However, 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 even by purchasing 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.
