When will my crops be ready?

Question

I have started growing food on my farm, and I was wondering how long it takes to grow.

I planted my crops in the early hours of this morning, before the normal server/daily quest reset time but after midnight server time. I have heard two theories regarding how long your crops take to grow;

• 24 hours from the point in time they were planted, ie: if you plant at 2am, they will be ready the next day at 2am
• At midnight, ie: if you plant at 11pm, at midnight your crops will be ready for farming

How does farming work in World of Warcraft? When will my crops be ready?

Answer 1

Your crops will become ready for harvesting at midnight server time - this means that regardless of the time of day you plant your crops (including 11:59 server time), your crops will be ready at midnight.

Answer 2

After you plant your crop and do anything else necessary for it to survive. Click on the crop again and it will have a timer under it. Do the math with the server time or your own time depending on how you have it set. Then you will know when your crops will be ready every time.
