Implemented Slow grow intentional?

I've noticed that plants and saplings are growing at a super-duper slow rate.

I wasn't sure if this was intentional or not.

I'm hanging around my base, and the sugar cane I planted, well, I was sure it wasn't growing up till I saw a single growth on top of 1 of the 10 I had planted. So it's happening, just one growth in 5 hours seems suspect.

 

mine grow very fast.
I uses IC2 crops-
When i get on i will show you. you can see the speed.

 

Crhymez can you use the ic2 crops with other mods ?

 

i think its IC2 and vanilla.
Melons, sugarcane, pumpkins, potato, carrots.

Most people dont know this but IC2 can grow redstone and ores. Its kinda like magic crops. But this has been around since early IC2

 

Is there a link for how to grow those ores ? or something that can explain me the process of how the crops work

 

on third video at about 11:00 he explains the plants to get iron...ect
*i have watch too many videos...lol

 

Sweet. I've used the crops before on MYG, sorta. I had really mixed results. Some of the stuff wasn't harvestable, but I'll take a good look at this.
