Pumpkin in FarmCapi: plant it before bed

The pumpkin is FarmCapi's most profitable crop: it becomes available at level 10, the seed costs 100 coins, it's ready in 8 hours with a single watering and each plot yields 2 to 4 pumpkins that sell for 135 coins each. Average profit is 305 coins per plot. In the current version (November 2026), it's made for overnight: the Shop itself describes the seed as "Great to plant before bed."

Pumpkin at a glance

How to grow pumpkins, step by step

1. At level 10, buy pumpkin seeds in the Shop (100 coins each).
2. Till with the Hoe, plant with Seeds and water once.
3. Before closing the game, make sure no plot was left unwatered.
4. Go to sleep. Pumpkins keep growing while the game is closed.
5. In the morning, clear weeds with the Hand and pests with Bug spray.
6. Harvest with the Hand and decide: sell, save for pumpkin sweet, or hold for an order.

Why the pumpkin earns the most

FarmCapi's balance makes coins per plot-hour climb with each long crop's level: 26 for tomato, 30 for corn, 33.8 for strawberry and 38.1 for pumpkin. XP per hour, on the other hand, stays nearly flat (10 to 11.5 per plot-hour). Pumpkins make you rich, not high-level.

The pumpkin also has the best return on seed: on average, every 100 coins spent come back as 405 (3.05×). It's the only crop that sells each unit for more than its seed costs (135 versus 100), so even the worst harvest, 2 pumpkins, nets 170 coins.

The pest risk on pumpkins

At 135 coins a unit, every weed or pest left on a plot is expensive: each one takes 1 pumpkin off the harvest, with a minimum of 1. A 3-pumpkin plot with 1 pest drops to 2, and you lose 135 coins. From level 2 on, moving into stage 2 and stage 3 rolls a 15% chance of weeds and a 10% chance of pests, and 2 pests stop growth.

Morning checklist:

1. Spray every plot that has pests (6 coins of Bug spray each).
2. Pull weeds with the Hand (1 XP each).
3. Only then harvest.

Fertilizer on pumpkins

Fertilizer cuts 30% of the time left in the current stage. On the pumpkin's last stage (3 h 20 min), used right at the start, it saves 1 hour for 12 coins, the best use of Fertilizer in the game. Handy when you want to harvest before leaving for work.

Where pumpkins are used

• Pumpkin sweet (doce de abóbora: "a festival treat, shaped like a heart," as the game puts it) at the Sweets kettle, from level 11: 2 pumpkins become 1 sweet in 1 h 30 min. It's worth 400 coins, 130 more than the raw pumpkins, and it's the priciest product in the game.
• Orders: Granny Coti asks for pumpkin sweet from level 12. See orders.
• Products: the full price list is on products.
