Check whether the crop loop works.
Fix timing if sessions miss the window.

Not ideal when

You need a one-number answer more than a route explanation
A recent patch already changed the assumptions and you have not checked updates yet
Your real question is about pet fit or route math, not editorial guidance

Timing is the base layer

If crops do not fit your session length, pet support may only hide the weakness. A route needs a workable timing loop before support can make it better.

Support matters after the loop is readable

When the crop loop pays back but feels rough, a pet can add comfort, event pressure, or mutation support. That is a better time to spend on pets.

Grow a Garden crop timing versus pet support decision — Crop timing and pet support solve different route problems.

Use one repair at a time

Changing timing and support together makes the next session hard to interpret. Repair the layer that is clearly failing first.
