Get Sapplings to 3-4 depending on which one lets you 1 shot the caster minions (varies depending on runes/masteries) then leave it there and max R>W>Q finishing off E in the last couple levels. This way you get maximum farm while mana starving yourself the least amount possible AND maximizing your utility fairly early.
