Useless if just for growing purposes, but I'm guessing you want to automate the process of getting 10/10/10.

Have you tried autonomous activators?

Trying them now, but also trying to figure out a way to harvest the unidentified seeds,

What pack is this for?
Depending on how agricraft is configured you can try setting up a line of 15 farm blocks in a "U" shape with the initial seed on the 1st block then double crop sticks on the rest.
In packs configured like Regrowth this will allow the crop up upgrade as it proceeds around the "U". 2 trips through and you have a 10/10/10.
Some packs though, line infinity, only allow upgrading between 2 like crops. In this case then time and a watering can is the fastest way to upgrade.
I got everything I needed for beef wellington at 10/10/10 during a 3 hour session. This included cross breading to get the needed crops and upgrading everything to 10/10/10 as I went.

Sky Factory. Added Agricraft for the challenge.
Block breaker above pointed down to break cross crop seeds.

Problem is you will have to time the placing of crop sticks and seeds, then the cross crop sticks and time for growth.

I wish you luck

Got the crop set-up ok, but new plant won't start as there's no direct line of sight to the sky. If there's something above it, it won't grow and I waited 20 minutes for one to start.

Right.... forgot about that.
How about using the activators east/west of your plot, breaker,activator north/south?

This would only give you one space for cross breeding but may work if you can time the placements right

I haven't used it yet, but the GUI for the computer controlled seed analyzer looks like it will automate everything from removing weeds to detecting when crops are ready to crossbreed. In theory, it should work for the automation you're looking for.

Anyone have a video for that? I'm not into computercraft stuff as I can't understand lua.

Sky Factory. Added Agricraft for the challenge.
I added it myself because I like not having to replant stuff, as well as breeding. I have to admit now, by making 10/10/10 versions of magical crops, the mod becomes kinda easy mode. You can use just MFR harvesters, and you will need an AE system, or some DSU's just to store all the resources. The amounts you get aren't really an issue to me. I play singleplayer, so it is only running while I am playing. If I was on a server, or left my pc running, I could get similar amounts without agricraft. You are still limited by having to make seeds from each tier because they are needed to upgrade the ritual stone. The thing that does remove a fair amount of challenge is that high tier magical crop seeds are pretty expensive and without Agricraft, you have to make as many as you want to plant. With agricraft, you only need to make one of each type and just let them spread. It definitely speeds up the progression. Just figured I'd share some of the good and bad since you are looking for a challenge.
