When you grow the two "base" types next to each other, there is a chance that they will be replaced by the special type. Its not a matter of unlocking. Its a matter of luck. (though at some point you also "unlock" them but I think that is a seperate random chance.)

Using the lower time treats can cycle quickly. at 5 min per root, you can quickly retry till you get the cubetuber instead. I had a pumpermelon surrounded by 3 cubes at one point.

Squashes vs berrries are a little harder. Squashes have the lower cycle time, but are costly. Berries are dirt cheap but take longer to cycle. I've been optimizing for cost for now.
