However, Oak Resin is contested if the player is also expanding their supply of Kegs, and the supply of Coral is limited, so the player can only acquire unbounded amounts of fertilizer by purchasing. Nonetheless, it is readily possible to achieve a profit by using purchased Deluxe Speed-Gro.

For example, in the scenario of growing Starfruit in the Greenhouse for wine, the amount of additional starfruit produced in the limited growing area can be increased by ~45% using Deluxe speed grow. Assuming unlimited availability of Kegs for this calculation, each Deluxe Speed-Gro used results in 2250*0.45=~1012g of additional revenue and if considering Seed costs, then the final additional revenue would be (2250-400)*0.45=~832g (or +1237g with the Artisan skill). Given the price of 80g to purchase in the Oasis, the resulting profit is 1237-80 = 1157g per Deluxe Speed-Gro used.
