I planted grain seeds on three characters, 10 pots per character, one after the other on Saturday night. They were planted within a few minutes of one another. I have been examining them about once per real life day, all at the same time.

When I checked them today around noon, Tanstaafl's plants had all progressed past the crystal feeding stage (too late to feed) while Andres' and Mariela's had not even entered the crystal feeding stage. Then, I examined all plants. I guess I didn't notice Tanstaafl's plants being 'ahead' yesterday, or it progressed very fast through that stage.

Six hours later, I was checking to see if it was crystal feeding time, and I noticed Tanstaafl's plants had withered. Mariela's were ready for a crystal and Andres' were not.

It seem like something is wrong if your plants can wither in six hours.

Maybe the characters being out of sync is normal, but I haven't ever seen them be more than one phase ahead like this.

The wiki suggests fast wilting like this should not be possible.

"You should "Examine" all plants at least once per earth day and experience has shown once in the morning and once in the evening each earth day is better."

I also had this happen, where plants wilted after 6 hours. right after the weirdness with plants in stasis. hasn't happened since then though.

Can confirm this has occurred today for me as well. One character has sped forward to feeding while the other 2 characters are not at that stage yet. All seeds planted within 10 minutes of each other.

Just had this happen to me today. All three mules planted within 2 minutes of each other. All characters checked on the same days. All characters have moghancement. One character's plants randomly withered. Putting in a GM ticket as well.

Just happened again, Freedomfry plants are health and plants on Magicmike and Princeofspace skipped ahead in cycle and withered.
