ACNH Guide On Hybrids

[Khaelis]

I am trying for purple windflowers, so I bred two (potentially hybrid) red windflowers from a blue x red. The resulting red windflowers just spawned a blue windflower today. Does anyone know if that means those two reds have the correct genetics to eventually produce a purple?

Edit: pansies too, I suppose. I had two red pansies from a blue x red pairing and they also produced a blue pansie this morning. Does that mean they will eventually make a purple?

@Khaelis ?

Hey, sorry for the late reply. Just woke up.

So, for two red hybrid windflowers, half of the blue windflowers will be hybrid blues which have the same genetics as the ones you get from a hybrid flower island so they'll have better odds at a purple. However, the other half of them will just be typical blue windflowers which were spawned from two seed bag white windflowers.

The same as above also applies to pansies.

Trying to find info about discovering if a blue pansy is special or not by breeding it with a seed yellow, but now I can't find the info and desired result... help!

You can tell if a blue pansy is 'special/hybrid' if it spawns an orange pansy 50% of the time, as regular blue pansies will only yield yellow pansies when testing with a yellow pansy from a seed bag.

This thread and your guide are amazing! Thanks so much for helping me get this better under control!

Thank you! This guide is far from complete, though... got so much more I want to add over time.

All good, thanks so much for the help! The idea here is to breed special blue pansies together for 25% chance at purple, correct?

Yeah, the 'special' blue pansy, that I assume you are getting from two hybrid red pansies or hybrid red pansy + blue pansy, have the exact same genetics as the one found on a hybrid flower island. Two of them will produce a purple 25% of the time.

Wow, the thread looks gorgeous. Thanks for all of your work! I hope this gets stickied soon.

Unfortunately, it won't be stickied since it isn't important enough to warrant being stickied. I did ask about it, however a new section of the FAQ thread was added to add a "User-Created Guides and Tips" section, in which this guide was added to. Better than nothing, at least!

The only downside is I can't really bump this thread anymore since it sort of breaks the forum rules.



Glad you like the improved version of the guide! Still got a bit to do, though.

UPDATE!
​

I added in a little section at the start of the guide that lists off a few mechanics related to hybrids, as well as a proper introduction of sorts. With that, I can feel comfortable stating that I believe the guide is no longer under reconstruction!

However, I will still be added to the guide over time, depending on what my own personal findings come across or if a future game update adds in new flower species.

So 100% of the red+blue spawned red windflower buds will be "hybrid reds"? I've got a ton of those jerks with no purple windflowers to show for it.

just wanted to give an update I can confirm black tulips that spawn from orange tulips do indeed make purple tulips I now have all but the fabled blue roses.

I have a question.
I have my hybrids spread out on my beach but I don't seem to be having any luck spawning new sprouts. Do they not grow on the beaches?

They do not grow on beaches, only grass, dirt and sand PATHS.

Yes, If you're strictly using "hybrid reds" from a red-seed and blue windflower (from two white-seed), they only have a 6.25% per day. Just unlucky!

Do gold roses clone themselves? I'm assuming not, but I deeply don't want to deal with getting up to 5 stars right now for the golden can, not until I figure out my layout a bit better.

I don't think gold roses clone themselves? Though I suppose it wouldn't hurt to just leave one on its own to see if it yields any results.

 

[Khaelis]

So, bit of an update... though not to the guide (yet).

Current plan is that I'm going to add sub-sections to each species on additional methods of obtaining certain hybrids that are a bit more involved.

I may work on some tonight, though I may not get around to it until tomorrow or Saturday.

Okay, small update. I updated Method 1 of the blue rose section with a less stressful method four-step method thanks to a video DazzaBound on Youtube uploaded. Section also includes his video, for those who would prefer to watch it.

When performing step 2 of the long way to get blue roses, what is the best way to arrange the purple and yellow flowers in order to test if they are keepers or not?

Hi I was somewhere for rose breeding that said I should breed orange and purple to get red. Then those reds have a chance for blue. Is this wrong? If so I will take those and use them with colors on your guide for blue Rose's. Thanks again for taking the time to create this guide for the rest of us to use.

That is correct. It is a method you could use and it was on this guide previously but I replaced it with a different method (Method 1 on guide), as the Purple + Orange method requires 50/50 luck for the correct red with no good way of testing it. The new method I replaced it with produces the same hybrid red roses the method you mention creates with 100% chance (though only 12.5% chance to grow), so no 50/50 luck.

I would stick to just using breeding pairs on their own to minimize things accidentally mixing together.

Thanks so much for making this guide, it definitely helps me understand hybrid breeding a bit more!
