donnyuk78 91 Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) Good morning, This is probably a stupid question but when growing seeds do you need to water them? Also do you have water them every day? I would assume so but you never know in dayZ 👍😂 Kind regards DonnyDanger78 Edited May 21, 2019 by donnyuk78 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MetalHead2112 43 Posted May 21, 2019 Water them once when you plant them. They will be gone at the next server restart, they're not persistent. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PondjectsKilla 20 Posted May 21, 2019 Water, harvest, clean plant matter, then take the pepper or whatever to hand and combine with knife to get more seeds... Start again you will only get one harvest off each planning/watering 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DayzDayzFanboy 1280 Posted May 21, 2019 As above, plus, the collected debris can be used as fertiliser. I think you can also use lime to fertilise but I've never bothered. I think I also read somewhere that you can use disinfectant spray on the plants if they become diseased, but never tried this. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheYetiBum 790 Posted May 21, 2019 Also water after planting. If you water before planting the seed it will freeze or crash your game currently 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did find four guys growing sea chests full of zucchini though, watched them for about forty minutes through my Atog scope as they were appearing & dissapearing from the server until there was about 15 sea chests. They all had VSD's on there backs too weirdly as I've not seen one spawn in many months. Would have taken the shot but figured why waste bullets when they'll most likely just grow more VSD's. Did grab a few zucchini from a seachest after they left though. Nice to fill my characters belly before I uninstalled the broken ass game.

donnyuk78 91 Posted May 21, 2019 Hi, Thanks for the info ... Another question on growing , how long do they take to grow? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MetalHead2112 43 Posted May 21, 2019 They don't take very long to grow to be honest. Maybe and hour to an hour thirty to fully grown. kinda spoils it really but I bet Asda or Tesco would be interested. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
donnyuk78 91 Posted May 21, 2019 Ok ok so could be worth growing then ..... Food for though there Yea i bet they would be @MetalHead2112 👍😂 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DayzDayzFanboy 1280 Posted May 21, 2019 I'm not even sure it takes that long. The last time I grew crops it took maybe ten minutes. Not sure if it's changed in recent updates but you could grow a ton of food and store it in barrels. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
