Notice you will not see an immediate change in growth, what will happen is that all crops and flowers in the farm that are still growing will be fully grown twice as fast from that point on.

You can irrigate a plant more than once, but it's growth speed will only double the first time. As before, you can irrigate only once per day.

When you use this tool on other people farms it behaves as if you were using the Brown Sprinkler, growing speed doesn't change.

This tool is an extension of the Brown Mobile Sprinkler, meaning, unlike the Manure Spreaders, you are irrigating the plants, not the farm, so if you plant new ones and you want them to grow twice as fast, you will have to irrigate them after you plant them.



I'm not sure if I've got this right, but I think we can only irrigate one crop per farm per day to double the speed of the crop. My crop that I used the red sprinkler on when it first came out has just been harvested, but now that I have replanted that farm, the red sprinkler will work, but not halve the time.

When I sprinkled the farm, it said 'A farm can only be irrigated once a day, and Raul says that each individual crop must be irrigated in order to halve the time frame ..... so I think I've got it right

Anyone know for sure if this is how it works ??
I cant get my head round it either - like you say it only seems to work once per day per farm. Would like a choice tho - I need to water flowers but dont want to speed up raspberries for example.
