Hi mylilstina yes, you get one candy per hour per crop. Most people, including myself, plant 20 hour crops overnight to get a big payoff and to make sure there aren't any passing hours that don't yield food/candies. Also, you can collect candies by hatching eggs, so whenever I have a free nest, I purchase either Air, Water or Light Dragons to hatch & sell to help my count. Good luck & hope you have fun!! If you have any other questions, these forums are filled with super nice & helpful folks!

Anybody having problems getting into storm 8 games??? Keeps saying I'm not connected to the internet on both iPhone & ipad but everything else is working fine....Please help!!!!
Problems? Oh yeah. Some games won't even start on my tablet, but weirdly enough they work perfectly fine on my phone. Sometimes it's the other way around. Some games crash regularly (ahem, Dragon Story). And sometimes it says I don't have an internet connection, but I certainly do (exactly like your problem). Usually I have to restart my tablet or just wait for a couple minutes (an hour tops).

Usually you get 1 item, in this case cursed candy, per hour of grow time. You will eventually get the candy from buff beets, but only after you have planted enough for an hours worth of growth.
Personally, I found it to be a lot less hassle to plant a 20 hour crop, and a five hour crop once a day or so.
Good luck and enjoy your first event. :-)
