Tipps and tricks:

1. Early Focus on Leaves:
   • Begin by investing in leaves to maximize photon intake, as they are crucial for the plant's energy production through photosynthesis.
   • Higher photon intake will contribute to increased energy availability for other growth processes.
2. Strategic Branch Development:
   • Once a solid leaf foundation is established, invest in branches strategically. Branches enable more leaves and branches to grow, amplifying the overall photon intake.
   • Consider balancing branch and leaf growth to optimize energy production.
3. Root Expansion for Resources:
   • Allocate resources to root growth to enhance water and nitrate absorption. This ensures a steady supply of essential nutrients, contributing to overall plant health and growth.
4. Efficient Flowering:
   • Prioritize flower growth to generate seed mass, as this is the ultimate goal for scoring.
   • Regularly invest biomass in flowers to increase seed production and achieve the highest seed mass possible.
5. Starch Management:
   • Use starch strategically to sustain growth during the night when photosynthesis is halted. Be mindful of the starch limit and manage it efficiently to avoid interruptions in growth.
6. Weather and Environmental Considerations:
   • Take advantage of the consistent weather conditions in each run. Adapt your strategy based on the provided temperature, humidity, and rain levels.
   • Be cautious of transpiration rates, especially in higher temperatures and lower humidity, as they can affect water consumption.
7. Interactive Elements:
   • Engage with snails for amusement, understanding their role won't impact mass but adds an interactive element to the gameplay.
   • Click on occasional bees and mites to enhance the gaming experience, although they may not directly impact the main objective.
8. Optimize Time Management:
   • Utilize the time acceleration feature wisely to make each playthrough more efficient. Ensure your plant grows optimally within the 35-day timeframe.

Remember, experimentation is key. Refine your strategy through multiple playthroughs, adjusting based on outcomes and environmental variables. Balancing resource allocation and growth optimization will lead to the highest seed mass and, consequently, the best score.
