When crops are stiffed and have Farmer's Touch they continue to grow without the growing animation of the plants meaning as long as you can provide micronutrients other requirements like water, light, atmosphere, temperature, and pressure are unnecessary. In the picture below I have bristle blossoms in a greenhouse with a light set at 1% duration per cycle. While they are stiffed they are not using any of the water in their inventory yet they are still growing thanks to the farmer's touch. and once per cycle the light turns on and the plant updates it's growth before turning off, this keeps going until they are ready to harvest and they used less than a kg of water
(Note the cycle timer in the top left of the pictures)
Here I did the same trick with dust caps, the slime contents didn't drop at all due to being stiffed from illumination yet I was able to harvest them after turning the light off 8 cycles later 
(Again note the cycle in the upper left side)
Have a farmer apply micronutrients to a stiffed plant for a few cycles, undue the stiffed and check growth rate
