Breeding Carnations help please ^^

[Shonnie666]

I am looking to start breeding carnations along with my other hybrids.

From websites I am getting alot of mixed answers as to how to breed each of these, so I am looking for anyone who has experience in breeding these flowers to give me a little help here

This is the information I can find regarding these, I would appreciate it if anyone can point out which is true/false (And which is the best combination if you know ^^ ) :

Breeding Pink Carnation:
Red/White
Pink/Red
Pink/White

Breeding White Carnation
Pink/Pink
Pink/White
White/White
(Another source says Red/White)

Breeding Red Carnation
Red/Red??

Thanks in advance

I recently bred some myself.

Those charts seem correct. I used the chart from bidoof crossing's tumblr.
What helps big time, is fertilizer. If yo uhave that, you WILL grow another carnation the next day, and it WILL be a hybrid.
Just leave space for it to grow.

F= flower
x = fertilizer

FF
FX

Leave space around it

Thanks for your input

I don't have the upgraded garden store yet for fertilizer but I seem to be doing okay only going for certain hybrids a day, watering ONLY those, gets me around 4-5 per day ^^

Ahh just had a look at that page you mentioned,
looks like my best bet for each is:

Red = Red/Red
Pink = Red/White
White = White/White

3 extra flower patches only I will need, great! ^^ (Running out of space D: )

Thanks! ^^

Once you try a fertilizer, you'll never wanna go back to the old fashioned planting ways.
It's not so easy getting ahold of some, there's only one per day. I get them from friend's towns.
But recently my friend came an dropped a load of fertilizers. I'm like thanks o_0

I'm a carnation breeder, I plan to full my town with just carnations. An a few hybrids. No regular flowers. SIcne hybrids breed more hybrids anyways

I had a pink white and a few reds, some idiot stole my pink, white, and left me with one red.

Ugh.

Yeah I am planning on opening a little hybrid shop
I have patches set out around town for breeding each specific hybrid
I have some basic flowers around for breeding colours like pink and orange, but for the others I am using hybrids to breed (Well I only have a few of each atm, sitting next to the basics that breed the same colour). As I get more of the hybrid, I am replacing the basics, since the hybrids will work better.

Hope all my rambling made sense xD

But I will definitely try out the fertilizer as soon as I can obtain some ^^

I need 2 red's and 2 white carnations to start me off apparently
Are you selling them?

 

[Nooblord]

How do you get carnations anyways. I got red ones on father's day and my friend gave me a white one, that's how I bred pink ones.
Is there any other way to get them?

 

[MattKimura]

two pinks make white, or pink. Red and white make pink.
So all you'd need is two pinks, and one white to go along with your one red.
I wouldn't mind sharing some

You get red carnations on father's day, and pink on mother's day. Basically we have them cuz someone else time traveled.
The white carnations are the hybrid. They grow from pink x pink
Carnations are rare, you need a friend to let you borrow theirs in order to get more carnations. You only get one on each day (Father's an Mother's day)

I wouldn't mind buying a few from you if you are selling?

Looks like i'll need 2 white & 2 Red to start me off? (I currently have none)

I have plenty of bells, I know the White ones are a little on the expensive side

 

[MattKimura]

I'll sell two pinks and a white for 30k. I'm lacking in whites, but have a ton of pinks. Pinks make white.

Are you sure? I can pay quite a bit more than that for them, especially the white, I am sure they are usually quite expensive to buy on the forums.

 

[MattKimura]

I don't like to charge others, I usually do things free. I'm not in need of money really.
I believe white an white makes all carnation colors. I never tried breeding the two.

 

[Scribbler397]

Could I also buy some? I have been posting on the retail forum for weeks, but no one has responded.

 

[Shonnie666]

Red x White = Pink
Red x Pink = White/Pink
Red x Red = Red
Pink x White = White/Pink
Pink x Pink = Red/White/Pink
White x White = White

So I should be able to get the Reds also from just the white and pink

And if you are totally sure about that price then I would love to buy them from you

 

[MattKimura]

Another buyer, hmm. I can't sell right now, but I can later. I'm gonna go out in a bit. I'll definitely get back to you guys later.
Only thing I'd really want is wifi rating

That's no bother to me, I am still moving my flowers around anyway so that will give me time to find exactly where the carnations are going

And I always give wi-fi rating anyway, I trade quite alot and always appreciate it myself ^^

 

[Scribbler397]

I would be happy to give you a good wifi rating! It is good to know that there are others who actually care about the rating system. So many people disregard it completely.

You could always join my group to learn more on hybrids if you'd like! There is a main page that has all of the tips on it.

I'm okay, not into groups, would rather just speak on the forums.
Plus I already know what I need to about hybrids, was just checking on carnations.

Best of luck finding members though ^^
