WILT & WITHER MYTHS

Checkmate Wither
Claimed that a plant will wither when it wilts three times consecutively within the plant growing stage.

Result
Claim is false per results below. Thavnairian Onion was subjected to 5 wilting statuses and did not wither.

Wilt Halts Growth / Prolonged Wilt Causes Wither
Claimed that a plant will halt growth when it enters wilt stage or that a plant subjected to prolonged wilt time will wither.

Result
Claim is false per results below. Thavnairian Onion was subjected to total combined wilt time of 96 hours (4 days) and there was no delay due to wilting at all. Also seeing that the Onion survived on wilt for 4 days out of 10 days total (40% of total grow time) this shows cumulative wilt time will not wither a plant.
