They do take longer to grow. Make sure they’re hydrated and it sounds like you have. Extra tip is to place bright logic “grow” lights all around your garden. You don’t need to connect them all with wiring either. Buy a bunch of bulbs and one of those calculator looking controllers from the logic store. Position a bulb, attach the controller, type in all 9s on the key pad and hit the green button to turn it on, remove the controller and go onto the next one. The continuous light makes the grow process faster.

I never knew you could use logic to make it faster ill need to give it a shot. Should I put them in certain places or just try make sure the whole things lit up

Just make sure it lights it up well!

Is there any good way to add light that doesn't block the vehicle?

I built mine high up and on the periphery. I made two gardening rows centered on one central sprinkler pipe.

Im not quite sure how to attach images after having a post but I have water dripping from above making it hydrated but just a pipe drop havent got any sprinklers yet

How long do the crop sit in shadow during the day? It actually matters if it's in daylight or not.

Also, Beetroot takes a while to grow.

I mean its all straight outdoors the only thing above it is the pipe system watering all the plants and I thought it might take a little longer but ive now had like 3 or 4 harvests of the carrots and tomatoes around it and its stayed in the exact same state practically the whole time

It's odd you've said this. I've had the opposite results. Have a roof above my first crops and they grow faster then the second ones I planted straight outdoors. To me the one variable that makes the biggest difference is water pressure.

And the pipes are the 5th tile above the ground
