And the "gone to waste" clock starts to run the moment that the crop ripens. So, in the case of purple grapes, your total time from planting the crop to the moment it is wasted is 8 hours--2 hours to grow the grapes (half of the normal 4 hours), plus 6 hours until the product has gone to waste.
Another way to think of it is, total time from planting to "gone to waste" is 2 times the unwatered growing time.
Make sense?

When you use the Green sprinkler, the gone to waste time is extended according to what I stated above and it halves the growing time, you can see it posted in the game guide in section 21 tools. From the time of planting they will go to waste in 8 hrs without using any sprinklers, that is 4 hrs to grow and 4 hrs till waste, If the Orange sprinkler is used they will be ready in 2 hrs and still waste in 8 hrs. So planting without the sprinklers if you plant the grapes at 12 they will be ready at 4 and go to waste at 8, So if you plant the grapes and you use the green sprinkler as soon as you plant, you plant the grapes at 12 they will be ready at 2 which is in 2 hrs (half of 4 hrs), and the gone to waste time should be 28 hrs from time of planting. That is 4 hrs for the normal growing time plus the 24 hrs for a crop being under 1 day growing time and with the Orange sprinkler they would be ready at 2 (half of 4) and still go to waste at 8.
