Magical Crops (1.7.10), NEI shows that they can be planted on various non-soil blocks (like iron block, diamond block, etc). Does this make a difference in their growth at all?
Currently my farms are set up with Agricraft sprinkler over Reliquary Lilypads of Fertility, so the per-tick growth rate is well accelerated and I don't really need too much more in that regard (I could just use more sprinklers, pads, and agricarnations if I really need them to grow faster). I'm just curious if the soil used to plant seeds makes a difference (maybe in output rather than growth rate?).
