== Weeds ==
Weeds are a crop that will spread to empty crop sticks and destroy many other crops. Weeds and weed-like crops with higher growth stats attempt to spread weeds more often. Weeds can be removed using a Weeding Trowel or a Crops++ Spade or by breaking the crop stick and replacing it. Normally, weeds will only naturally spawn on empty crop sticks or double crop sticks. This means that you only need to watch for weeds while cross-breeding; once you have a full field of crops being automatically harvested, weeds will no longer be able to spawn. Weeds also spread normal tall grass to adjacent grass blocks.
 
However, there is an exception to this. Normal crops with 24 growth or higher are also considered weeds (or "weed-like") when they are at a growth stage of 2 or more (Venomilia, an exception, is weed-like when it is at its 5th growth stage and it has a growth stat of 8 or higher). Specifically, this means that the crop will attempt to spread weeds (real weeds, not copies of themselves) to adjacent empty crop sticks or to other crop sticks that do not contain weeds, overwriting any crops inside. However, other weed-type crops are immune to this effect. Because some crops do not revert all the way to their first growth stage upon harvest, this means that a standard, flat, fully filled field can contain a stable population of automatically harvested high-growth crops without needing to apply Weed-EX if the following conditions are met:
