It is Possible to Plant Cotton?

[D.A.R.K.]

I'm new in the game and I did a farm to acquire some Cotton and do the Teddy Bear Quest, I search in wikia about how to farm: http://starbound.wikia.com/wiki/Farming and there don't tell how much time needs to wait to grow the Cotton.

I did plant it, it was fast at the start, until the last cycle, fully grow, it's like the Cotton Plant we find around the world, but without the Cotton to collect, just the stalk...

What should I do to grow Cotton to collect?

You gotta water it with a watering can.

Or set up a farm on a planet they gets Rain. Then as long as nothing is obstructing the Rain from hitting your tilled land/crops they will start growing on their own. Letting you totally forget about them and explore. When you return they should have grown at least a little bit.

Note that it does take a while for even frequently watered crops to fully grow and produce items. For me my Cotton Plants make Cotton every 1-2 Days, depending on how much Rain I get.

I know, I did that, but when it grows, it grows only the stalk, not the Cotton.

When you say 1-2 Days you mean in real life or in game time?

It takes more time for the cotton to respawn.
