Seed bag is blue. Crop/tree is at it's highest possible value.
You can use fertilzer to up ranks, but you will lose money on crops BIG time. On trees, it isn't so bad, but it's not good money-wise. Tartan is better.
Putting effects on crops:
You can put different effects into a crop to do different things. This doesn't work for trees. (see below)
·Combine a Happy Lamp with a crop to grow it in any season. A green dot will appear next to the Crop's name.
·Combine a Gemsoil with a crop to grow it in any field type. A black will appear next to the crop's name.
·Combine an UPseed with a crop to jump right away to S rank.
Mixing flower effects into a seed has a 100% success rate.
Jumping Tree ranks
Trees can be hybridized, like crops, but unlike crops, can not be comined with the effects of the special flowers. This means that normally, you would have to use fertilzer on your trees. But, there's a way to trick Tartan into rank jumping a tree.
Step 1: Take any crop in seed form that is S-rank.
Step 2: Take desired B-Rank tree you wish to make S-Rank and place it in the first slot of Tartan.
Step 3: Take the S-Rank crop and place it in the second slot.
Step 4: MAKE SURE THAT THE B-RANK TREE IS IN THE FIRST SLOT AND S-RANK CROP IS IN THE SECOND IN ORDER FOR THIS TO WORK.
Step 5: Use Tartan and there you go, an S-Rank tree without wasting thousands on fertilizer.
Also, this feature has a 100% success rate! ;D

Yes, generation 3 crops sell for more money then generation 1.

Well I tried that step by step to get S-rank crops\trees, but I end up with B-rank crops\trees.
