Dandelion Weight Scaling in Garden Horizons
A typical Dandelion weighs around 0.07 kg at harvest. Crop weight has a major impact on sell price —the scaling is quadratic, meaning a crop twice as heavy as average earns roughly 4× more at the market. Weight is determined randomly at harvest time, so heavier Dandelion crops are naturally more valuable. Using the Garden Horizons Calculator, you can input any custom weight to see the exact sell price.
