Step by Steps explanation

In order to be able to do this shuffle, you must do the following:

 Have an alt army to take advantage of this shuffle. Each alchy alt with this CD adds to the profit margin and snow balls up your profit.

 Learn BFA Alchy and level to 50 skill to learn Transmute: Herbs to Anchor Weed.

 Scout the Auction House for Cheese BFA herbs in order to do the Daily CD.

 Perform the Transmute: Herbs to Anchor Weed's each day on each BFA Alchemy alt.

 Complete the Alchemy: Silas's Tools of the Trade quest line in order to use Silas' Potion of Prosperity: https://ptr.wowhead.com/item=156633/silas-potion-of-prosperity when going to craft.

 When you possess enough mats and ready to transmute, use the Silas' potion each hour in order to proc Silas' Potion of Prosperity: https://ptr.wowhead.com/item=156633/silas-potion-of-prosperity.

Tips and Tricks

When doing this farms, be aware the more the following:

The more alts you have, the more this gold farm method ramps up in gold earning potential. You can still absolutely earn gold with this not being an alt army, it just won’t be as much but profits still exist.
For alt armies, I noticed I am making so much stacks of flasks that I begun selling Anchor Weed stacks. Can do that or just save them for later if you’d like.
Periodically throughout the day scan the action house for the BFA Herbs cheap as those mats are required for the Daily Anchor Weed CD.
Ensure you possess and leverage Sila’s Potion of Prosperity with Rank 3 Flask cooldowns

Use Silas' Sphere of Transmutation until this item procs, then begin crafting
