Midnight Race III

@Octroo I can't give any better advice than Northy as I learn from him, but if I may offer an observation from my own experience in this event. Somehow I managed to finish all races with crops to spare. I had a few 100% Harvest buffs (diamond slot) and some +1 Plant buffs (gold slot). I used these along with a Pinkest Pie to get the most time possible. I cleared both fields and put down 1x1 plots and had a few long grow trees around the edges. Initially, I planted event crops over and over. As I am able to harvest several times a day, I tried to harvest as crops became ready. I also used water, poo, Super grow and Susie's Super grow as much as possible on event crops. As I accumulated drops, I milled the XL cans and a few basic cans to start the race if needed. As you mention, drops were my challenge as well. My personal strategy was to make XL fuel cans and move ahead using the three forward pointing arrows. I stayed mostly in the same lane. Once I had a good stock of event crops, I switched to my longest grow crop and used water/poo, and if it was during the day and I had a good stock, I added some SG (green goo) to speed up the harvest time. I agree w/Northy that it seems drops increase as the days go by. I also agree that having space to grow/store items has been key for me to advance in the game, no matter which area I'm focused on. Good luck in all your farming goals!
