Maybe you want to grow something more impressive than the tiny potatoes your plants probably produced. Or perhaps you got unlucky and harvested only one of each. A plant's stats determine all this and more, and true botanists are unafraid to PLAY GOD and change them!

* Lifespan: When the age is above lifespan, the plant starts losing health. Between 10 and 100. Not important at all in plants that can only be harvested once, unless they die before harvest. Barely useful for the other ones, because you can always plant it again.

*Yield: How much product you get each harvest. Between 0 and 10. Pay attention to this, because if it drops to 0, you won't harvest anything.

*Maturation Speed: Age cycles before the plant can start production. The first harvest will be (Maturation Speed + Production Speed).
* Production Speed: How fast your plant reaches harvest. Between 1 and 10 -- the '''lower''' the faster. The plant has to wait (Production Speed) age cycles before each harvest.  
*Production Speed: How fast your plant reaches harvest. Between 1 and 10 -- the '''lower''' the faster. The plant has to wait (Production Speed) age cycles before each harvest.
* Potency: The most important stat. Between 0 and 100. Basically, this determines plant power. Mostly affects the amount of chemicals in the plant, though some have additional effects, such as stun length for bananas. To get the amount of a given chemical in a plant, multiply the reagent in the chart by the potency: for example, 10% nutriment will be 5 nutriment at 50 potency.

=== Mutations ===
=== Mutations ===
To change the stats, you need to mutate your plant. Keep in mind that mutations are ''completely random'', but you can do a more efficient job depending on how much you're willing to cooperate with other departments.

* Of your starting fertilizers, '''E-Z Nutriment''' makes the plant mutate once every time it's ready to harvest. '''Left 4 Zed''' makes it mutate twice, but you'll have to replace the nutriment to actually harvest something! Finally, regular '''nutriment''' has a very small chance to mutate the plant into a different specie.

Finally, regular '''nutriment''' has a very small chance to mutate the plant into a different species.
 
*You can speed up the process drastically by using [[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable_Mutagen|unstable mutagen]] (Use your [[#Biogenerators|biogenerator]] or ask the [[Chemist]]). The effects of mutagen depend on how much you use. Best applied after transferring it to an empty spray- / condiment-bottle, for greater control over the amount used (Right-click -> Set transfer amount). Pour 5 units on your plant and prepare for...
**10% chance of the plant losing lots of health instantly. The plant can die because of this.
**10% chance of mutation into a related species. This destroys the old plant and plants a new one. See the plants table for information on these mutations.
**15% chance of a '''hard mutation'''.
**25% chance of a '''soft mutation'''.
** 20% chance of nothing. You get a message when this happens.
** 10% to grow some weeds.
** 10% to produce pests.
Or, if you don't want to bother with species mutation, pour 2 units for a guaranteed hard mutation, or even 1 for a guaranteed soft mutation. This method is mostly safe (if a plant mutates weed growth rate 10 its tray can be instantly overtaken) even if you don't have backup seeds, but you need a dropper/fertilizer bottle for this.
*You can use '''radium''' and '''uranium''', but they cause ill effects, and if you can get radium, you can get mutagen.
*Make sure the plant has a yield of at least 1 before harvest, in case the yield has been changed to 0 by repeated mutations.
*R&D can also make a wonderful thing called a '''Floral Somatoray'''. It has two options: Increase yield and mutate the plant. In yield more mode, every time you fire it at the plant, there is a chance the yield will increase. The chance becomes very small when you reach high levels, but it's very useful for low-yield plants. It can even raise yield from zero! In mutation mode, it will always induce a soft mutation.
 
Further details about the effects of various chemicals are in the expandable tables below.
 
==== Hard Mutations ====
*-4 to +4 to lifespan
*-10 to +10 endurance
*-2 to +2 production
*-4 to +4 yield
*-50 to +50 potency
* -4 to +4 weed rate
* -10 to +10 weed chance
*3% to mutate a new trait
 
==== Soft Mutations ====
*-2 to +2 to lifespan
*-5 to +5 endurance
*-1 to +1 production
*-2 to +2 yield
*-25 to +25 potency
*-2 to +2 weed rate
*-5 to +5 weed chance

Fertilizing trays with earthsblood (grow [[Guide_to_plants#Details:_Ambrosia_gaia|Ambrosia Gaia]])will slowly upgrade them. You can check the progress by examining the tray. Upgraded trays will glow, need no water / nutrients and be resistant to pests and weeds. They will keep the effect of the last fertilizer, so you might want to use robust harvest before fully upgrading them.

*Potency of the seed will make kudzu mutate more on spread (The chance to mutate on each new piece is potency / 10).
* Production will affect how fast the kudzu can spread, usual kudzu spreads at a rate of 20% of the amount of pieces per tick but no more than 30, production changes the cap (30 * production / 50) and the percent of processed pieces per tick (20 * (production / 50)).

Killing the last piece of kudzu will create a kudzu seed on its place with all the mutations of the piece saved in the seed, so if you reactivate it new first piece will have all the same mutations the seed has and will spread it to all the progenitors.

=== Sandstone and Soil ===
===Sandstone and Soil===
If you grow some [[Guide_to_plants#Grass|grass]] seeds, harvest it and then pick up the grass and use it (click on it in your hand), you will prepare grass tiles. Get a crowbar and remove some floor tiles, then place grass tiles in their place. In addition to looking nice, it can be used to get some sand. Just dig it with your spade and you'll get two piles. Now, pick up the sand and use it; you will make a sandstone brick. Using three bricks, you can make a soil plot, which is like a tray, except you can walk over it and there are no lights. You can also build a sandstone door with 10 bricks.

Science can [[Guide_to_advanced_construction#Hydroponics_Tray|build]] hydroponics trays. They can also upgrade them by replacing the matter bins, and this increases the water and nutrient capacity of the tray.

=== Wood and Drying Racks ===
===Wood and Drying Racks===
First you need to get some [[Guide_to_plants#Towercap|tower-cap]] seeds, grow them and harvest them. You can then use a hatchet (and some other things, but it's not important) on the logs to chop some [[Guide_to_construction#Planks|planks]]. They have many uses: You can make chairs, tables, wooden floors and so on. A unique thing here is a drying rack. You can use it to dry a plant, and then smoke it. First, build a rack with 10 planks or find the ones in the botany back room (through maintenance). Then, grab a plant you want to dry and put it in the rack. Click on the rack and toggle drying so that the red arrows light up. Give it a few seconds and it's done.

Note: You can dry ''any'' plant and smoke it to consume all chemicals that were in it. You can smoke dried apples if you want, and get nutriment from them.
