Ready to add excitement to your garden? Weather events can trigger rare crop mutations worth big Sheckles—here’s how to make it happen!

Introduction #

Welcome back, savvy gardeners!
You’ve tackled planting basics and layout—now let’s explore weather events and crop mutations. These dynamic elements bring unpredictability and opportunity to your farm: know how to harness them!

Understanding Weather Events #

Grow A Garden features a global, synced weather system that affects all players.

Common Weather Types: #

  • Sunny/Clear – Default, no bonus effects.
  • Rain – Automatically waters crops, speeds growth +50%, and gives a 50% chance for the Wet mutation.
  • Thunderstorm – Same benefits as rain, with chances for lightning to strike crops causing the Shocked (100Ă—) mutation.
  • Frost – Similar growth +50%, applies Chilled (2Ă—) and can combine Wet + Chilled into Frozen (10Ă—).

Special Weather (Event-Based): #

  • Night/Blood Moon – Night gives Moonlit (2Ă—); Blood Moon gives Bloodlit (4Ă—).
  • Meteor Shower – Strikes crops with Celestial (120Ă—).

Other admin-triggered events (Disco, Jandel Storm, Chocolate Rain, Tornado, Black Hole, Sun God) also cause powerful mutations—but these are less predictable.

Weather’s Impact on Your Strategy #

  • Watering needs: Rain and frost reduce the need for manual watering but aren’t constant—sprinklers remain vital.
  • Growth bonus: All these weather types boost crop growth by ~50%.
  • Visual cues: Watch the sky and UI alerts for event starts.
  • Mutation influence: Weather is a primary driver behind powerful mutations—so plan your planting around events!

Introduction to Crop Mutations #

What Are Mutations? #

Rare variations of your crops with unique visuals and higher sell prices—multipliers range from 2× to over 135×.

Why They Matter: #

  • Massive income boost
  • Fun to discover and collect
  • Key targets for advanced farming

How Crop Mutations Occur #

  1. Weather-triggered (most reliable):

    • Rain → Wet (2Ă—) → with Frost → Frozen (10Ă—)
    • Thunderstorm → Shocked (100Ă—)
    • Night/Blood Moon/Meteor events → Moonlit, Bloodlit, Celestial

  2. Random/environmental:

    • Gold (20Ă—), Rainbow (50Ă—), Zombified, Pollinated—happen randomly or via pets/tools.

  3. Admin events:

    • Disco → Disco (125Ă—), Black Hole → Voidtouched (135Ă—), Tornado → Twisted (30Ă—), Laser → Plasma (5Ă—), Sun God → Dawnbound (150Ă—).

Identifying & Harvesting Mutated Crops #

  • Mutations are visually distinctive: water droplets (Wet), ice block (Frozen), glowing colors, etc.
  • The game sometimes alerts you during events (Blood Moon/Super-style notifications).
  • Harvest them as usual—just sell for significantly higher Sheckles.

Strategies for Encouraging Mutations #

  • Dedicated zones: Reserve space for mutation-focused crops.
  • Mass planting: More crops mean more mutation chances.
  • Use tools/pets: Lightning Rods, Star Callers, Night Staff, Bee pets boost mutation rates.
  • Let crops grow: Hold off harvesting—mutations increase the longer they stay.
  • Event awareness: Be online during weather events.
  • Stack setups: Combine weather, pets, and tools to maximize potential.

Conclusion #

Weather events and crop mutations bring strategic depth and big rewards.
By preparing layout, planting timing, and using pets/tools, you can boost your garden’s profitability and excitement.
Experiment, be patient, and enjoy the rare thrill of harvesting a mutated crop!
