Best way to get maximum weeds?

[Quill]

I'm TTing my second town to temporarily make it a weeding town. Is there a commonly accepted best way to grow the most weeds in the shortest amount of time? I've heard similar results from TTing three days at a time and a year at a time, has anyone done it?

I don't know the shortest time. But once I travelled a year just because I was curious what happenend. Then, I travelled back again one year. Oh boy, my town was a mess.
I think it's important that the games 'knows' you TTed. One day isn't enough, I recommend to travel at least 2 at once and ofc have switched off beautiful town ordinance if you have it. :>

I definitely turned off the beautiful town ordinance! I went through last night and traveled forward one year at a time, each time spawned about ~60 weeds. I'm hoping to get the badge for my main town, as that town is FILLED with hybrids and I couldn't dream of turning off the ordinance to let weeds grow. And I'd like to be able to open the gates and let others come and pick weeds as well.

I usually do 2 weeks at a time. Walk around town and clean up all the clovers and dig up the stars to make room for more weeds.
Each time I check with Leif to found out the amount. Still not enough I keep jumping ahead. I usually keep going until I reach a year of time travel. I've got more than 60 weeds for the year. It's been awhile since I've time travel for weeds but it can be 200 to 300 weeds. Wilted flowers count as a weed.

Each day you should 2 new weeds. When the town is running out of room for weeds I'll weed before the year is over. With the new update the villager will move out and mess up your weeds. Before the update I had a spare town and the villagers never moved. The mayor lived in a tent and never spoke to them. With the update the villager now move.

Time traveling is the best method. It’s actually quite effective!

I'll try two weeks at a time, thanks!

Also that's funny, I find since the update I lose villagers less often. But that also could just be that i've gotten better at checking.

Before the update you could make a town, build a tent, never sit in the mayor chair and never speak to the villagers. For 3 long years the villagers never moved and all player living in the town didn't speak to the villagers. The spare town was for growing weeds and some perfect fruit. After the udpate was added 2 days in and Isabelle said a villager was leaving town. That's the part of the update I don't like.

@Feraligatr: I couldn't imagine trying to grow enough weeds for a badge without time traveling at all! That would definitely be a challenge

@stitchmaker: I didn't know that... that could definitely be useful for when I restart!

If I remember correctly, does Time Traveling a day at a time produce more weeds than just doing a single large time jump?

 

[Mr_Persona]

I only time travel one at a time because I don't want one of my villagers to move out.
