So today I bought 2 elite thickets to put on my alts. One is 14 the other is 15. 
 
I'm farming these on my 50.
 
On one, I am constantly getting things like 8x primal hardwood, 16x augmented hardwood. One the other 5x knotted, 16x ironbark 5x augmented - rough figures but that was the exact amount from my last harvest but so far it's been around that every time. 
 
Why is there such a great difference between the 2? I know they scale with level (I think?) but 1 level shouldn't make that much of a difference, especially at 14-15...right? Knotted is T1 and Primal is T4.
 
I will level it up when I can be bothered but this seems rather weird, does it not?

Might be a bug... Honestly I don't think you're supposed to be allowed to put an elite thicket on a character that low. Tier 4 you need to be lvl 42 (or there abouts) to put one on your plot.

			I remember hearing something that the Elite resource kits are bugged. They are only supposed to give T5 resources, but they function the same as Tier 4 fabkits to a degree. Not sure how accurate this is.

			Elite are the same as T4, just faster. 35% Faster resource spawns, for gardens 35% faster growth.  If you're getting something else it's probably bugged.

I know what they are meant to do, that isn't what the topic is about.

I think I may know what this is.
 
Your OP says that you're getting knotted and iron wood mixed in with the T5 wood. Sometimes when you upgrade your plug over an existing plug, the old plug still continues to grow what used to be there along with the new higher tiered one. I had similar issues when I changed tradeskills and plus from a relic to a thicket. I've noticed similar issues with other people's plugs too. The issue is usually fixed on a server restart. 
 
Not sure if that's what you've been experiencing but it's what it sounds like to me. Also as someone that is part of several farming circles with different tiered neighbours and farms them daily, you should be getting around 5 wood per tree(If you're harvesting your own plot) if you're using the correct harvesting tool.

This topic was about you being confused by the fact that you're getting wood amounts and types that are varied.
 
The link says that the elite thicket is identical to tier 4 (that is to say, augmented hardwood and primal wood are the drops) other than respawn rate. I fail to see how I missed the mark.
 
Beyond that, I am and have been in a thicket-specific circle for over a month and have seen this information corroborated by many people, many times. People who level alts to 14 to unlock housing and place an elite thicket get the same wood as people with tier 4 or elite thickets who are level 50.

			Yes the problem is when you place a harvest plug on top of another it will almost always bug like this. It should sort itself out at some point, I believe a server restart may fix it, but I don't know for sure. I have had the same thing happen and it eventually leveled out.
