Sprinklers impact growth?
I noticed that when I added sprinklers to my farming system, it seemed to take much longer for my crops to mature. Is this normal?

I've not noticed anything like that. Are you sure you have your crops and sprinklers laid out wher they are all getting watered?

Yup, I've checked the water, everything is getting hydrated without an issue. I even did math for optimal spacing

How much longer are you suggesting they're taking to grow than normal?

Nearly twice as long. I planted mixed seeds in a neighboring plot without sprinklers on the same day i planted my main crops, and the parsnips in the mixed batch grew normally while it was a few days before the main field matured, and it was the same type of crop

To get a true comparison, you must make sure all of the parameters are the same. You hae to be comparing apples to apples, or in this case, parsnips to parsnips.

It sounds like you are comparing parsnip wild seeds to regular parsnips.

Try this --

Plant the same number of parsnips in a field with sprinklers and in a field without sprinker.

Water them both the day you plant them.

Then water the field without sprinklers and do not water the field with sprinklers.

Take a picture each day to document your progress.

And record on which day one or the other is ready to harvest.

Post pictures here.

Agreed, not hand watering the sprinkler plot the day you plant would make maturity one day later.
But there are no wild seed parsnips. Mixed seed parsnips are exactly the same as seed packet parsnips

Ohhhh okay that makes sense, it's just delayed growth. Good to know!
