when it was ripe the time to waste started at 2.7 hrs(162 minutes)
i monitored it over the next 162 minutes (2.7 hrs)
there was no change in appearance untill the time to waste timer ran out
the field was unharvestable by any means
(and i have all the harvesters and the combine)

this was a true test carried out in a methodical fashion and the findings speak for themselves

1 . the time to waste timer is accurate
2. at least for raspberry there is no appearance change until the time to waste has run out
3. when it was showing wilted wasted plot it was not harvestable
Guess I should have looked in here first Dave. I got up and planted a field of raspberries with the intent of letting them go to waste and see if the time was or if they wastes sooner. Guess I'll just harvest them and add them tomy other 29,000 raspberries...
I just wonder if the time has been this way all a long and the developers just told us the time was equal to the ready time.
