Migrating to Version 2

ḈḁṇṇḁḇḭṦḼ™ Version 2.10 is now available! As we migrate to Version 2 plants, it's a good idea to begin planning your breeding activities. A few things to bear in mind...

  • Version 1 LEs will not be officially released as Version 2 seeds. The last remaining V1 special edition, ROCKY MTN HIGH, will remain on sale at our stores until the 29th. After that, Version 1 will not be officially sold.

  • The only way to preserve older LE foliages is to "breed forward." This is the same as in the past: older male plants will breed with newer version females. The scripts and other components of the ḈḁṇṇḁḇḭṦḼ™ system are passed to offspring by the mothers.
     
  • Version 1 males with LE foliage are prime breeding stock! When they're mature, surround them with plenty of V2 girls. As in the past, there's a chance that the LE foliage will be passed to the offspring. But V2 has extended inheritance for foliage. So if your V1 male is a hybrid with a "double dose" of the LE foliage (like a ROCKY MTN HIGH X ROCKY MTN HIGH), you'll have an even better chance of extending the older foliage into the new version offspring! (See the V2 Grow Guide for more information about the odds for foliage inheritance.)
     
  • Ungerminated V1 seeds and bricks may be exchanged for store credit. Check ḈḁṇṇḁḇḭṦḼ™ Growers & Breeders Group messages for details. So when you're satisfied with your efforts breeding your LEs forward or tired of looking at a pack of V1 seeds, you will be able to trade them in for credit to buy new seeds. (RL pharmers would like that deal!)

    So there's plenty of fun to be had growing and breeding your remaining Version 1 seeds and seed bricks!

    Happy Growing! 

    P.S.  All Version 2 seeds purchased prior to 10 AM SLT, 23 April, need to be updated to ensure proper harvesting. Grab a free Update Transmogrifier at ḈḁṇṇḁḇḭṦḼ™ Central to get your seeds and plant working right! (If ungerminated seeds have "2.10M-7b" in their name, they have already been updated, and seed packs with Green rather than Yellow hover text are also updated. If in doubt, just grab a Transmogrifier and follow the easy instructions to update your babies!)

  1. As another footnote, there is no harm in running an update on a plant that is already updated. It's not necessary, but there's no problem with a double-update.

    Also, the update will not change the version number displayed in a plant's stats. This is because the M-7b update is only related to permissions, with no actual change in the scripts themselves. You can verify an update by viewing the plant's contents (EDIT > CONTENTS) and then checking the Properties for the "ovule" object inside the plant. This will show the 2.10M-7b version if the plant has been updated. (If the preceding makes no sense to you, don't worry about it! :) )
