Greedy Growers Growth Calculator — Ticket Income Model
Published: 2026-07-21 · Last updated: 2026-07-27
Tree value comes from seed cost, growth time, sell price, and how often you water. Estimate income per minute before planting — it is the math behind the tier list and farming routes.
What drives income
- Seed cost (tickets to buy)
- Growth time (shorter = more cycles)
- Sell price (higher = more tickets per harvest)
- Watering (manual clicks roughly halve growth time)
- Plot size (more trees = more parallel harvests)
Estimate tickets per minute
A simple model: tickets-per-minute ≈ (sell price − seed cost) / growth time in minutes. A cheap seed that sells for a small profit but grows fast usually beats an expensive seed with a bigger margin but long wait — early on. As you unlock the auto-waterer and bigger plots, the math shifts toward higher-value seeds. Use this to compare options before committing.
Data accuracy
The formula above is a planning estimate. Real in-game values (seed cost, growth time, sell price) change with updates — confirm current numbers before pricing a big planting run.
FAQ
Does watering really matter?
Yes — manual clicks roughly halve growth time, which nearly doubles cycles per minute and therefore tickets.
