Botany Issue? Plant stats plummet rapidly when you don't harvest them

[ophaq]

Round ID: 2089

Reproduction:

So I had a glow berry bush at 1400ish potency, unwrenched the tray to take it to shuttle and it immediately went to 50 potency or so. I dug it up, planted a new seed of around same potency, it grew really fast and it went to really low potency again around 10-15 seconds later. The tray had plenty of saltpetre and some ammonia in it.

This just doesn't happen with that either, I find it frustrating that when growing plants they don't maintain their stats, especially when you add compost. If you don't harvest fast enough, then the plant ends up just having terrible stats after a few seconds. I don't know if this is intentional or a bug, but it doesn't make sense that a plant's stats can be so unstable if you leave it alone too long (5-10 seconds). Especially when you are trying to multitask other plants and giving the plants good quality chems and composting.

My suggestion is, if this isn't a bug which I am hoping it is, is to have a plant's stats kept in "stasis mode" until it is harvested. Or alternatively, make the window for stats to start plummeting a much longer time window.

@dwasint / @wraith-54321 unsure if this still happens or not. Nothing has been mentioned of this in some time.
