 ::moreover, based on my observations, you have to water twice as often for the best results, and the max yield for older berries seems higher. those details are probably pretty important. ~Kendai
 :::Later on, I'm definitely gonna be revamping the page. Adding a "growth" section, possibly to each generation. '''[[User:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#FF0000">TTE</span>]][[User talk:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#0000FF">chidna</span>]]''' 18:25, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
-I managed to do some berry-watching, I have to say I was thinking it was a lot more complicated than it actually was, if what Gathered is correct. It seems the soil simply dries in the same amount of time it takes for the plant to grow a stage. Using route 218, i planted a pair of leppa berries, and a pair of razz barries. the razz dried the same time they grew the first stage. after that, I watered all the berries, and watered only one of each an hour later. the one watered later dried out later, and the one left unwatered completely dried at the same rate it dried the first step.
-Summary: It takes the same time as one stage of growth for soil to dry a step. This is based on berries grown during the DAY time period, on route 218, I hear some things like location or time of day may effect the rate, so I'll probably test the NIGHT period later in Solasceon or route 10.
+I did a careful watching of berry growth under many different factors. I planted berries in routes 208(normal), 212 (rainy), and 228 (sandstorm). each four-berry place had one plant each with growth and damp mulch.
-Setting aside time or location effects, basically this means you need to water berries BEFORE they grow each stage. if you wait until after the growth, the soil will already have dried a step, and it will probably count against your yield. it also means you'll have to water earlier for each "phase" since the goal is to water it again before it dries.
+Basically I found out that it's as simple as watering slightly more often. When a berry is planted, it starts with fully damp dark brown soil. if left alone, it will dry to orange-brown soil the same time it grows it's first stage, and dry out completely to a sandy color at the next stage. When the player waters berries with the sprayduck, the soil returns to the darkest color if it has dried, and will stay fully moist for the same amount of time it takes the plant to grow a stage.
-Well, all that was a bit long-winded, and it didn't reveal much, but that's what I've got. ~Kendai
+This seems to be a slightly more flexible system, as the watering time is not fixed to the four stages, any time the plants are watered the soil will stay damp for a full growth stage duration.
+However, I have seen cases of the soil drying faster than the plants grow. I'm not sure what causes this, as in my test the soil dried in sync with growth times in all three places.
