I built this automatic Sugarcane farm but it's pretty slow and doesn't collect all drops. Any ideas on getting more from this farm? imgur.com/a/36OA9c5

I know 3 kinds of sugar cane farms that you can make, and I know that you can improve your current one with 2 of the 3 designs :D
Hope this helps

1. Classic solution
Pros: Lots of sugarcane, uses less materials, can be stacked.
Cons: Items get stuck often, takes up quite a bit of space


2. "I'm an engineer" solution
Pros: All sugarcane drops and picked-up
Cons: Can't be stacked, uses a butt ton of material, takes up a lot of space


3. Minimalist solution
Pros: Less material used, stack-able, takes up very little space (6x6)
Cons: Not all drops and picked-up


If you have any questions, or want a guide on how to make these in survival, then just ask me :)

What I have right now looks a lot like the classic solution, but it looks like that water is flowing which is not what I have. I've got hoppers all in front of where the sugarcane gets broken. Got any guides on building the second one? I don't need that much expandability but I do want all drops picked up, and I've got a butt-ton of materials to build redstone contraptions with lol.

Here's an emerald for your time!

pretty sure it's because it is stationary water
try making it one thing that flows across
you can also have a hopper minecart that rides underneath

Stationary water may be the issue, let me give that change a shot!
