Known Issues:
- If you use the Brown Sprinkler you can not use the others right after that
- Multiple issues with sprinklers and not all plants been speed up in a farm
- Harvesting flowers sometimes revert them to ready to harvest again

Raul and development team... My experience has been that you CAN use the Red Sprinkler (at least) right after using the Brown Sprinkler. It says you can't -- but you CAN. The Red Sprinkler displays "Irrigate again in X hours" but it's just a display error. The farm selector includes the W in the farm name -- but that's also just a display error. I have been able to click my Red Sprinkler to irrigate crops without any problem. I can't speak for those who have the orange, green, or purple sprinklers... but I think this glitch is just a display error, not an actual problem.
There are indeed multiple issues with sprinklers, and not all plants are getting sped up in a farm. However, I've been able to speed up all crops on all farms by showing flowers and trees first, before clicking my red sprinkler on the farm. I had to add a few flowers to some farms in order to make this work, as without flowers to show, I got half of the crops irrigated and half not. Again, this is just for the Red Sprinkler. It might be different for players with the other sprinklers.
I haven't seen my flowers ready to harvest immediately, but I have seen something else. Since the new update, it's possible to repeatedly irrigate flowers to speed up their growth more than once. I sped up flowers on several farms twice, by using my Red Sprinkler two days in a row, and that made them ready to harvest within about a day. I know this isn't supposed to happen. I'm wondering if this is what players mean, when they say the flowers are ready to harvest again right away. As far as the fix for the display of flowers after watering them (just water) -- that is fixed on my farms. Now when I water them, they don't look ready to harvest or tell me they're ready (when they're not).
I hope this helps to resolve things.
Edit: I went back to my farm 13, where I'd planted Acorn Squash shortly after the update was released -- pretty sure it was Friday night. This farm has tons of flowers on it, but I'd kept them hidden when I irrigated, and ended up with the half and half situation. I irrigated this one twice, since the crop was long-term. I remember seeing 3 days for one half to grow, and 1 day for the other -- must have been the next day (Saturday). After re-irrigating a second time on Sunday, the display said 1.5 days for one half (that had been 3 days) and remained at 1 day for the other half -- so I concluded that crops couldn't be sped up twice, but the flowers could be.
Well... tonight (Monday) I came back to farm 13 and found the side that had been irrigated on day 1, but didn't seem affected by the second irrigation, WAS irrigated the second time, also! That half now displays 2.3 hours until it's grown... while the other half, that went from 3 days to 1.5 days, now displays 14.4 hours until it's grown. So after I closed the game, the left side DID end up irrigated a second time -- while the right side was irrigated only one time. As you work on the problem, I hope it helps to know that BOTH crops and flowers can currently be sped up more than once (after the 20 hour waiting period). Clear as mud?
Irrigated farm 13 a THIRD time, after harvesting flowers (which were ready after two irrigations sped them up twice)... The left side now says 1.8 hours till grown, and the right side now says 13.9 hours until grown. I reloaded the game and went back, to make sure these were the actual times. The flowers are completely irrigated (sped up).
Farm 16... Had no flowers on it. I planted after the update, and had one section that didn't irrigate (5x5). Last night, all was ready except for that 5x5 section.. and I chose to wait to harvest the whole thing together. Tonight, the entire field displayed the exact same time to waste. Baffled by that one... So then I replanted Acorn Squash. I still had no flowers, so I planted some NEW flowers on it. I showed both flowers and trees (none though) -- reloaded the farm -- and clicked my Red Sprinkler. All the crops were irrigated, but...
the new flowers were NOT irrigated! I'm baffled again. These are the first flowers that didn't get sped up by the Red Sprinkler, before or after the update. So there's another glitch with NEWLY planted flowers. I'm not sure if it's a new problem or an old one.
