Weedtimes Mag

What this is

A register, and a magazine about it

The first player in the world to breed a generated strain names it. Not the first in their save - the first, full stop, decided by when the claim reaches this server.

Weedtimes Mag belongs to BreedToSeed, a breeding mod for Schedule I. Two halves: a reference for all 723 strains the mod can produce, and a record of who bred each of the 684 generated ones first.

Left to be first at, tonight

666

of the 684 generated crosses have never been bred by anybody. 55 of them have both parents on the record already.

How you get on it

  1. 01

    Put two plants under one tent

    Any two strains you hold can share a breeding tent, and cutting them gives you a seed of whatever they make. If nobody in the world has bred that cross before, the claim is yours. In co-op the tent's owner gets the credit, not whoever cut the plant.

  2. 02

    The claim files itself

    It is written into your save first and reaches this server when it can, so breeding one offline still counts, and so does breeding one before you have ever linked your game. The race is decided by arrival here rather than by your clock: a find that waits three days can lose to one bred later and filed sooner.

    Name it, permanently

    Breeding it is enough to hold the naming right, and the right keeps - the name can follow hours or days later, from the Weedtimes Mag app on the in-game phone or from your entries here. Once it is on the register it shows up on that strain in every other player's game.

How high the tree goes

39 strains are authored - designed, named, and the same for everyone. The 741 pairs they make include the 57 crosses somebody wrote down; the other 684 are generated from their parents by a fixed rule, and those are the ones with nobody's name on them.

The ceiling

A generated strain sits at its higher parent's tier, never above it. So a lucky pairing is a sidegrade with a different set of effects, never a shortcut past the authored tree.

There is no randomness anywhere: the same cross gives the same strain in every player's game, on every machine. That is what makes one shared register possible at all.

Outside the count. Two more strains exist that are not crosses and are not in the 723. In the game a counter says how many of the two you have and nothing else. They are not in this register either, so nothing on this site will ever tell you what they are.

Why half the register says ???

A cross is listed by its parents, and a parent nobody has bred yet is written ???. It resolves for everyone the moment the first player in the world breeds that strain.

One parent known

Granddaddy Purple x ???
one side is out there already
tier not known yetOpen

The tier is held back as well. A cross sits at its higher parent's tier, so printing it beside a hidden parent would hand that parent over by subtraction.

Both parents known

Granddaddy Purple x Grape Crack
both parents known - breed it and the name is yours
tier 1Open

Nothing is hidden here and nothing is named yet, so the tier prints in full. The register sorts these to the top: they are the rows anybody can act on tonight.

That puts the 35 authored hybrids in the same game as the generated ones. Working out what a cross needs is itself a discovery, and the register stops being a lookup table you read once. It gets written as people play.

The four base strains are never hidden - they are on sale in the seed shop from the first minute, and pretending otherwise would say nothing true. A cross nobody has bred has no page here at all yet, for a plain reason: a page's address is built from its parents, so it would give away in the address bar exactly what the page was withholding.

In the game the same fog is drawn from your save rather than from the world, because that is what a player means by "discovered". Somebody else's progress does not lift it.

What a name may be

  • 2 to 20 charactersit has to fit on the seed vial's printed label
  • Letters, numbers, spaces, hyphens, apostrophesnothing else
  • No accented letters, no emojithe game draws them as empty boxes
  • Unique across the whole registercase and spacing are ignored, so "Sunset Haze" and "sunsethaze" are one claim
  • No trademarks, no real peoplethe mod already renamed three strains away from those

Moderation, honestly

A name is scored when it arrives. Most go live immediately - waiting for a human would ruin the moment somebody just earned. A name that trips the filter waits for review instead, and a name that should never have gone live can be taken down afterwards, in which case the cross goes back to being open.

Players who would rather not see other people's names in their own game can turn that off in the mod's settings. Their register entries still count.

  • Open nobody has bred it
  • Claimed somebody holds the naming right, and nobody else can take that cross
  • In review a name arrived and a person has to read it first
  • Taken the name is on the register
